Important Deadlines and Times

​

Wednesday, August 19:   Last day to register and (i) get the special discount for previous Billygoat t-shirts you've earned, and (ii) be assured of getting a t-shirt (we have to place the shirt orders the next day). 

​

Monday, August 31 (midnight):    Registration closes for both the Billygoat and Pygmy Goat.  (If you want to register after this date, contact the meet director at wrdewitt@snet.net. There is a good chance we'll be able to add you in, but no guarantees.)

​

Sunday, September 6, 9:00 AM:    Check-in desk opens. Sign the waiver, and verify your info (e.g., SI number) is correct.

​

Sunday, September 6, 11:00 AM:  Start of the 42nd Billygoat (mass start). The Pygmy Goat will start at the same time. There will be a walk to the start, so be prepared well before this.

​

​

Registration Fees

​

We're doing a slightly modified fee arrangement this year. If you are an adult (over 20 years old day of race), and assuming you register and pay before the 8/19/20 deadline, your Billygoat registration fee will be $30, minus $1 for each Billygoat t-shirt you've earned in the past, to a minimum of $0. So your registration fee will be between $0 and $30, depending on the number of shirts you earned previously.

​

For juniors (20 or younger day of race), your fee will be $20, minus $1 for each Billygoat t-shirt you've earned. (Again assuming you register and pay before the 8/19/20 deadline).

​

We'll provide a link on the registration page where you can check how many Billygoat t-shirts you've earned in the past.

​

For the Pygmy Goat, the registration fee is a flat $20.

Miscellaneous Information

​

As usual, you must finish within 3 1/2 hours to earn a Billygoat t-shirt. And as always, this is strictly enforced. You can take longer to complete the course, but without a t-shirt.

​

The major Billygoat traditions will be in effect, most notably (i) a skipped control (i.e., you may skip one control of your choosing), (ii) there will be a forked control (i.e., at some point in the course you go to one of two options, your choice), and (iii) following is explicitly allowed.

​

The Billygoat course will be somewhere in the neighborhood of 13 km long, with the shorter Pygmy Goat being around 7 km long. 

​

The course setter this year is Niels Lyng-Olsen; meet director is Rick DeWitt. If you have any questions, contact Rick at wrdewitt@snet.net.
