Last Chance: Leatherman's Loop Lottery

Would-be Leatherman's Loop runners have until midnight tonight to register for the lottery—and a chance to run the mud-filled race in April.

If you've always thought about running the Leatherman's Loop—the trail race that runs through Ward Pound Ridge Reservation just across the CT border and can include waist-high water to wade through and mud so mucky it sucks shoes off—Monday's your last chance to sign up for the 2013 event.

All runner registration will be via Loop Lottery for the 27th Running of the Leatherman’s Loop on Sunday, April 21. The lottery opened Thursday and closes tonight at midnight. Once it is closed there will be no new lottery entrants accepted. 

To sign up, visit the Leatherman’s Loop website and follow links to the registration site. You'll need to enter your contact information and a credit card number that won't be charged unless you've secured a race bib for the race.

What happens after midnight?

Those who've secured a number—and those who haven't—will be notified via email. Organizers say there are more interested runners than spots, and some may be disappointed.

Visit the Loop website to see a list of frequently asked questions about the Loop Lottery. Visit the club site at sundayruns.org for information on training runs throughout the year.

Where DIDN'T you learn to write?? Jane Himmel May 22, 2013 at 01:27 pm "This has CONVINCED MYRead More GROWING CONVICTION that Patch has moved complete..."

I just called Staples. This is really disturbing to me. If I don't get a satisfactory answer, IRead More will let people know and I will also decide whether to continue shopping there. I do not like to give my money to unethical businesses.

This has convinced my growing conviction that Patch has moved completely away from any pretense ofRead More being a news source and is simply an electronic bulletin board. By abandoning their prior procedure of approving posts before they go up, they are letting anything go on and then taking them down if they're reported. By then, it's too late: the poster has gotten their message across during the time it's in the lineup. I only check in with Patch occasionally now and so many people in town won't read it at all anymore. I think we need to be honest with ourselves about what kind of a public forum this venue is. This doesn't reflect well on Staples if they are using subterfuge and violating Terms of Use on Patch either.

Tom, the tree warden doesn't just "put in trees and take them down" just like that. ThereRead More is a reason behind every tree that has come down or gone up. Whats with this town and trees anyway? It seems like a huge source of controversy...they are TREES.

if they had done it at night at least it wouldn't have been smudged. BUT, i happen to think itsRead More nice, and especially with the flags hanging. we forget we are a small new england town, and small things like the red white and blue stripes remind me that we still are! :)
