Here's the email I just sent out to all the registered runners(if you didn't get the email it's most likely b/c it went into your spam or bulk folder-- to avoid this happening in the future add james@rainshadowrunning.com to your contacts and/or "opt in" to the mailing list so your email account will stop blocking the emails--thanks!):

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for signing up for this year's Cle Elum 50k and 25k. I want to let y'all know/remind y'all about a few things real quick:

25k start time will be at 9am instead of 8:30am

We still could use a few more volunteers for during a the race (including one or two with a 4WD truck willing to drive supplies and volunteers to the first aid station which is on a road that is best to have 4WD a little bit of clearance--a subaru could do it but a truck would be better) and few volunteers for before the race-- runner check in on staurday morning and one or two people to help with course marking on thursday(a runner who knows the course and doesn't get lost easily prefered). As always volunteers earn a free entry for themselves or to give to who ever they want (maybe you!). email me if you or someone you know may be interested in volunteering.

Sold Out... Almost!: If your friends aren't on the Entrants Lists you might want to remind them the race has only a handful of spots still open! The limit is 200 total runners for the two races combined.

Please Carpool! The race is bigger than ever and there is limited parking. You can use the handy dandy Rainshadow Carpooling Website to help facilitate this.

Drop Bags: 50k runners can have them at Aid Station B(mile 15.2) and Aid Station C(mile 23.6). 25k runners can have a drop bag at Aid Station C(mile 9.6). Drop bags will not return to the finish until the aid stations close-- bags from Aid B will return around 2pm and the bags from Aid C won't return until around 4pm so plan accordingly.

Cut-off Times: Cut-times are designed to make sure everyone is done before dark and so the volunteers know(roughly) when they get to head back to the start/finish for the post race party!
Aid Station A Cut-off: 11:00am
Aid Station B Cut-off: 12:30pm
Aid Station C Cut-off: 3:00pm for 50k and 12:30pm for 25k

Post Race: We'll again hang out by the creek at the finish eating sandwiches, fresh local fruit and drinks including fresh local beer from Boundary Bay Brewery. Bring your lawn chairs it sit in and share with others. Friends and family welcome!

UP NEXT!: The next two trail Rainshadow Running Races are brand new and should not be missed, if you survive Cle Elum you'll love these new races: Mt Spokane 50k and 25k on October 8th near Spoakne, WA and Deception Pass 50k and 25k on December 10th near Anacortes, WA. And stay tuned for news of all the 2012 races which should be coming soon!

Thanks again for signing up and we'll see ya soon!

Date Change details and Refund Policy: So since the race is now being moved to a new date and since that new date doesn't work for everyone I'm offering folks the choice of one of the following three options:

Run the race on Sept 17th
Run a different Rainshadow Running Race for the same price as Cle Elum
Receive a 50% refund of your race fee and 100% refund of your t-shirt fee if you purchased one.

Some you may wonder why option #3 is not 100% refund for both race fee and shirt fee. The reason is pretty simple there are costs for the race that have already been spent and all the additional work of the date change is increasing the race expenses. If there are only a few runners who request option #3 then maybe the percentage of refund will be higher but for right now 50% is the best I can offer.

If you choose option #1 you don't need to do anything I'll assume you'll be doing the race on the Sept 17th if I don't hear from you.

If you're choosing option #2 please email me and i'll give you the link to use to transfer your entry to another race and i'll remove you from the Cle Elum entrants list.

If you're choosing option #3 please email me and I will send you a refund check in the mail.

For those runners signing up after June 13th they too will be offered these same options if they can't run the race for any reason as long as I am given notice at least one week prior to race day. There will be no refunds for any reason for runners dropping out the week of the race or that do not show up on race day.

Crew Driving Directions

2010-09-14T11:29:00.001-07:00

The Cle Elum Aid Stations aren't very crew friendly. Sorry.

Aid Station A is pretty much off limits to crew because of the road to it is rough, narrow and has some car swallowing "pot holes".

Aid Station B requires either a 1/2 mile walk or a 4wd truck with good clearance(a subaru is not going to make it).

And Aid Station C has no road access at all and requires a 1/4 mile hike down a steep deer trail and there's only enough parking at the "trailhead" for the volunteers so crew would have to park even further away.

I'd recommend just having your friends and family meet you at the finishline to celebrate--unless they're super committed. You can have drop bags at Aid B(50k only) mile 15.2 and Aid C mile 24.5(or 10.6 for the 25k).

In case that wasn't enough to scare your crew away here are the driving directions for Aid B and Aid C :

To get to Aid B you'll drive right past Aid C so i'll make note of that in the directions to Aid B. From Taneum Junction head southwest on forest service rd 3300. after about 8.5 miles the road makes a 90 degree turn to the left and there is a small pull out big enough for about 2 cars this is the "trailhead" for Aid C--there will probably be a small sign and ribbons leading the way down to the aid station.

