A JABOY* Lunacy Too Idiotic to Miss
Coyote Four Play continues to lope into your ultrarunning calendar. As we did last year, the event will be preceded by an informal, two day warm up scrub run (Tue & Wed, 2/20-21) of the Backbone Trail from Santa Monica to Pt Mugu State Park (a fat 100K total) followed by our standard fare C4P (7, 50, 40 & 32 miles). For the die-hards this is about 195 miles in 6 days (hell, just round up to 200?…., we can arrange that!!) We also have options on each day for fewer, gentler miles for those who want to spend time taking in the spectacular views, the signs of spring and the impending aid station cutoffs.
Click here for the application:
You
should know the drill by now: (1) first, send me the entry fee of
$275.00 (more than last year cuz it is our last year and we have one
extra piece of apparel; (2) complete the application below, including the demand
for artistic expression (read "special awards" for this); and (3) send it all in
with postmark not later than November 24.
NOTE this is a much earlier deadline to encourage your early commitment and
participation.
Entries received after that date run the risk missing the final version
of this insanity
For your dollar investment, you’ll receive three very fine pieces of apparel (1 Patagonia Jacket, 1 Patagonia Shirt & for the boys a pair of silk boxers and the girls a choice of the boxers or a halter top... sorry boys no halter for you.) If there is a newbie amongst us then a Bowling Shirt will be required and we will arrange for that purchase off line. You get 3 dinners out and a picnic at Point Mugu State Park on Sunday for the formal C4P days; other normal hospitality of the better ultras and our renowned, unparalleled aid station fare (that venison sausage at the top of Gridley, and burritos on the ridge!!); our normal complement of goofy prizes (more than ever this year); and some special entertainment you won’t find at any other ultra (hint: you get to be a part of it). You must bring your official C4P bowling shirt. For newbies, or vets who failed to order one initially, contact H’ard offline regarding your bowling shirt – if enough folks order one, we’ll get a price break; if not enough order, then we might have to get you one off the rack – either way, you’ll cough up some dough. Deal with it.
Finally, a one-shirt option
will save you even more bucks. The
Patagonia gear is awesome and you don’t want to miss out on this.
There will be a Program laying out event logistics, to be distributed sometime near the end of January. As in the past, however, much communication will be done thru e-mails beforehand (like, where to stay, etc).
Send your entry, and payable, to Howard Cohen, 4573 Via Grande, Newbury Park, CA 91320.
