WASHINGTON -- General registration for the 31st Army Ten-miler has sold out. The Army's premier running event is scheduled for Sunday, October 11 in our nation's capital.
Priority registration opened May 5 for all U.S. service members and runners who have participated in seven or more ATM races. Approximately 15,000 race entries were reserved for priority registration on a first-come, first-serve basis. General registration opened at 6:30 a.m. Despite delays with the online registration, the race sold out by 2:30 p.m.
"The race continues to gain in popularity and sells out in hours year after year," said Jim Vandak, race director. "I sincerely apologize to the running community for the online registration delays today."
The contractor's online registration system overloaded immediately at the 6:30 a.m. when general registration opened, added Vandak.
"ATM officials are reviewing the system problems with the website, to prevent this from happening again," said Vandak.
Race weekend activities include the ATM Expo at the D.C. Armory, live music, youth activities, and the popular Hooah Tent Zone. The expo is open to runners and the general public Friday, Oct. 9 and Saturday, Oct. 10, from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Hooah Tent Zone is open race day to participating runners and will feature live music, youth activities, interactive displays and exhibits by Army installations from around the world.
