I can't promise you a shirt will be waiting for you on race day. The sooner you register, the better your chances, since we need to get the order to the shirt printer.  We will, however, order you a shirt and have it available to pick up in Waitsburg later.

Discounts:
  • Dayton-Waitsburg students/staff and TF/CC athletes:  We offer a $2 discount for students and staff from both Dayton and Waitsburg schools, and for all track and cross country athletes and coaches.
  • Families: Families of 3 or more get a $2 discount per person.
  • You can take both discounts!
  • (Please be honest when applying discounts.  Our goal is for you to have a great day, whether you finish first or last. So if you need it to be cheaper, we'll make it happen.  On the other hand, we are trying to raise some money.)
Payment:  We can accept checks or cash only.  Please make checks payable to "Dayton High School." 

Registration:


  • On paper registration forms: PDF and MS Word.  Mail them, with payment, to: Touchet River Run, c/o Dan Nechodom, Preston Hall Middle School, Waitsburg, WA 99361.  If it's past the Friday before, just bring them with you. (If these files give you grief, just email us at rd@touchetriverrun.com, and we'll send one right out to you.)

    OR
  • Fill out this online form, then pay and sign a waiver when you get there.  If you register here, we'll reserve a shirt for you on a first come (click?), first served basis. If you pay for a shirt and there isn't one available, we'll put it in on our second order.
 
Food afterward: Our excellent local eateries serve a variety of fine foods and most will be open on Memorial Day. Many of of them are listed at: http://www.historicdayton.com/food


Shirt Design: A big shout out to Anne North at Creative Designs in Walla Walla, WA!  She does great work on our shirts, taking each year's design from a simple idea to a nice finished product. The finished 2022 shirt will look great.
