We have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Heck of the North. Due to current state guidelines, we simply cannot obtain the permits we need to run the event. We understand the reasons for these safeguards, and we are committed to promoting health among our riders, volunteers, and communities.

In the next few days, UltraSignup will email a query to each 2020 Heck registrant to select one of the following options:

Have your entry fee funded at 90% (the 10% will help cover costs and work time incurred so far this year and into 2021, as well as fees associated with refunds. Ultrasignup can only refund credit cards transactions that are fewer than 90 days old— all others will be issued by check and mail). We will also refund 100% of your tee shirt order.
Push your 2020 registration to 2021. This will reserve your spot at the same 2020 registration price.

All Flight registrants will automatically be refunded 90% of the remaining balance and 100% of the total tee shirt order.

Please make your selection before Tuesday, August 11, 2020, 11:59 pm. Those who do not respond by this date will automatically receive the 90% refund.

For those who have been gracious enough to offer their registration fees as donations to Heck of the North and Gravel for Good, thank you! UltraSignup’s refund process makes it difficult for us to accept your generous offer, so we will give you opportunities to donate to some exciting new projects next year.

In the meantime, please remember our amazing Sponsors when shopping in Duluth or the North Shore or Minnesota. We also have a cool new collection of Ride the Good Line hats, tees and accessories via our friends at Duluth Screen Printing. Check out the merchandise here.

We encourage you to Ride the Good Line with courage, wisdom and a healthy sense of humor this season. Thanks for your understanding and patience and hope to see you all soon.

Warmly,

Jeremy Kershaw and Family
