WASHINGTON - - After another record breaking sell-out year, the Army Ten-Miler (ATM) opened its Online Transfer Program on June 1. Runners who missed the initial registration still have a chance to get in the race. The program allows registered runners (sellers), who aren't able to participate, to transfer their race registration to unregistered runners (buyers).
The transfer is completed entirely online using a secure system. The seller will enter the name and email address of the buyer into the transfer form to initiate the transfer. Transfer boards will be posted on the ATM website for sellers to link up with buyers.
The online transfer program has been successful since it started with an average of 1,200 transfers taking place each year. "Since the Army Ten-Miler fills up in record time each year, the online transfer program offers a viable opportunity to runners who still want to run ATM," commented Jim Vandak, ATM race director.
The ATM Transfer program will run from June 1 until August 30.
