I am sure everyone has been getting the emails about this Thursday. I wanted to get a feel from everyone about who is signing up that day and how soon you think registration will fill up? It seems like each year this race is getting more national attention and is filling up more quickly. I will be registering Thursday morning, I have something to prove to myself out on that course this June and need to make up for a mild performance this year.

Any thoughts?

I'm doing it again.  Expect it will fill up pretty quickly.  Only took a few weeks the last couple years and it's getting more popular.  Additionally, it's the regional championship this year so that will attract a few extra. 

I'll say it sells out around Thanksgiving, but not taking any chances myself--signing up tomorrow.

Anyone else get a mix up with registration and only pay $135 for the OLY instead of $150?

the website did say $135 on the registration page, which suprised me, but when I got the email receipt it said $150 (plus the $10 processing fee)...dagnabit.

I checked that too... it came up $135 + $9.30 for processing.

I guess I should drop them an email to avoid any problems down the road. I thought I was just getting a $15 discount because I'm a nice guy Laughing

I signed up for the Oly this morning. It'll be my first Oly!

For the record, I paid the $150 plus the processing fee which I think was $10ish.

It looks like a lot of the people who have signed up so far are running the Oly. 1,200+ less than 24 hours later. I don't know what the cap is, but I would imagine around 2,250 based on the amount of participants they had last year in both events combined.

This is going to be a fun race!

if you want to do the race it would be prudent to sign up now. no telling for sure when it will be full.

 I'm not sure what the cap is, but I'm seeing nearly 1,400 people signed up for the Oly as of 11/6. You'll see this if you look in the drop down box under Search Roster data, not the Search Registration Data (which for some reason is showing just over 250 like you said).

 I'd definitely sign up soon if you're on the fence.
