Hi everyone! First and foremost, I would like to thank all of you who were able to join us for the 2012 race on Saturday.
I hope that everyone had a wonderful time and are now relaxing and recovering. I know that some of you have already checked-out the results from our timing company, FastFinishes. Please note that there are some errors in the results at this time due to people changing between 50K and 50Mile races. I am currently in the process of going through the results and working with the timing company to resolve the errors and hope to have a corrected version of the results up by tomorrow (Tuesday). So I ask that you please be patient and refrain from e-mailing any questions to me about the results until the corrected version is up tomorrow. I know that there are multiple changes to be made. This is only our second year in using chip timing and we are still working out the kinks with how to smoothly handle the changing of 50K/50Mile runners. I thank you for your patience with this.
If you have any feedback on things that you think could be changed to help make our event better, I would love to hear from you. Please e-mail me at fl50s@yahoo.com with your comments/suggestions. We can always improve on what we can do for you!
I would like to thank you all for coming out and running - without you all there would not be a race! And thanks to all who volunteered their help and their families' and friends' help before and after the race. I can't tell you how much this meant to me!
I hope to see you all again next year as we celebrate our 25th anniversay. Until then, rest and recover and continue to enjoy the trails. Best of luck with the rest of your racing season!
Happy trails -
Chris

Registration for the 2013 Finger Lakes Fifties has reached the limit of 250 runners for all three distances combined (25k, 50k, 50 mile). Registration for the WAITLIST is open. Individuals will be taken from the waitlist as cancellations come in and openings are available - individuals will be taken in order of the date they came onto the waitlist, not by the race distance (so say you were #1 on the 50 mile list on on Ultra Signup, if someone entered on the 25k list on a date before you, they would be chosen first). UltraSignup maintains waitlist entrants in order by race distance; waitlist entrants in order of date of entry onto the waitlist will be found on this site). PLEASE NOTE: Although UltraSignup asks for your credit card information when you sign up for the waitlist, you DO NOT pay prior to getting off of the waitlist. If you are chosen from the waitlist and ACCEPT the invitation, only then will your credit card be charged. Also, if you are chosen from the waitlist and decline the invitation, your card will not be charged.
