The Forest Service allows us to use a five-year running average of 369. Historically, we have found that about 10% of those chosen in the lottery will not make it to the starting line due to injury, illness, or other "real life" interventions. So, we will typically choose about 400 runners total. This number will vary slightly from year to year, depending on where we are on the five-year average.
