Anyone else sign up for Army 10 Miler in the fall?

[csquared]

Hooray! DH signed us both up (registration opened at midnight and I was long asleep). I've run it the last 2 years and LOVE it (other than the logistical failure last year). My best race to date. Hope to "see" some of you there!

Oh, I forgot registration was today! I'm signing up as soon as my friend confirms that she's running it!

I registered when I awoke this AM.

Yes, DH stayed up last night to register us. Given how quickly races are selling out around here lately, we didn't want to risk waiting.

I just checked the site, and it looks like it will probably be full by 9 am.

You better hurry. I think you literally probably only 10 minutes left before it closes.

Decided not to this year. I'm not local so it's a little trickier to get there, and the failures of last year left a bad taste in my (and DH's) mouth.

Dang, closed already!

[lightbulbsun]

My friend and I registered just before it closed. Yay!

I wish, i think next year we will, our base has a number of spots so we just request to be on the team.

we are thinking about doing the South Mountain 10 miler, but I am not sure i want to run 2 miles of that up a mountain.

I really want to some day do the USMC Run Amuck

aliciar6: they open registration to active duty service members before the general public. just an FYI for next year.

and a PSA for those who didn't get in: ATM allows bib transfers. if you want to run, start looking on the transfer boards in June. It took awhile, but I eventually got a registration (@ cost) last year from the transfer boards.

thanks ebeth, but i'm not active duty, i was NG, but I'm an Army DoD civilian, we work mainly on an R&D post, but since it is a military base we still have a Garrison command who puts in for a certain number of slots for the 10 miler every year for our base team, so we don't even have to go online to register.

this year i just didn't have time to do it. but i recall a few years ago trying to sign up and it was full with in a day.
