We are very sad to announce we have to cancel this year’s in person race due to unavoidable personal circumstances. If you have already registered, you will be receiving an email with instructions about either receiving a refund or transferring your registration to the virtual race.

If you haven't registered for either and still want to participate, the virtual race is an option, and you can still get a tshirt and medal by participating in that. You can register for it at TriStateRacer.com/virtualmothman

We know this is a big disappointment, as it is to us as well.
