Please read the Planet Ultra Information page, including all ride rules, before signing up for an event.
Planet Ultra rules will be strictly enforced, including time limits.

 
Important! Please Read Everything!

• Registration is generally available online via active.com; or, if you want to avoid the fees associated with these online services, by clicking the blue buttons below for our download-able, type-able, pay-by-check mail-in form.

NEW!  DOUBLE CENTURY REGISTRATION fees are $100, HOWEVER, take advantage of our EARLY BIRD SPECIAL and save $15 by registering four weeks before the event! Both active.com and mail-in registration ends two weeks before the event. Thereafter, you may make an email reservation by sending us your name, address, telephone number, email address, birth date, and the event you want to enter. Riders exercising this email reservation option must bring their completed application and $120 cash to rider check-in. Anyone who makes an email reservation and then fails to show loses the privilege of making such reservations. In addition, they will be denied entry to other Planet Ultra events until the no-show event registration fee is fully paid.

CENTURY REGISTRATION fees are $65 (except for Solvang's Finest Century, see below) up until two weeks before the event. That date is also the cut-off for postmarking an entry. Thereafter, you may make an email reservation by sending us your name, address, telephone number, email address, birth date, and the event you want to enter. If multiple distances are offered, be sure to tell us which you plan to ride. Riders exercising this email reservation option must bring their completed application and $85 cash to rider check-in. Anyone who makes an email reservation and then fails to show loses the privilege of making such reservations. In addition, they will be denied entry to other Planet Ultra events until the no-show event registration fee is fully paid. The entry for Solvang's Finest Century is $90, and includes a t-shirt, a delicious all-you-can-eat post-ride buffet, and a donation to Challenged Athletes Foundation.

• We ride rain or shine.

• All entrants are required to sign the Accident Waiver (on the entry form) before beginning the event. The waiver may not be modified in any manner.

• Entries are non-transferable.

• Entry fees are non-refundable. However, if you must withdraw from a single-day event (due to an emergency or other unforeseen circumstances) and you contact Planet Ultra via email at least a week prior to the event in which you are registered, we will send you a ride credit for one half of your entry fee to an event of your choosing in the following 12 months. Exception: No rollover ride credits for either Solvang's Finest Century, which is a fundraiser for Challenged Athletes Foundation, or for Angeles Crest, due to the restricted rider limit. Further rollover ride credits and/or volunteer ride credits may not be used for either Angeles Crest Century or Solvang's Finest Century. Click here for our multi-day Tour cancellation policy.

• Volunteer ride credits, roll-over ride credits, gift certificates/award coupons and ride vouchers must be redeemed within the early registration period, and cannot be used for email reservations. Awards coupons or ride vouchers are same as cash - if you lose them, they're gone. Coupons must be sent in with the registration form.

• Late Registration closes the Tuesday prior to the event at 5pm. No exceptions. Please don't call or email us begging to get in.

• There is no registration at the event. You will not be allowed to ride unless you have pre-registered - meaning your name is on the event roster on the website - or you have a confirmed email reservation.

• There will be no mailing via postal service of any info, results, or entry confirmation before or after the event, nor email confirmation of your entry before the event. This is an Internet-based organization, so you must have web access to confirm your presence on the event roster prior to the event and/or to view results and images after the event.

• Please read our Information Page by clicking here. Everything you need to know, including event rules, is on that page. Please note that the time limit for each event will be strictly enforced. No exceptions.

DISASTER POLICY: If an act of God/Terrorism/Community Disaster occurs, preventing the event from happening, what actions are taken?
1. The event will be cancelled and riders notified as quickly as possible.
2. Affected riders will have first right to sign up for that event next year.
3. Financial: Planet Ultra cannot accept the risk of a disaster for everyone. Each rider needs to accept the risk of losing his or her entry fee. There will be NO REFUNDS or free entries to other future rides. Entry fees are spent in advance to prepare for the event.

• Planet Ultra reserves the right to cancel an event for any reason. If an event is cancelled for reasons other than a disaster/act of god/terrorism, Planet Ultra may refund entry fees, or provide a ride voucher to each registered rider.

Planet Ultra and the Challenged Athletes Foundation

The official charity of all Planet Ultra events is the Challenged Athletes Foundation. One of the goals of our events is to raise awareness of, and funds for, this organization. Please donate to CAF when you sign up for a Planet Ultra event. Better yet, dedicate your cycling effort at the Planet Ultra event of your choice and become a fund-raiser on behalf of CAF. If you do, you can set up your own secure CAF webpage and you'll get a lot of promotional and organizational support from both CAF and Planet Ultra.

The Challenged Athletes Foundation was created on the belief that people of all abilities should have the opportunity to pursue a life full of physical activity and of sports. Be they recreational or in pursuit of a gold medal at the Paralympic Games, people with a physical disability are limited only by their access to funding. Click here to find out what you can do to help!

Please do NOT staple your check to the entry form!

Please Read This: The entry forms are Pdf files which open with Adobe Acrobat. Click the blue button, open up the form, type in your answers, THEN print it, sign it, and mail it to Planet Ultra with your check, payable to Planet Ultra Inc. Please TYPE your answers directly onto the Pdf page in your computer before you print it! No handwriting! You can also register for the events via credit card through Active.com.
