We understand that not everyone is cut out or ready for the CRUEL JEWEL 100, so for these runners we are offering a 50 mile option. To enter this race runners must be committed and responsible for securing their own transportation back to their vehicle. We will NOT be supplying a shuttle from Vogel State Park (the finish) back to Camp Morganton (the start). All runners must come with a crew or have made arrangements to get back to their vehicle. Once again ALL RUNNERS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SECURING THEIR OWN TRANSPORTATION BACK TO THEIR VEHICLE.
 
 

We understand that there wasn't much notice or time to prepare for the 2013 running of the CRUEL JEWEL 100, so this year we will be entertaining requests form runners who have not completed a qualifiying race. If you did not completed a qualifying race in 2012/13 and feel you are qualified contact the race director.
