BIG SHOULDERS 2025
XXXIV - A NEW AGE
XXXIV - A NEW AGE
The time has come to rethink how we at Big Shoulders Swim run registration. Yes, we are abandoning the March 1st Mad Dash! Beginning this year, we are upgrading our registration process.
Beginning in 2025, registration will be done on a lottery system. We will open registration for all who want to attend in Februrary. You will register, but your credit card will not be charged unless you are selected.
But, there are some exceptions. First, for those who have registered 5 of the last 10 years, you will be sent an email advising you that you will be permitted to register on a date certain for a limited period of time. Only those who match the 5 in 10 category will be able to use this feature.
Second, we are going to offer a relay option to the first 100 teams of 2 swimmers who will each swim a 2.5K, and "hand off" their timing ankle strap. If you don't want to risk the lottery, or just want to swim in the relay, that will be an option.
Finally, we'll offer a small number of slots for those who missed out, and don't mind making a donation to our beneficiaries for the chance to swim.
Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks.
