Upon registering for the Distance Challenge you will be able to add each race to your check out cart. Race entry fees are exclusively discounted for DC participants, and one of the amazing benefits runners receive as part of the series. A runner will receive the best pricing possible by adding all the races to their initial DC Registration (same day purchase known a the "all in one"). However a runner may also chose whichever race registration they want to purchase at any time AFTER their initial DC registration purchase. ARC guarantees all DC runners will receive a discount on each race, however please note that each race's registration fee will increase in accordance to the actual race's price increase schedule.
After purchasing the Distance Challenge 2023-2024 registration, each runner will receive a confirmation email and subsequent "complete your race registration" for each race. It is the responsibility of each DC runner to complete those registration purchases via the Event Dog email link provided before each race's event date.
If a runner choses to forgo purchasing one, or more, of the 6 races during their initial check out they will have the ability to go back and purchase any remaining races at any point during the series. Those runners registered in the 2023-2024 Distance Challenge must log into their DC registration (on Event Dog) and add any remaining races to their purchase via the DC registration portal PRIOR to each relative race date.
First-time participants in Austin Distance Challenge, who have never been ARC members, receive their first year Austin Runners Club "Friend Membership Level" subsidized with the DC 2023-2024 registration.
Can’t make it to one of the races, or prefer to participate virtually, no problem! New this year we are offering our DC runners a virtual option. The only catch is, you will have to register for each event’s virtual race and once you default to a virtual event, you will not be eligible for the age group and overall awards.
You will still be eligible for the coveted Distance Challenge jacket and invited to the Finisher’s Celebration!
Want to help put on the Distance Challenge? We will be forming a Distance Challenge committee for the 2023-2024 year. Email Christie Curtis !
