Where Does your Money go?

It has always been the goal of the race directors of the LSU to provide a high quality race at a reasonable cost to racers. This includes the "famous rock", a jacket, a photo, awards, breakfast and of course the great aide stations along the route. We thought it would be a good idea to let you know how your race entry money is spent. Following is a breakdown of where the dollars went based on one entry fee:

Rock $40.00,Tech Clothing $40.00,Breakfast $13.00,Rentals $17.00
Aid Station $10.00,Volunteer shirts $5.00,Prizes $5.00,Photo $6.00

Misc. Expenses $4.00

Total per Racer $140.00

We will continue to work to maintain the tradition of this great race at a reasonable cost. Thank you for supporting our race.

LSU Offical Race Hotel - Lethbridge Lodge- call 1-800-661-1232 and ask to reserve a room under the Lost Soul Ultra.

Private Land - north of Pavan

Please refrain from running on the course north of Pavan Park. The LSU course travels through private land, we have permission to cross during the race, but we don't any other time. We would hate to lose the privilege. Thanks RD.

Entry fees are non-refundable, but if you cancel before midnight on July 13th we will give you half of your entry fee back. Any time after this date the fee is 100% non-refundable.
