IMNA Races Change Entry Process

After reading this, I have come to accept the fact, no matter how frustrating it is, that the only way to ensure yourself a spot in an IM North American race is to show up in person to register the day after.

Boulder, CO - Over the past few years, entry spots to North America Sports full Ironman Races have become highly sought after by the triathlon community. In response to this NA Sports will be instituting the following process for entry to their full Ironman Races going forward.

Athletes entered in the event for the current year will be allowed to register for the next year's event the DAY BEFORE the current event. Entries will be accepted, on-site at the race site, from 9:00 am - 11:00 am, athletes will be required to present photo ID and their athlete wristbands at the time of entry. Athletes will only be able to register themselves.

General entry for all others will be made available, on-site at the race, from 9:00 am - 11:00 am, the morning following the race. Participants may register themselves at that time, they will not be able to register another person at any North America Sports event. ID will be required at the time of entry.

Entry spots remaining for general entry will be available via Active.com beginning at 12:00 noon, local race time. Subaru Ironman Canada has not typically had ANY spots available on-line and it is expected that this may become the case at some of the other NA Sports events as well in the future.
