Subject: Which IM races do NOT sell out......

....in the first 15 minutes or first day.

I am hoping to be ready for my first IM at the latter half of next year or early 2013 and after seeing IM NYC sellout in 9 minutes and hearing IMLP sells out within a half hour I was wondering what other North American IM's dont sell out immediately other than IMKY (which I heard was open till Feb)......just wondering what my options will be if I am not fast enough on the computer registration day....thanks

IMFL took about 2 hours to sell out this year.
IMWI took 20 minutes
I don't believe IMKY ever sold out
IM St George took some time


If it's not "IM" but 140.6 you're looking for:

B2B didn't sell out
Seems some of the REV3 races take a couple months to sell out.

IMKY has sold out every year....but not for about 3 or 4 months.

 TO add the new one in canada  IMMT is not sold out

IM cozumel,, doesn't sell out for a few months bassed on last years race

I think IMTX is also still open a month after registration opened.

On a related (hijacking) note... is there anyway to tell how full a WTC race is before it sells out.

Before it sells out, <100%.

Other than that, I think the only way to tell is to email each race director individually.

thanks for feedback....looks like other than a couple races I will have to take a leap of faith and hit the computer early to get into a race...I live in northeast so IM NYC, LP is most obvious but they sell out fast, I think IMKY would be the next in line for me....I better start hydrating for that one now just in case!

Depends on the RD.  One time (2007 or 08) I emailed the RD to get a feel for how full IMKY was and he emailed me back and said "I expect it to sell out within a week".  I think it actually stayed open a few more weeks but it got me off the dime and I signed up.

IMMT should be pretty close too, and it still hasn't sold out.  Course looks crazy nice!

Vineman  near Santa Rosa CA (non branded) full distance also tends to not sell out at all.

I'm sure the OP is only interested in races where you become a real Ironman when you finish...

If you decide which one you want to do, volunteer for it in 2012 and then show up the next day in the volunteer line to register for it in 2013. I believe you are pretty much guarranteed a spot that way.
