Registration for the 2012 JMTR 50 mile and 50k races opens December 1st, 2011. Registration for the 2012 JMTR half marathon opens February 1st, 2012. The entry fees are unchanged from 2011. This year we will maintain a wait-list for races that fill up.
Registration will again be through UltraSignup.com. Click the link in the table below to go to the entry page for each race on UltraSignup.com.
The 2012 JMTR races will again be "cupless" races to reduce waste generated by our events. All runners in all races will need to carry a water bottle and/or other hydration system to refill at the aid stations.
The JMTR races take place in the scenic Jemez mountains in Northern New Mexico. The course is on technical
trails with a substantial amount of elevation change. The 50k and 50 mile events include extremely
steep climbs and descents on very technical terrain. On the course, runners will experience high
altitude (over 10,000 feet above sea level), scree fields, stream crossings, fallen trees,
and other obstacles. The course has numerous aid stations but there are some long stretches (greater than 5 miles) between aid stations. Please review the
course description page for more details. Runners are encouraged to strongly consider their comfort
level on this type of terrain before registering.
All entrants will receive a t-shirt, free entry to the pre-race pasta dinner and other yet-to-determinded goodies.
Packet pick-up dates and times are yet to be determined. The pre-race pasta dinner will be on Friday, May 18th, from 4:30pm to 7:30pm at the Crossroads Bible Church in Los Alamos (PDF map). Dinner will be served around 5:00pm. Packets can also be picked up at least 15 minutes before the race at the Posse Shack. For additional details, see the JMTR Runner's Manual (not yet updated for 2012 but still relevant.)
Refund Policy
For 2012, runners who withdraw before May 1st, 2012 will receive a 50% refund only if the spot can be filled by a wait-listed runner. After May 1, 2012 all entry fees are nonrefundable. No refunds can be given if there is no one on the waitlist. No transfer of entry to another person and no transfer of entry to another year. We will maintain a separate waitlist for each race through the Ultra Signup site.
Cancellation Policy
The race director reserves the right to cancel the race in the case of conditions beyond our control
such as wild fire, extreme weather, forest closure or other acts of nature or unusual circumstances. The runners'
safety is the top priority in the decision. After accounting for the significant amount of funds that will have already been committed, the JMTR will return a portion of the entry fee if the race is cancelled.
We appreciate your understanding if cancellation is necessary.
