Does anyone remember what time in-person registration opened up on Monday last year after IMC? I’ve heard 9am and I’ve heard 1pm. I need to figure out how much time to allow on Monday, to sign up for 2010 (before catching a flight home). I’m not racing this year, so I can’t register on Sat.
Thanks
it definitely wasn’t 1pm, I know that much. It might have been 8am, can’t remember exactly what time they started letting people in to get the registration papers. I think it was around 7am that we got in line.
If you can, volunteer and that will get you into the express line that morning.
I can’t remember the exact time, but it was AM. Volunteer and you get to skip the to the front of the line. I drove the sag wagon, slept in the car right near the expo site and was awoken by the line up as it snaked past my vehicle. I walked down to starbucks, grabbed a coffee, and then sauntered past about 500 people in my volunteer tshirt to the front of the line.
I joined the lineup at around 5:45am and was all done around 10am. So 4 hours or so should cover it.
Volunteers do get priority and probably saves 30-45 minutes, the lines move really quick once the tables open.
I think the park actually opens between 8-9am, guess it depends on how benevolent the organizers are, seemed like the started a bit early last year. So you get a change of scenery while you wait in a different spot.
I seem to recall it shutting down pretty early… Definitely before 12:00 and possibly by 11:30. I got several calls from various friends who were waiting in line but didn’t see me, urging me to get my ass down there so I could sign up. Sadly, I didn’t quite make it in time…
