Subject: Interesting new info re: Coeur d'Alene 09 and 10 I recently read this for anyone who was considering a charity slot for Coeur d'Alene 09 or easy registration for 10. Additionally, this year's Ironman 70.3 event in Boise will now offer entry into Ford Ironman Coeur d'Alene. The two Idaho-based races have partnered, allowing athletes an exclusive opportunity to gain entry into one of the most popular Ironman races in the world.
Participants in the 2009 Ironman 70.3 Boise will be able to register for Ford Ironman Coeur d'Alene immediately following the awards ceremony on June 13. There will be 25 slots available for the 2009 Coeur d'Alene event on June 21. There is no limit to the possible registrations for the 2010 Ford Ironman Coeur d'Alene. Event registration will be open only to athletes participating in the 2009 Ironman 70.3 Boise event.
"Coeur d'Alene has built a strong relationship with the triathlon community, as athletes visit the city to train on the course and return to the event year after year," said Ford Ironman Coeur d'Alene Race Director Andy Emberton. "We're pleased to support Ironman 70.3 Boise as the community develops that same relationship with the sport." So the Boise 70.3 folks will get a shot at 2010 Coeur d'Alene registration before the 2009 Coeur d'Alene 2009 finishers do. I know we have a bunch of BT ers going to the 70.3 Boise 09, so something to keep in mind. I may just bite on that one myself.
