We are very sorry to have to postpone our January event. However we are moving the event to April 10th, 2021.
Southern Tour is more than just a trail race, it is being around friends, teammates, BBQ, live music and classic rock all day, camaraderie and a care free atmosphere.
We have been advised by our healthcare team that two weeks after the holidays is going to be a tough time to have a race atmosphere like we are used to let alone 800 people in a field. We even put plans together to have you show up and run as a team during a time slot, but that is not what Southern Tour is all about.
We have decided to move to April 10th, 2021. The weather will be warmer, the grass will be greener, and the chances will be much higher of having a worry free event. It gives our health care system some time to get vaccines out and our most vulnerable population vaccinated.
The LAST MAN STANDING EVENT - will still take place this January 15th at 7pm since there is only 22 people in that event. That will be the only event to take place The format for the Last Man Standing will move to a 4.167 miles every hour as the traditional "backyard ultra" is held. If you are crazy and you want to transfer to that event, just email me and I can switch you, there will only be a limited amount of spots available for that event.
All 50K, 50 mile, and 50 mile relay teams, have 3 options. Only email us if you want a refund or transfer, otherwise if you are on board for April 10th, you don't have to do anything:)
Stay in the event for April 10th, 2021. You do not have to do anything the dates are all changes in the sign up system. If your team wasn't full they can still register and join your team as normal.
Transfer to Copperhead 20K or 20K Relay or Shakori 40mile 40K or 40 mile relay next fall.
Request a full refund or donate your entry to the Wilmington Health Foundation.
Any requested changes need to be made by January 8th
