COVID-19 UPDATE: Runners, the race committee has been monitoring the COVID-19 situation and has decided to postpone the JBTR until September 2020. We are currently awaiting approval on a new date from the Forest Service, which issues our permit. As soon as we know, we'll update you. We are changing our no-refund policy due to these unusual circumstances. Anyone who already registered for the June race will have the option of transferring their registration to the Sept date, donating the fee to BSF, or receiving a refund. Once we set the date, you'll receive an email with instructions on how to choose your option. Thank you for your understanding as we try to keep the safety of our community and our runners as the top priority.
Registration fee: $50 through June 1
