Lottery

In 2023, we will once again hold a “mini-lottery” as opposed to a full lottery. Most runners had rolled over their entries from the 2020 race for 2 years now, and were given an option to exercise their entry for either the 2022 or 2023 races. 76 of those runners have rolled their entries over into 2023. We will hold a “mini-lottery” in February 2023 to allocate up to 184 additional spots to fill the field for 2023.

There are very few people who qual­ify for spe­cial con­sid­er­a­tion, and their entries must still be received by the entry dead­line. These include:

  • An orig­i­nal-8 race founder (1989)
  • Top over­all male & female in all pre­vi­ous KKN­STRs (1989–present)
  • Run­ners who are going for their tenth or twentieth (or higher) KKNSTR finish
  • Pre­vi­ous KKNSTR race direc­tors (1989–present)
  • Active Knee Knacker com­mit­tee mem­bers who have served 2 con­sec­u­tive years on the committee
  • Volunteers/runners who have con­tributed sig­nif­i­cantly to the race or the sport
  • Major sponsor
