Running - 2012 Mt. Ashland Hill Climb Run registration to begin 20 March

I recently received an email from the organizers of the Mt. Ashland Hill Climb Run announcing that registration would begin this year on 20 March, earlier than before.  The field has been expanded to 360 runners, up from 300 last year.

I've written about running this straight uphill 13+ mile trail run in 2010 and 2011, and other interested runners asked me to alert them when registration opened,  You may consider this your alert.

As is traditional, the race takes place the first Saturday in August (4 August 2012).

Since it's my business, let me remind you that you should book your hotel rooms now, because August weekends in Ashland are about as high-season as it gets.
