| Stayed up late to make sure I could get a slot and they didn't beef up their servers enough to handle the volume. Going on 40 minutes of trying at this point and just got dinged for my google chrome auto-fill putting my phone number in an unapproved format. I am starting to think that I am crazy to stay up late and pay for the privilege of running 10 miles in a huge crowd. Sigh. |

| My DH stayed up and registered me - took over an hour he said. Maddening! |

| Took me 45 minutes at midnight to register. Still 3,000 spots left right now and I guess registration is going quickly/smoothly. Learned my lesson. Next year I'll sleep and just wait untill 4 or 5 am to register. Registration was soooo painful... |

Save your money. Baltimore Half Marathon is a much better run race, as are any number of other great races in October. Army Ten is poorly organized and every year I ran it we experienced problems that an experienced race director and management team shouldn't have.

| Registered with no problem at 6:30 am. Am also running the Baltimore half the week before. I'm thinking the 10 miler will be a piece of cake after the uphill baltimore course. |

| I don't know, I've run the Army Ten Miler 7 times and the only time I found it disorganized was the year they found a suspicious package on the course and diverted everyone so the race became the Army 11.42-Miler. That sucked. Otherwise, I've always enjoyed it. Running my 8th this year. (I got priority registration, woohoo!) |

| It took me about 5 minutes to register at 8am. My colleague went to register an hour later and it had sold out. |

That's the problem is that you never know how quickly it will fill up. I can't remember if I stayed up late last year or I signed up early in the morning, but I remember it was sold out quicker (if I recall correctly) than this year. |
