Brought to you by East and West and Third Coast Race Directors
Destination Trail Races led by West Coast Race Director Candice Burt and Yeti Trail Runners led by East Coast Race Director Jason Green and Third Coast Director Ally Gregory bring you a virtual challenge that will pit the East and West and Third Coasts against each other in the epic battle you didn't know you needed right now! Choose your side and let the running (and walking) begin!
WORLDWIDE: Participate from anywhere in the world! Shipping is $10 extra for international (outside the USA). If you're international just choose a side: East of West!
It's so simple, everyone can join in. Here's how is works:
1. Signup for a distance on ultrasignup for our 10k, Half Marathon or 50K (or all 3!) from April 1 - May 15 (Please note that recording runs doesn't start until April 1) while choosing East Coast or West Coast or Third Coast team. Register here
2. Choose a place, date, time to run that is safe/where you can socially distance whether it be indoors or outdoors please follow local covid laws and guidelines for your state. You may use a treadmill, run on the road or trail or all 3! It's up to you.
3. Run any day or time from April 1, 2021 - May 15, 2021. It's timed like a race or FKT, once you start your run the clock keeps going. If you don't care about your time then you can do it slowly (as in multiple days) but the clock doesn't stop. Most participants will choose to do the entire distance in one go, rather than breaking it up into different days because remember - if you do it over several days the clock doesn't stop!
4. Run (or Walk) while recording your time. To submit a time and get on the leaderboard you will need one of two different verifications: 1. Link to a site like strava, garmin connect, or other site that records your run- make sure to set the run to "public" so we can verify it. OR 2. take a selfie with your time/distance if you're on a treadmill or from your watch if you don't use strava/garmin/other program. It's easy! Please note ALL verification will be public on ultrasignup so you may check other people's verification when perusing live results. The Leaderboard will be live all month! The top times for age group and genders will receive special prizes and we will have some fun DFL prizes as well.
5. Upload your time and data to ultrasignup and get results in real time! You do not have to submit a time, all participants will be mailed a medal regardless of whether they submit a time. To show up on the leaderboard or win special prizes you will have to submit a time.
SUBMITTING A TIME / LIVE LEADERBOARD
The easiest way to submit your time is to do the following:
Go to the registration page and use the "Record Results" orange button next to the green "register" button. That will allow you to record your results easily and quickly. The link to the page is here.

*You can also upload your time and data by logging into your ultrasignup account and going to "registration history". If you registered as a guest you will not be able to access the event in your registration history and will have to upload via the directions above.
MEDALS AND SHIRTS
All participants will receive a medal! Medals are made in the USA. Shirts are an "add on" and you can purchase one if you like when registering. Medals and shirts are shipped 1x a week, so expect them to take up to 2 weeks to arrive, possibly longer if you're international.
