Registration


Registration is closed

September 28 Update: Due to COVID concerns, the group dinners Friday and Saturday night, which were all scheduled to be indoors, have been cancelled.  However, the Hunt will go on.  The ride on Saturday will proceed as planned.  Participants will be responsible for their own meals, and there are numerous restaurant options in Dodgeville within 1-2 miles of the Don Q Inn, including a few who will deliver.

Because there is no banquet dinner to plan for this year, there will be no registration fees, however, we’re still asking that you RSVP so we have an idea of how many riders to prepare for.  Individuals who have already paid a registration fee will be issued refunds.  

Please mark your calendars and plan on joining us in southwest Wisconsin for the 26th annual Hunt for Red October ride. Once again, we will meet around noon on Saturday, October 10th at the Sparta Family Restaurant in Sparta, WI. After lunch, route sheets will be handed out and you will have your choice of several routes through some great southwestern Wisconsin roads, with our final destination being the Don Q Inn in Dodgeville, WI. 

3-Day Option: For those that can get away early and would like to make it a 3-day weekend, pick your own route and meet us at the Don Q Inn on Friday, October 9th. 

Lodging: The Don Q Inn in Dodgeville, WI will set aside a block of rooms for us at a special rate, but will only hold the rooms until September 9th, so get your reservations in early.

Food: For those coming in on Friday, there will be an informal pizza dinner at the Don Q Inn. The banquet dinner on Saturday will be catered at the Don Q Inn. Face masks will be required while in the serving line on Friday and Saturday night. Hand sanitizer will be available and must be used before entering the serving line(see update above)

Special Announcement Regarding COVID-19:
This year, some procedural changes will be required to help you feel more comfortable and safer while we are all under the threat of COVID-19. Wisconsin law currently requires masks or face covering to be worn in all buildings open to the public (like hotels) when other persons are present – except when eating or drinking. Please bring your own mask/face covering to use while you are in the Don Q or other public places in Wisconsin.

To create a safe and enjoyable event for everyone, all participants must agree to the following.

  1. Each person will be responsible for monitoring their own health. If you have a fever, coughing, shortness of breath, loss of taste or smell, fatigue, and/or body aches before attending the rally, please stay at home.
  2. You will use hand sanitizer and practice hand washing during the event and before every meal.
  3. SOCIAL DISTANCING and MASKS will be required while moving through the serving lines.
  4. The event plans and procedures are fluid and may change based on new requirements.

RSVP: Please RSVP by Thursday, October 8.  Because of the cancellation of the group dinners on Friday and Saturday night, there is no registration fee this year.  However, we still ask that you RSVP so we have a sense of how many riders to prepare for. 

Registration Fees: Online registration will close at 11:59 pm on Friday, October 2, 2020.