To get to Aid B continue past this spot about 3.2 more miles to a gate blocking the road. stop here open the gate(it should be unlocked) drive through and close the gate behind you--if you see anyone else not affiliated with the race going through the gate be sure to let them know the gate will be locked at the end of the day and that they risk getting locked in if they continue. 0.1 mile past the gate the road forks. Turn right at the fork and go about 3.3 miles to an unsigned road heading west. turn left onto the unsigned road. after a tenth of a mile or two you'll have to park on the side of the road and walk the 1/2 mile to the aid station unless you have a truck with good clearance. The aid station is where the road turns to gray gravel. there should be a table and water jugs and maybe a sign.

To get to Aid C from here re-trace your route 6.6-7.1 miles depending on far up the road you drove to Aid B. Remember there is very limited parking at the "trailhead" for Aid C.

To adjust for the needs of the 25k runners the aid station and water only stations will be in new locations-- and there will now be three full aid stations for the 50k and 2 for the 25k. The 50k will also have three water only stations and the 25k will have one.

2012 Volunteers

2010-01-28T11:57:00.000-08:00

Volunteers are essential to the success of the race! We still need volunteers to staff the aid stations, finishline, for pre-race check-in and for sweeping the course. In exchange for a full days worth of volunteering you can earn a credit for a free entry to one of the other 12 Rainshadow Running Races, such as Orcas Island, Sun Mountain or one of the many new races. Or you can transfer your credit to a running friend or family member so they can run this year's Cle Elum race for free! Volunteers will also get to eat all the aid station food and post race food they want!

Important Update #2

2009-09-17T11:56:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone

I hope you're all getting excited for this weekend's race! The weather is looking like there's a 50% chance of rain and it'll be chilly in the morning hopefully the rainshadow will keep the moisture away!

If you haven't been to the website in the last couple weeks you probably don't know about the most recent changes-- the 50k gets an extra aid station and the 25k is now much closer to being actually 25k(now about 15.4 miles). All the info is on the blogsite including new cutoff times, course descriptions, maps, and profiles-- if none of this looks different from earlier in the summer try hitting the refresh button on your browser. If you're going to have crew follwing you around be sure they check out the new aid station driving directions(the first two aid stations are on marginal forest service roads and so the driver should be prepared for real mountain driving) and please remind them to shut the road gates after they go through them to keep out the general public.

I also want to remind you all to either bring your northwest forest pass or $5 bucks(exact change or check please) to buy a day pass for parking at the start--i wouldn't want anyone to get a ticket!

also don't forget it's a long drive (30mins) from the exit on I-90 so be sure to leave plenty of time to get to the start and pick up your packet. check-in starts at 6am and it would be great if everyone was checked-in no later than 7:45. so please plan accordingly. if you're not an early riser there is camping at the start/finish and there will be a bunch of us there hanging out the nite before.

and there is an early start for the 50k runners who are worried about not making the new 9 hour cutoff-- i think times could be 30 to 60 minutes slower than previous years due to the additional 2000ft of elevation gain and possibly more technical trail. the early start at 7am would give runers 10 hours to make it to the finishline in time (5pm) to get an official finsih.

oh and i think this is the last note. you can have drop bags at the last three aid stations: aid #2 (mile 12.6), aid #3 (mi20.1) and aid #4 (mi24.6). The aid stations will have water, nuun, gu, cookies, chips, potatos, salt, m&ms, payday bars, fruit, pb&j, and maybe some other stuff. the aid stations will also have wet wipes, tp, vaseline, and duct tape.

Thanks again and see you soon!

james

ps i'm leaving for cle elum this afternoon and will probably be out of cell service most of the time between now and race time. i should be able to check my email and voice messages occasionally but don't expect a quick response.

Important Update #1

2009-08-27T16:10:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone!

Thanks for signing up for the race! As many of you know the Cle Elum Ridge Run is a little different this year. First off I've been handed the Race Direcing responsibilites from Chris and Marty Fagan who had done a fantastic job the past few years continuing the great traditions that Frank Fleetham started back in 1995! So ofcourse I had to tinker with things, I added a 25k, which I feel is a great way to get more folks involved. And the biggest change of all was to the course itself-- the course now spends as much time as possible up high on ridges!

