When does registration usually open for the next years Ironman AZ? I understand that volunteers and current participants get to sign up the day after, but when does it usually open up to the general public?
Thanks
The day after the race, at noon Arizona time.
and sells out at 12:00:15
.
Current participants sign up on Saturday, the day before the event. Volunteers and general public on-site sign up on Monday, the day after the event. Then it goes online, if any slots remain.

Hey guys,
I am planning to register to IMAZ.
Already saved the 12PM MST +/- 30minutes on my schedule to register.
Already have all the form answered in a .doc that I can easily copy and paste.
Is that difficult to get a spot?
What is your second choice? 
Doesn’t anyone know how the search function works?
I got in last year online. I am afraid this year there are way more volunteers who are planning on registering on Monday morning then in the previous years. But if you do get in the cue on Active don’t give up. Once you hit the registration button and it allows you to start your registration you have a proverbial spot in line. The system often freezes so keep hitting the select button. Last year I almost gave up. If you want to better your chances log in on two computers at the same time. Good luck I am racing so I will be getting my spot for next year on Saturday.

Doesn’t someone know how to look at the date of posts?? This was posted before the one you linked
Chris you hit the nail, sold out before it started. This is BS, Some of us actually have jobs, important ones that prevent us from traveling to AZ just to enter. And just because a person has an important job does not mean money is no object. This system is broke big time, Challenge or another competitor will rise. Yes sell out does speak volumes but it has also prevented me from some 70.3’s because of their policy. IM probably does not care they got XXXX registrations at $725. The refund program is nothing more than an insurance scam.
