The event is now FULL and a Waitlist has been started. 

To get onto the waitlist, click the registration link below.  Choose the appropriate category and select the waitlist option, click “Proceed to Registration” and fill out all the information for the athlete.  The site will ask for payment details and your credit card will be authorized for the registration amount, however, the credit card will not be charged unless the athlete is moved off the waitlist onto the participant list.  If a spot opens up, you will be contacted by our Events Team.
NOTE: To make registration a fair process – any open spots will be offered to the first name on the waitlist (and will be offered down the waitlist in the order that the waitlist registration was received).  We cannot substitute any athletes for open spots…ie. athlete cancels and wants to “give” their spot to a specified athlete.  This is not allowed, instead, the cancelled spot will be offered to the first name on the waitlist.
