Hi Sam — I answer from the Silverpine 50 race guide and your registration. Anything I can't answer goes straight to the race team.
When is packet pickup?
Packet pickup is the Friday before race day, 2–7pm, at the start/finish area in Silverpine, Colorado. Bring photo ID — your bib, timing chip and shirt are in one bag. There's a race-morning window from 4:00 to 5:00am if you're travelling in late.

Can I defer my entry to next year?
Deferrals are the race team's call — the Silverpine 50 allows them for injury or illness, decided case by case. I'll pass this to the race team with your entry details, so you won't have to repeat yourself.

They'll see this conversation and your entry, so you won't have to explain it twice.
Where do crews park at High Meadow?
Crews park in the gravel lot 0.4 miles below High Meadow (mile 26.4) — about 40 spaces, first come. One vehicle per runner, with the crew pass from your packet on the dash. There's no crew access at Beaver Ponds.
