Does anyone know the best way to sign up for the AZ Ironman in 2010? It sells out fairly quickly online so I was thinking of either volunteering or going out and watching it... I think you can sign up on the spot. Any details would be greatly appreciated. thanks

I'm from San Francisco so I am looking for the easiest surefire way to sign up!

Yes, if you go volunteer, you get the chance to sign up for the race.  Its probably the most guaranteed way to get your spot.  I use to live in Tempe, if you want a local views of what to do out there, PM me.  Good luck.

I'm going out to volunteer. I suspect the race will end up with at least a few hours of online registration though. (Every other Ironman-branded race has this year.)

Here is the info from their web site on signing up:

Athletes participating in the current year's event will be able to sign up on Saturday from 9AM-11AM. General registration begins Monday from 7AM-9AM, volunteers will have priority in line over general entries.

If there are spots left over after onsite registration is complete, they will open on Active.com at 12PM local race site time.

So you could come out and not volunteer and sign up. But, if you are going to be there anyway, why not volunteer? I figure it I will get a better idea of how an Ironman race feels as a volunteer than as a spectator. Plus, it should be fun. :D

The only surefire way is to show up. As far as selling out online, there is no current accurate historical record. 2010 will be the first november imaz where there were not two prior races were open for entry and where the full price had to be paid at signup (vs getting a confirmation number). If I were a betting man, and I am, I bet you will be fine on line

Don't trust Chris...he's just increasing his odds by lulling you into being less competitive at registration.

It isn't, you got lucky being one of the few that got in that way.  Being on site was the best/easiest way to guarantee the slot.

Best of luck to all the people who got in and have a great training season!
