The entry fee for the 2014 Great Race from Maine to Florida was announced several months ago, but the time to get a $500 discount is running out.

The private entry fee for the 2014 Great Race is $5,000 and the corporate entry fee is $6,500. But if you pay a $2,000 deposit before the end of the day on Sept. 30 you can get a $500 discount on either of those fees. For example, if you pay a $2,000 deposit by Sept. 30 and the balance of $2,500 by Dec. 31, you will get the $5,000 private entry fee for only $4,500. For the corporate entry fee, you can pay a $2,000 deposit by Sept. 30 and the balance of $4,000 by Dec. 31 and you get the $6,500 corporate entry fee for $6,000.

Corporate entry fees can carry sponsor or business signage on the vehicle, and they run at the front of the field each day during the event.

Also, a $1,500 X-Cup entry fee is available for youth teams, but there is no discount available.

We will take a credit card for the deposit or you can mail a check as long as it is postmarked by Sept. 30. Please call Raime Brown at 423-648-8573 with your credit card or mail your check to the Great Race, 1317 Chestnut St., Chattanooga, TN 37377.
