The Lottery
Individual pre-registrations are now open and will remain open until midnight April 5, 2025. During this time, you can go to the web site and pre-register using your name, date of birth, gender, and email address. A UNIQUE EMAIL IS REQUIRED FOR EACH PARTICIPANT. YOU CANNOT USE THE SAME EMAIL FOR TWO OR MORE PARTICIPANTS. As an example: If you have one email address that you use for both husband and wife, you will need to use a different email address for one of you. You can pre-register multiple times using the same email address, but there is only one email address allowed per participant. Also, please use only one unique email per participant. Using two or more emails for the same person does not increase your odds of being selected, but it does make the accounting much more difficult. Each pre-registration requires a $12 fee. If you are selected in the random drawing, your registration fee will be $120.
Pre-registration closes at midnight April 5, 2025. Lottery winners names will randomly be selected from the pool of pre-registrants. An entrant, if selected in the lottery, may only receive one race registration spot, regardless of how many entries they have put into the lottery. Increasing your chances of winning using multiple emails does not legitimize the holding of two registration spots by one individual.
After pre-registration closes at midnight April 5, names will be randomly selected from those that have pre-registered. You can only be selected once, so if you did submit multiple pre-registrations, the other pre-registrations will be removed from the eligible pool of candidates once you have been selected.
On April 6, 2025 I will send out emails to all of the pre-registrants letting them know if they were selected, or if they are on the wait list.
If you are on the wait list you will be told what number you are on the list. Unfortunately, because of the popularity of the Lost Lake Run, there are very few registrations offered from the wait list.
If you are selected, you will be sent a registration link to the email address you provided. You will have until midnight April 10, 2025 to complete your registration process.
If there are some folks that do not complete the registration process by midnight April 10, those registrations will be offered to the waiting list.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give me a call, send a text, or drop me an email. If you call, please do this during business hours (8 am to 5 pm, Alaska Time).
Warm regards,
