How to Make Our S#!T List!
We cannot under any circumstances have people running under another person’s bib number as they are not insured to do so. This is not anarchy! We have rules, people! Bandit runners put race permits in jeopardy for future years. Only the actual runner carrying a piece of photo ID will be issued the bib number.

Your bib is for you and you alone. If you check in to receive your bib and then pass it on to another runner you are sanctioning a course bandit who is not covered under our insurance policy. Both you and this course bandit will be banned from all future Coast Mountain Trail Running events.

Thank you for your understanding and adherence to our race policies. We look forward to seeing you on race day!
