Entry Schedule

The entry process for the 2009 BRR will open on January 26. We will use the same system as last year with some minor modifications. Entry is a two step process. You fill out the application, we have a lottery and, if you "win," you come back to the Web site to pay the entry fee. If you "lose" the lottery, you can get on the waiting list.

Those seeking entry will apply on-line during the period January 26-February 2. We will pick the entry field and prioritize the waiting list on February 3. During the period February 6-13, those eligible to enter must pay the entry fee, and those wanting to be on the waiting list must mail in a check.

Priorities: The initial field will be selected randomly. Each applicant has an equal chance of being in the initial starting field. We will, however, have priorities on the waiting list. Given our experience with movement off the waiting list, we expect that these priorities will be significant. In 2008, everyone who participated in the initial entry process was able eventually to enter the event.

Scholarship Applicants Please Note: We are again offering entry fee scholarships, but you must request one from the RD by January 23.

Here are the priorities. Within groups, ranking is by the random number that is assigned in the entry process.

  1. Applicants who, on three prior occasions, served as pre-committed volunteers at either BRR or MMT
  2. Prior overall winners of the men's or women's division of the BRR
  3. Finishers of prior BRRs, ranked by number of finishes

After February 13, we will reopen the waiting list for persons who did not apply in the initial lottery or who did, but did not complete the process in a timely manner.

There is a full explanation of the 2009 entry procedure if you are interested. It is very detailed. You are welcome to read it, but you don't have to.
