ATRA socks are still available:
If you are interested in having your own pair of ATRA socks...send a check for $15 (includes shipping) to: ATRA, PO Box 9454, Colorado Springs, CO 80932 - we'll ship a pair out to you -- they are Core-Spun CoolMax socks proudly made in Colorado and in lovely packaging from the manufacturer (Save Our Soles by Colorado Knitting Company). On the instep they have American Trail Running Association imprinted. They are super comfy and black for those of us who love to run on trails and hate to wash whites! We're hoping to use this as an ATRA fundraiser! If you want to buy two pairs -- send another $10 for the second pair since we only have to pay once for shipping. Just let us know which size you'd like and we'll ship them out and...included with your order, a free ATRA bumper sticker!

ATRA Race Standards
In 2012, the ATRA Board of Directors introduced its labeling program which includes 15 event standards and is meant to serve as a guide for race directors to help them through the planning and execution of their event. Additionally, race participants can use the standards as an educational tool. The event standards are a good complement to our Rules on the Run publication which covers trail etiquette. Our goal with this program is to educate and support events. We look forward to working with you to make this a worthwhile and successful program.

The event in question adheres to ATRA standards outlined at this link. In summary, the event is safe, has an accurately measured and marked course, provides timely results and awards, abides by entry limits (either self imposed or externally imposed - such as U.S. National Parks or USDA National Forest, etc.), has obtained the necessary permits and insurance, is environmentally friendly to the land, and describes event details in an entry booklet / brochure and/or website and/or email blasts.
To include the ATRA label for your event(s), follow these steps:
STEP 1: Review the standards here,
