NCTRaces
Mission:
Our mission at NCTRaces is to raise a charitable donation for our local chapter of the North Country Trail Association. The Brule-St. Croix chapter of the NCTA is responsible for building, improving, and maintaining the North Country Trail in our area. As runners, hikers, and nature enthusiasts this trail is essential to in our connection to nature. It is our pleasure to help in any way possible, whether through donations, trail work, volunteering, or enrollment.

Online Registration
Online registration is the easiest, safest, and cheapest option for NCTRaces. Registrations have increasing cost windows, so the earlier you register online, the better deal you will get. If you are looking to purchase a t-shirt or flannel with your registration, March 30th is the deadline for those items (so they can be ordered and ready to pick up at the event).
Our online registration is through UltraSignup. Access our online registration through this link:

Registration Add-Ons
Registration prices are cheap! That is because the standard t-shirt that has always been included in registration is now an Add-On. I thought that would be a way to keep costs down for people that don't want a shirt anyways. 2026 T-Shirt pictures will be uploaded and on UltraSignup when the design is complete!
ALSO, we have an NCTRaces Flannel for sale as an Add-On. The flannels are meant to be an ongoing tally of NCTRaces that you have run or volunteered at. There will be leather patches to add on to the flannels (patches will be free). Participants and volunteers can add the patches throughout the year/years. If you are/were a volunteer (or just want a flannel), and are not signing up for a race, contact me and I will put you on an order list!
