If, when you registered - in your online application, you volunteered to work a later shift in exchange for an earlier bib number (below 300) and it is not reflected here, please let Lauri Bassett (lbassett@alaska.com) know.  All requests have not been fully-reconciled if you sent the message to the Volunteer Director separately, or used the "Volunteer Now" tool on the Website. Please give us a couple days to compare notes before you panic. Bib numbers are not assigned based on when you signed up. There are still volunteer slots open if you want an earlier bib number. You may contact the Volunteer Director (cruzer@acsalaska.nett)for one of these slots. The Volunteer Director is in the process of notifying the directors of who their volunteers are. You should hear from your race committee director by May 11.

PLEASE NOTE:
I
f you plan on training on any portion of the Gold Nugget course that is on military property (Artillery Road on the bike and the first 2.5 miles of the run on the tank trails) you are required to get a Recreational Permit (RP) form Fort Richardson.  To get the permit, go the Fort Richardson gate.  They will issue a two year permit with a phone number that you are required to call each time you visit military property.  Occasionally there will be a new guard at the gate who doesn’t know about RPs.  However, if they search they will find the clipboard for the RP check-in.   When you check in via phone, you might find that the area you wish to visit is closed for maneuvers.  If this is the case, please respect the closure as we are guests on Fort Richardson.
Even if you have a military ID, you still need a Rec permit to use the trail.


The phone number to the main gate is 384-2916, and they can answer any questions you might have regarding the permitting process.
