REQUIREMENTS
Runners must have completed a 50 mile trail race between 6/1/2023 and 8/20/2024, or any 100 mile trail race. You may register without having completed a trail 50 miler, but you are agreeing to have finished one by 8/20/2024. If you sign up and do not complete the requirement, you will not be able to race and will not be refunded your entry. Entries are not transferable. All runners must complete 8 hours of volunteer trail work between 1/1/2024 and 8/20/2024. Submit your trail work and qualifying race by 8/21/2024.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Teanaway Country 100 will challenge runners of all levels. The race will begin at 5:00 AM on September 21, 2024. Runners will have until 9:00 PM September 22, 2024 to finish the run. September in Washington can be a bit of a mixed bag weather wise. The days could be very warm and the nights quite cool. There’s even potential for snow in some of the higher elevations. Runners should be prepared with multiple layers to accommodate the variable weather.
This run takes place in wild and rugged country. Though unlikely, runners may encounter bears, cougars, and even wolves. Runners should be prepared for wildlife encounters.
There will be 13 aid stations throughout the course, yet we recommend that runners plan to carry at least 40 ounces of water. We also recommend that each runner carry enough food to last them for 3 - 4 hours. The aid stations are never more than 10 miles apart, but given the rugged terrain, that could still be a few hours in between aid stations.
Pacers are allowed from Miller Peak onward. That means you can pick up or swap out pacers at any crew accessible aid station from mile 45 to the finish. You may only run with one pacer at a time.

DRIVING DIRECTIONS TO AID STATIONS
REFUNDS ARE NOT OFFERED FOR ANY REASON
Refunds are not offered for any reason. However, runners may defer their spot to the following year with our Pregnancy and New Child Deferment.
PREGNANCY AND NEW CHILD DEFERMENT
A runner may defer their entry to the following year if they meet one of these requirements:
The runner becomes pregnant after entering the race.
The runner or their partner gives birth to a child in the time between the runner entering the race and the deferral deadline.
The runner adopts a child under the age of 5 in the time between the runner entering the race and the deferral deadline.
The following rules apply to Pregnancy or New Child deferrals:
A deferral gives the runner a spot for the following year’s race which is not transferable.
All qualification requirements for the following year’s race must be met. No exceptions.
The deferral rolls over the entry fee to the next year.
The deferral does not roll over the trail work requirement.
The deadline for requesting a deferral is 60 days before the race.
Please note that time periods for a deferral are designed to support runners and partners who experience changes AFTER they have registered for the race. A runner who is pregnant or has a new child prior to registration is not covered in this policy. Contact the Race Director to request a deferment.
SUPPORTING TRAIL MIXED COLLECTIVE
$10 from each registration will go to the Trail Mixed Collective to support their core purpose of increasing access to outdoor sports for women of color. They believe that approaching new outdoor sports and later, advancing at them, relies on a few things: inspiration from people we can relate to, access to education and gear, safe community spaces, and motivation and guidance from mentors who care. The outdoors is for everyone, and their goal is to help create safe spaces to learn, grow, bond, and excel for women of color. And we couldn’t agree more!
TRAIL SISTERS APPROVED
We have been following the Trail Sisters Approved Standards for years now and strongly support the advancement of women in trail running.
