WS100 Entry Application
 

Due to the large number of runners interested in participation in the Western States Endurance Run, a lottery procedure has been established as the most equitable method of selection. We wish that we could accommodate every applicant, but concern for the safety of each participant, together with specific environmental limitations, dictate that the entry field be restricted. Entry procedures for the 2013 event will be as follows:

2013 Entry Process

The 2013 WS Run will be held Saturday, June 29, to Sunday, June 30, 2013.
