Lottery #1: Friends of the Park The first lottery will consist of five (5) available spots. Applicants must bring a $50 deposit, and either a check, cash or pledge in any amount greater than the $200 race entry fee. Each of the applicants will be ranked according to the size of their pledge. The applicants with the five (5) largest pledge amounts will be selected. All monies pledged beyond the $200 entry fee will be used for Pioneer Park improvements. Those that are not chosen will be automatically entered into the second lottery (with their $50 deposit) and refunded their pledged amount.

Lottery #2: Standard Entry A $50 Deposit (cash/check) is required. All those interested will be entered in a lottery style drawing. The first 25 applicants selected will qualify for this year’s race. Upon selection, the $50 deposit will become non-refundable. All remaining applicants will be drawn and placed upon a waiting list in the order in which they were selected. Those on the waiting list will be refunded their $50 deposit. Teams choosing to enter the lottery multiple times will risk losing their deposits if chosen more than once. Each team that is selected will be required to pay the remaining $150 of their entry fee in either cash or check (payable to NC Chamber) within two weeks. Failure to submit complete payment will result in disqualification and loss of initial $50 deposit.

Applicants are not required to be present at the registration event. Deposits and lottery application may be delivered in advance to the Nevada City Chamber of Commerce during normal business hours or submitted at the registration event.

Matteo’s Public will be donating 15% of any food and beverage purchases made between 2pm and 6:30pm on January 29th to benefit the Pioneer Park Project. Please arrive hungry and remember to tip your server! Thank you!