One change however has had to be un-changed and that is the start/finish location. I had hoped to put the start/finish up high also but due to restrictions placed on the use of the proposed area I've decided (very recently) to move back to the place the race has always used, Taneum Junction. This change obviously results in the the reordering of the aid stations, a big change to the 25k course and minor changes to the 50k course. New maps and course descritions for all of these changes will hopefully be up on the "blogsite" very soon (i'm running cascade crest 100 this weekend so it might be a few days). A brief description will hopefully give you a good idea of what to expect:

Both races will start simultaneously at Taneum Junction (elevation 2800ft) and will head west on rd 3300 for approximately 2.1 miles (to spread everyone out before getting on the single track) and then turn left onto trail 1363 (Taneum Ridge Trail--el. 3700ft). All runners will follow this trail up and over Taneum Ridge (high point 5545ft). There will be a water only station at mile 4.7. Upon reaching the first full aid station at mile 9.2 (in the pass between Taneum and Peaches Ridges just past the junction with trail 1367--el. 4900ft) the 25k runners will turnaround and the 50k runners will continue on trail 1363. The 25k runners will follow the 1363 all the way back to Taneum Junction (with the water stop now at mile 13.7) and NOT running on the road as they did on the way out making for a long "25k" of 17.9 miles. The 50k runners will continue on trail 1363 3.0 miles past the aid station and turn right onto trail 1388 (Manastash Ridge Trail--el. 6000ft). From here to Aid Station #2 it's a 7.7 mile "rollercoaster ride" all well above 5000ft (there will be a water only station in middle of this section if road access allows--near mile 15 or 16). From the 2nd Aid Station (el. 5200ft) at mile 19.9 to Aid Station #3 (el. 4800ft) at mile 24.5 there are just a few small climbs but it's still roller coaster like with a low point of 4600ft and a high of 5400ft. From the last full aid station to the finish is almost all downhill (we all know it's never ALL downhill) and there will be a water only station at mile 27.8.

There will be more info and like i said the maps and course description coming to the blogsite real soon, become a "follower" of the blog to make sure you don't miss out on any updates.

I also wanted to send out a big thanks to our sponsors: NUUN, THE BALANCED ATHLETE, CARBBOOM and PATAGONIA.

Thanks again and I can't wait to see you all at the race!
James Varner

Welcome!

2009-07-24T02:50:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the "blogsite" for the Cle Elum Ridge 50k and 25k trail races! After experimenting with a new course last year I've decided to revert back to the classic course that everyone has loved to hate over the years. For those of you who know of me from the other races I direct (Orcas Island and Sun Mountain and the brand new Winthrop Road Marathon) or directed in the past (The Epic, The Cure for P(l)ain, and with John Pearch the Capitol Peak Ultras) you know I like to put on challenging races that reward the runner's hard work with great scenery. These two races are sure to uphold my hard earned reputation.

I look forward to seeing you this September up on the Cle Elum Ridge wether it's for the first time or for the first time since the last time!

Day of Race

2009-07-24T02:15:00.000-07:00

Bib Pickup

Bib numbers will be available at the starting line Saturday morning from 6:00 am till 7:30 am. Please allow early starters to pick up their bibs first.

The Start

The race will start at 8:00 am. For 50k runners only there will be a 7:00 am early start for those wanting an extra hour on the course. Driving time from I-90 is about 30 minutes as you are on roads with a low speed limits (watch out for deer and elk on the road). Please allow enough time to drive safely and arrive in time to check in.

Parking At The Start

You need a Forest Service Day Use parking pass($5)--we'll have them for sale at the start/finish if you don't already have a NW Forest Parking Pass. Parking area is at the Taneum Junction Camp at the junction of rd 33 and trails 1363 and 1326. Please leave the starting area free of cars so runners can check-in and volunteers can do their thing with out having to worry about cars.

Crew

The Aid Stations are not very easy for crews to get to. Sorry. Please consider having them just meet you at the finish to celebrate. Here's a link to more info.

Finish Line Feed/Party

The post race feed will start sometime in the afternoon. we'll also have a variety of drinks. you don't have to buy a ticket this year--everyone gets to eat including friends and family. bring lawn chairs to make yourselves comfortable as we cheer in the other runners, enjoy each other's company and take in the views. and also maybe we'll have a live band!

Volunteers

2009-07-24T02:02:00.000-07:00

Volunteers are essential to the success of the race! We still need volunteers to staff the aid stations, finishline, for pre-race check-in and for sweeping the course. In exchange for a full days worth of volunteering you can earn a credit for a free entry to one of the other Rainshadow Running Races, such as Orcas Island, Sun Mountain or one of the new races i hope to get approval for in 2010. Or you can transfer your credit to a running friend or family member so they can run this year's Cle Elum race for free! Volunteers will also get to eat all the aid station food and post race food they want!

Lodging and Camping

2009-07-24T01:52:00.000-07:00

The Stewart Lodge is the Cle Elum 50K Host Hotel and is located in Cle Elum about 40 minutes from the race start. They are offering a 10% discount on their Deluxe rooms to all Cle Elum runners. To get the discount call (509) 674-4548 and tell them you're with the race--the discount won't work on the website but check it out for more info: www.stewartlodge.com

The Timber Lodge Inn also in Cle Elum is also a good place to stay.

There's lots of options for camping. On the way to the start you pass two forest service camgrounds(taneum and ice water creek) and the start/finsih is at the taneum junction campground-- all of these are pretty simple/basic camps. In Easton and Cle Elum there are state parks and commercial campgrounds too.
