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.


THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SUPPORT OUR EVENT!


AID STATIONS

Here is what you will find at the FIVE manned aid stations on the course (one you will be able to hit twice on each loop of the course):

Chips, pretzels, M&Ms (plain and peanut), fig newtons, PB&J sandwiches, Twizzlers, cola, gingerale, HEED sports drink (strawberry and melon flavors), water.  We are also planning on having a limited supply of Hammer Endurolytes available at each station.  THERE WILL NOT BE ANY MEDICATIONS (Ibuprofen, Tylenol, Aspirin, etc.) supplied by the race.  If you think you will need any of this you must supply your own.

Remember . . . NO LITTERING. ANYONE FOUND LITTERING WILL BE DISQUALIFIED! Large garbage receptacles will be at each station for you to throw your garbage in.
 
Aid Station #1 ("The Morgue"):  distance from start ~3.6 miles.

Aid Station #2 ("The South Beach"):  distance from AS#1 ~1.5 miles (you will continue running on a sort-of lollipop-shaped loop for ~2-2.5 more miles and then can access this aid station again).

Aid Station #3 ("The Library"):  at ~10.5 miles into the loop.  Distance from AS#2 (second pass):  ~3 miles.

Aid Station #4 ("The Outback"):  at ~13.7 miles into the loop.  Distance from AS#3 ~3.2 miles.

Aid Station 5 ("The Living Room"):  at 16.5 miles.  This is the finish line/start of subsequent loops (this is the "home base" area where you can leave your own supplies and have access to them before beginning the next loop).  Distance from AS#4 ~2.8 miles.
