Looking Back At 2020

Changing Times Requires Changing Strategies

The year of 2020 was a year full of challenges and frustration for many runners, race directors, timers, sponsors, and the like. Our organization was no different; but from early on, we made a commitment to finding solutions rather than sitting in our sorrows. We wanted to be an organization that tried to find the positive and create opportunities for our great running community.  Although, our events calendar looked different in 2020 than we expected, we were excited to be able to produce 5 live races and time 7 live races across 2 states. Our team of staff worked tirelessly to come up with safe racing strategies to bring real events back to our region. We are excited and optimistic for 2021. We know that races are unlikely to be filled with huge after parties and 10,000 person start lines in 2021, but we feel confident that small to mid-sized races will happen in 2021 as they did in 2020. Our commitment is to continue to innovate and keep runners, staff, and volunteers safe. We will persevere together and continue to support one another!

Event Overview

Run Your Ash Off!

May 18, 2020 marks the 40th anniversary of the historic Mt. St. Helen’s eruption (side note- probably the 40th anniversary of the last time face masks were widely worn in the PNW also). Negative Split has created special 40mile run challenge in honor of this event.  Our last challenge was so popular and successful at giving back thousands of dollars to small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic, that we are continuing that effort. A portion of all registrations will go back to small businesses locally!

You’ll Get

  • Awesome Finisher Shirt
  • Satisfaction of helping small businesses

Race FAQs

Registration

Registration includes t-shirt and the gratitude of helping local small businesses in this unprecedented time! Proceeds from each registration goes directly back into the community of Spokane that you nominate! Complete your miles by June 17, 2020

40 miles in 10 consecutive days

40 miles in 10 consecutive days by a team of 2

Race Cost: $35 (per person)

How it works:

Rules:
1. No ellipticals or bikes

You will have 10 (consecutive) days to complete the 40 mile challenge.

Step 1: Start running and working your way up to the 40 miles

COVID-19 UPDATES

VIRTUAL RACE CENTER

COVID 19 has had a major impact on the running and event industry and has forced changes to several of our events. We thank our runners for their patience and support during this unprecedented time. Our goal is to be as transparent as possible with our runners in the planning process for events that have changed. Our top priority is the safety of our participants, volunteers and staff. Please see below for information regarding date changes and updates to our events. The race status indicated will be used (green= on schedule with mitigation strategies, yellow = uncertainty about the race and waiting on more info, red = live race is cancelled). Additional information about options as a participant can be found on this page.

COVID-19 FAQ

We are allowing free transfers from any of the above events to another event for individuals that are not able to attend the newly scheduled date. All three of these events are top notch events and provide a wonderful participant experience.  We request that participants only switch events if they are unable to attend the newly scheduled date of the original event they registered for. Shirts, medals, and other items have already been ordered in excess for these events based on our early forecasts. If we have a large number of runners transferring from one event to another just based on personal preference it may strain the projected forecasts of shirts and medals. To transfer from one race to another follow these instructions: https://help.runsignup.com/support/solutions/articles/17000062923-transfer-to-another-race

If you are signed up for multiple events and transferring to a new event is not an option as indicated above, then we have also setup virtual event options where you can still participate remotely and be able to interact via social media and posting of your results to the “virtual” race. You will still be able to earn your shirt and medal! To select the virtual event option you will need to transfer into the virtual event on our race registration platform.  Follow these transfer instructions here: https://help.runsignup.com/support/solutions/articles/17000062922-transfer-to-another-event

If you are unable to attend any of the new event dates, then you still have the option to earn your medal and shirt by participating in the event virtually.  This feature still allows for interaction via social media and posting of your results. To select the virtual event option you will need to transfer into the virtual event on our race registration platform.  Follow these transfer instructions here: https://help.runsignup.com/support/solutions/articles/17000062922-transfer-to-another-event

At this time we are not offering refunds. This situation has been difficult and challenging for everyone. We sincerely wish that we were not confronted with having to change our events. Our organization is putting forth our best effort to make the most of this situation, turning lemons into lemonade. We are trying to provide multiple options for participants to still have a great experience. We believe in our running community and believe at the end of all this, we will need a reason to come together at these events and celebrate.  Negative Split has partnered with many community non-profits that help provide volunteers and resources to our events and we want to still be able to support these great causes. These three events are comprised of about $250,000 in expenses, most of which have already been paid for.  As much as we wish refunds were an option, they would likely sink the ship that supports so many community programs in our region.

You will still receive the merchandise you purchased at your event! We are also working on launching an online store for those of you that were looking forward to purchasing and trying on merchandise at our spring events. We will soon have the option to purchase online.

Due to the fast changes and all the moving parts planning these new event dates, we will not be able to offer a premium package at these new events. The price of the premium entry fee will be refunded since we will not be able to provide this on these new dates. We will send you a link to our online store in the near future if you still wish to purchase the premium gear without the rest of the experience items.

Participant safety is our first priority and we will be implementing several new measures to help make our events more safe for runners and spectators.

All three events will be held at their normally scheduled spring dates in the 2021 calendar year (unless some other world pandemic takes place). We anticipate opening registration for the 2021 events in September and October of this year.
