Is the 10k also a lottery? I keep considering it. I wish it was a half. It seems like a long way to travel for a 10k, but the cheering & GTG aspect is tempting.

Gaaaah now you guys are making me want to look into the 10k.

[hannahb]

I'm in!
I will say this. I'm not hell bent on doing this race and there's a small chance that we may give Ivf another chance. If someone really really wants this and didn't get in I will sell you my bib. Please just let me know

[shellfish26]

I'm in too!

Not yet - but there is still time, right? I'm just feeling pessimistic. Hello PMS.

It does take a long time to cross the Atlantic . Just pm me when you know.

[pinkpeony6210]

I'm not in yet, and for some reason, I'm not feeling too optimistic.

Me too. This is just like school. I was *always* picked last. It's pretty much why I have avoided team sports.

Will do and hey, don't feel like you have to give it up - there is a long time to think about it and I will not be upset if you keep it, okay? From what I have read, it is not difficult to pick one up - plenty of people seem to defer (which you could also do!)

[cinco]

I'm in! A 50k and 2 marathons in the Fall doesn't seem too crazy right? Lol. The 50k would involve lots of walking. More like a long hike. I can't believe I'm trying to reason this out.

I would totally pick you first for my imaginary relay team.

I was feeling the same way, and I JUST saw that my card was charged!  Keep the faith.

OKAY 10kers!

They finally updated the website mcmregistration.com/register/?event=35268

Registration is NOT a lottery (aka you get in, you get in) and it opens April 27th. I'll send out a reminder

How quickly does this sell out?

I need to time my telling DH I want to go to another H&F GTG this year   My birthday is 10/11, so this would be like a delayed birthday present to myself. Right?

[MrsE]

I'll join mrshandy in the cheering section! I'm still in my boot, so running is not happening at all right now, but I would love to help cheer everyone on during the race!

I would offer a place to stay, but we will likely (hopefully?) have moved by then and we are TBD on where that will be at the moment.

[katyintx]

Will someone educate me on the transfer process? Is it kind of like the Army Ten-Miler where people snatch up the bibs and re-sell them at a premium? Or if I do the transfer, do I have a shot of paying the "normal" entry fee?

And also, I'm sure it's on their website, but does anyone know off the top of their head when the transfers start?

I have alarms on my phone set for both 4/26 (Register TOMORROW!) and 4/27 (REGISTER!!!)

Not that I'm excited or anything. 

[stephm0188]

I'm out. I didn't get in. I don't want to risk waiting for bib transfer in June becuase it may be too late by then to transfer to the half for AF.

This sucks

When I transferred the last weekend you could do it, there were way more bibs than people to buy them. People were paying less than face value. I was willing to offer that but found someone to pay the full amount.

there is a fee though that you will have to pay. 

stephm0188, I know it's stressful, but I guarantee you will find a bib if you wait. I've never heard of someone not getting one that really wanted one.

stephm0188 , I know it's stressful, but I guarantee you will find a bib if you wait. I've never heard of someone not getting one that really wanted one.

agreed.  I didn't get in last year & bought one during the transfer.  It was pretty easy.

[shauni27]

Ok, as of right now I'm thinking 10k, since I can register in April. Even if I don't run it, I'm planning to come down and stay with cousins and cheer everyone on and do meals, etc, for that weekend.

Unless I am majorly pregnant (ha!) or doing a treatment that weekend.

Otherwise, I'm fucking there, 10k style.

[cole]

YAYAY shauni27!!!

So it's basically whatever someone wants to charge me for their bib, plus the transfer fee is what I'd pay?
