We're posting this update to let everyone know that we're still alive, that there wil be an Across the Years race at Nardini Manor in 2007, and that work is ongoing in making preparations.
It will be a few weeks before there is much more to say. Best estimates are that registration will open somewhere around the end of May or early June. There will be an approximately two-month window of opportunity for everyone who wishes to be in the race to register. Previous runners and subscribers to the Ultra list will be given advance notice of the registration starting date.
Some people will be admitted automatically and others will be subjected to a lottery. The ATY organizers do not intend to publish the criteria of its randomized lottery process, because we believe there is no such thing as "fair" in these matters, and because in posting some arbitrary set of selection "rules" we would thereby become subjects for criticism and suggestions on how we could make it "better." Think of ATY as basically an invitational, where some persons will be invited at random among those requesting entry.
There will be no need to rush to register. Being among the first will not give anyone more of an advantage over someone who registers at the last minute.
