If you are looking to purchase a t-shirt or flannel with your registration, June 29th 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
Add-On Deadline is June 29th
For 2025, the 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.
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!

Previous Year Winners
NCTRaces: Palmer's awards "traveling staffs" and following year entries to overall winners in each distance. Those overall winners are required to bring (or make sure it gets to the race somehow) the staff back to defend their title or pass it on. The free entry that overall winners get can be used for any distance, but can not be transferred to another runner.
