Important! Please Read Everything!

• Registration is available online via OneStopRace.com. Via OneStopRace you can pay by credit card, or avoid online fees by selecting "pay by check" when you get to the Payment Option button. If you choose to pay by check, you must send your check in during the early registration period, or you will be charged a late fee at rider check in.

2012 DOUBLE CENTURY REGISTRATION fees are $105, HOWEVER, take advantage of our EARLY BIRD SPECIAL and save $15 by registering six weeks before the event! Online registration ends two weeks before the event. Thereafter, you may make an email reservation by sending us your name, address, telephone number, email address, birth date, and the event you want to enter. Riders exercising this email reservation option must bring their completed application and $125 cash to rider check-in. Anyone who makes an email reservation and then fails to show loses the privilege of making such reservations. In addition, they will be denied entry to other Planet Ultra events until the no-show event registration fee is fully paid.

2012 CENTURY REGISTRATION fees are $70 (except for Solvang's Finest Century and the Gran Fondo events in Nevada, see below) up until two weeks before the event. Thereafter, you may make an email reservation by sending us your name, address, telephone number, email address, birth date, and the event you want to enter. If multiple distances are offered, be sure to tell us which you plan to ride. Riders exercising this email reservation option must bring their completed application and $90 cash to rider check-in. Anyone who makes an email reservation and then fails to show loses the privilege of making such reservations. In addition, they will be denied entry to other Planet Ultra events until the no-show event registration fee is fully paid. The entry for Solvang's Finest Century is $95, and includes a t-shirt, a delicious all-you-can-eat post-ride buffet, and a donation to Challenged Athletes Foundation.

• We ride rain or shine.

• Entries are non-transferable.

• Entry fees are non-refundable. However, if you must withdraw from a single-day event (due to an emergency or other unforeseen circumstances) and you contact Planet Ultra via email at least a week prior to the event in which you are registered, we will send you a ride credit for one half of your entry fee to an event of your choosing in the following 12 months. After we approve your credit via email, you'll send us a self-addressed, stamped envelope and we'll send a credit coupon to you. Exception: No rollover ride credits will be offered for or used at either Solvang's Finest Century, which is a fundraiser for Challenged Athletes Foundation, or for Angeles Crest, due to the restricted rider limit. Neither do we accept volunteer credits for either event. Click here for our multi-day Tour cancellation policy.

• Volunteer ride coupons, cancellation ride credits, gift certificates/award coupons and ride vouchers must be redeemed within the early registration period, and cannot be used for email reservations. Ride coupons or ride vouchers are same as cash - if you lose them, they're gone. Coupons must be sent in with your online registration confirmation. Just select the pay by check option at the end of the online signup process.

• Late Registration closes the Tuesday prior to the event at 5pm. No exceptions. Please don't call or email us begging to get in.

• There is no registration at the event. You will not be allowed to ride unless you have pre-registered - meaning your name is on the event roster on the website - or you have a confirmed email reservation.

• There will be no mailing via postal service of any info, results, or entry confirmation before or after the event, nor email confirmation of your entry before the event. This is an Internet-based organization, so you must have web access to confirm your presence on the event roster prior to the event and/or to view results and images after the event.

• Please read our Information Page by clicking here. Everything you need to know, including event rules, is on that page. Please note that the time limit for each event will be strictly enforced. No exceptions.

DISASTER POLICY: If an act of God/Terrorism/Community Disaster occurs, preventing the event from happening, what actions are taken?
1. The event will be cancelled and riders notified as quickly as possible.
2. Affected riders will have first right to sign up for that event next year.
3. Financial: Planet Ultra cannot accept the risk of a disaster for everyone. Each rider needs to accept the risk of losing his or her entry fee. There will be NO REFUNDS or free entries to other future rides. Entry fees are spent in advance to prepare for the event.

• Planet Ultra reserves the right to cancel an event for any reason. If an event is cancelled for reasons other than a disaster/act of god/terrorism, Planet Ultra may refund entry fees, or provide a ride voucher to each registered rider.

Planet Ultra and the Challenged Athletes Foundation

The official charity of all Planet Ultra events is the Challenged Athletes Foundation. One of the goals of our events is to raise awareness of, and funds for, this organization. Please donate to CAF when you sign up for a Planet Ultra event. Better yet, dedicate your cycling effort at the Planet Ultra event of your choice and become a fund-raiser on behalf of CAF. If you do, you can set up your own secure CAF webpage and you'll get a lot of promotional and organizational support from both CAF and Planet Ultra.

The Challenged Athletes Foundation was created on the belief that people of all abilities should have the opportunity to pursue a life full of physical activity and of sports. Be they recreational or in pursuit of a gold medal at the Paralympic Games, people with a physical disability are limited only by their access to funding. Click here to find out what you can do to help!
