IM Florida

Craig Marchand

Hey guys! I was thinking of racing IMFL next year. I was looking for any feedback on the race and how best to get in. I've only done one IM and it was pretty easy to get in. I think IMFL sells out fast and is a very popular one. Is this true?

If so would you have to attempt to register as soon as it opens and hope for the best? Alternatively some races give priority to HIM finishers priority to sign up for the full. If so I would consider racing the half this fall. Does anyone know if this applies to INFL?

Thanks for any feedback !

   Craig, It has sold out fast in the past, but it is actually still open for this year. I guess the IM Louisville move to Oct. has shaken things up.

IMFL sold out for general entry last year and there is no 70.3 that has slots for it. You can still pay for the IM Foundation to get a slot, race for a charity or get one from a travel company like EST. Last year there was an opportunity to get slots from some European organizer that was brokered by Slowtwitch just a few weeks before the race (they were $1000 each). Race Quest has also had them in the past but it is not on their 2015 calendar.

To be clear, are you talking 2015 or 2016.

Craig Marchand

@ brands I would like to do 2015 but it's sold out so I'm talking about 2016

Craig Marchand

@brenda aka brands, sorry. Stupid auto correct ??

@mark I looked today on my phone it said sold out. Are you sure?

Craig, it took several hours to sell out this year. If you're ready at your computer at noon on registration day this year, you'll get in. FWIW, I love this course. Have done a bunch of great IMs, but chose to do this one for the third time this fall.

Craig Marchand

Awesome thanks mike!

    @Craig, Sorry, I saw registration open, I didn't notice only for IM Foundation.
