Email July 2nd - Haunted Sunset 30 Miler Wait List

July 2, 2023

Happy 4th of July!  It’s hard to believe that summer is getting going with all the rain we’ve been getting in New England.  However, before you know it the leaves will be turning colors, pumpkins will become orange, and the ghosts and ghouls will be wandering the Ghost Train trails in the dinner time darkness.  We are excited to bring you another amazing weekend of running and fun in 2023!

You are on the wait list for the 2023 Haunted Sunset 30-Mile Race and hopefully your training is going well.  Questions about the wait list are very frequent this time of year.  Obviously, everyone wants to know if they are going to get in or not.  I hope this email brings some good news!

On July 4th, I will be adding 25 more spots to the Haunted Sunset 30-Mile Race, which will bring most of you into the race and off the wait list.  You can check where you are on the wait list by going to the UltraSignup waitlist page and clicking on the “30 Miler” link right below the picture.  Once these spots are added, you will get an email from UltraSignup where you will confirm that you want to get on the train!  Please reply to this email in a timely fashion.  There will only be 11 people left on the wait list, and I have a high confidence that you will all get in before race day.  Please keep training like you’re in!

If you haven’t visited our web site lately, we have continued to add information, including videos of the course, course records and participation dating back to 2009, and of course the handbook which covers all the questions you may have!  (Or at least I hope it does!). If you have questions please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at ghosttrainrace@gmail.com or post/comment on our Facebook page.  It is also noteworthy that because the Haunted Sunset 30-Mile Race is new, the winners will automatically have new course records. 

Volunteer signups will open by the end of July.  Please keep an eye out on Facebook and our web site for more information!  We couldn’t put on Ghost Train without our generous volunteers, so please consider asking a friend or family member to help with a shift.  They get a front row seat to the race when volunteering!

Have a great July and watch for another runner email in August.
