HPRS does not offer comp entries to runners who identify as "elite" or "professional."

While we appreciate the time and effort the fast kids put into their adventures, we also appreciate the time and effort everyone else puts in as well. We appreciate that the front runners certainly train hard and put in an immense effort to compete at their level, we also believe that for some of them it's also a matter of their "genetic gifts" and life choices. Every runner who attends a race has sacrificed much, has trained as much as their time allows, and deserves the same treatment regardless of what place they finish in.

Therefore, HPRS does not offer free entries to runner's simply because of their "status" or past performances. We ask that if you identify as an "elite," you refrain from sending us your "running resume," as it will be ignored. If you would like to acquire a discounted or complimentary race entry, we ask that you please see the next paragraph where giving back to, and being an active member of, our community is detailed.

If you really want a complimentary or discounted race entry, we respectfully suggest that you earn it.

The Human Potential Running Series has one of the most generous volunteer programs in our sport. By volunteering at an HPRS race, you'll earn $5-$15/hr in HPRS Race Credits.

Volunteer for a day of trail work with HPRS and earn an immediate comp entry to a future race!

Volunteers are the backbone of any successful event, and we much prefer rewarding those who give back, by reimbursing them for their time. As a volunteer you are also choosing to be an active and supportive member of our community, something we value at the utmost.

The HPRS Community Fund was created as a way for members of the HPRS community to share the magic of trail and ultramarathon running with those in communities we see few of at our events. It was also created as a way for members of our community who are experiencing financial hardship to still be an active member without having to worry about being able to afford the cost of admission. The Community Fund is funded by donated volunteer credits from members of our community who have decided to share their earned credits with others, rather than use them on their own running endeavors. It is also funded by those who have made financial contributions to HPRS specifically for the purposes of sponsoring explorers with a financial need. More simply put, this is Runners helping runners.

THE HPRS COMMUNITY FUND IS ACCESSIBLE TO

• Members of the BIPOC community
• Members of the LGBTQIA+ community
• Any runner under the age of 30
• Any runner 30 years of age or older who are experiencing financial hardship

While we welcome all who wish to participate in our events, we do not offer discounted race entries to athletes with disabilities/adaptive athletes.

If you wish to take on one of our challenges, we feel it would be a disservice to you if we treated you any different than able bodied athletes. Ultimately, by accepting the challenge we have presented you, we expect that you are willing and able to accept all that comes with that challenge. We will do our very best to provide any reasonable accommodation(s) that allows you to take on our challenges, while keeping the essence of our race series in tact. Please just reach out and have a thoughtful discussion with us about how we can best support you. 

We will provide complimentary guide entry to any guide you may need in order to accomplish your goal safely. For Example: If an athlete with visual impairment would like to utilize the services of a guide for one of our races, the guide will be provided a complimentary race entry in order for them to assist you. Your guide must stay with you at all times on the course. Yes, your guide needs to register whether they are paying or not. We just ask, again, that your guide stay at your side throughout.

HPRS has partnered with a number of running groups both locally and on the national level. Part of that partnership is affording groups a discount off of HPRS race registration fees in exchange for the group's leadership promoting participation in HPRS events as either a runner and/or as a volunteer. The more success a group's efforts are, the more we raise the discount provided. To discuss how your group can partner with HPRS, please email us at [email protected]
