The Dipsea Race website, www.dipsea.org, has just posted instructions on how to enter the 100th running on June 13. The key dates are:

March 1--The deadline for previous year's runners to notify the Race of any mailing address changes. This is also the deadline for runners to request a mailed paper application.

March 15--Paper applications mailed.

March 16--At 4 p.m., applications will become available for printing on the Dipsea Race website. Completed applications, received by mail or printed online, should be returned that day as well.

April 1--Deadline for runners who earned 2010 Invitational status--by finishing among the first 450, or first 750 if from Open section, in 2009--to return their applications.

These procedures are unchanged from recent previous years. The entry fee, however, has risen, to $60 ($40 runners under age 16).
