WHAT IS THE CLOT TROT?

The Clot Trot was started by Aaron Smith, from the Tri-Cities area of Washington in 2008. The event began as his Eagle Scout service project and has grown into a grassroots community event building awareness for hemophilia. This event was created by a hemophilia family that has contributed to the advancement of hemophilia research for many years. The Smith family actively serves and participates in the hemophilia community; including volunteering as counselors at hemophilia summer camps and dedicating much of their time to the bleeding disorder community.

We appreciate your many years of support of the Clot-Trot and your generous donations that go toward hemophilia research and supporting the bleeding disorders community. The Clot-Trot is one of our highlights each year, as we show support for individuals and families with hemophilia and other bleeding disorders

Awards After the Race: Check the Negative Split website on your phone at www.nsplit.com/results, or the paper copies posted at the picnic shelter, to see if you placed in your age group or were one of the top 3 overall men or women and you can collect your award after the race at the picnic shelter where you picked up your packet. Please give us a little time after the race to have your award ready for you, so you have plenty of time to stow your gear after the race before picking up your award. Awards are race glasses that will NOT be mailed. If you miss the pick up after the race you will need to contact Eric at sageg@charter.net to arrange a pickup time for your award.

Special Considerations: Please note the following:

• Mountain bikes, ONLY. Athletes must use mountain bike frames with 26-29 inch wheels, and tires with a minimum 1.5 inch width (no road tires allowed) and have some sort of knobby, raised pattern that covers more than 50% of the tire surface. So that means the slick portion of the tire is less than 50% of the tire surface.

• We will also have a special GRAVEL BIKE division, with the top 3 overall men and women each receiving an age group type award. Gravel bikes will NOT be included in the overall or age group awards.
