Boston Registration HELP!

West Grey Runner · Postby **West Grey Runner** » Mon Oct 18, 2010 9:21 am

Well I may have a bib to sell or I am not registered yet! I hit “Submit” and it came back to a blank registration form, I did it again and the same thing happened. Anyone have any success …can you tell me what happens after you hit “Submit”? I didn’t receive a confirmation email(s) so I suspect that I haven’t registered YET!

Yes it is happening to me too. Unless you receive a confirmation # (and the e-mail that follows it) you were not registered.

We will just have to keep trying - I am using a work computer, connected through the school board site, so I was wondering if there is some security issue that is messing it up.

Try this link instead of browsing to the baa home page.

Just tried again twice …. may have 3 bibs to sell! Still got the same response after hitting “Submit”, back to the blank form. Why do I feel like I am buying tickets to a Pink Floyd Concert?

Thanks frankis! The link you posted worked the first time.

I'm registered - excellent. Very weird that the address is wrong - someone posted that on twitter (ie take out that segment of the address).... and it worked fine.

Anyways - here we go!

Keep trying. The pressure seems to have eased off a bit. We know several people who got in in the last half hour or so, after trying for 2 hours before that.

I am IN!

RayMan · Postby **RayMan** » Mon Oct 18, 2010 10:42 am

Yee haw! I am in at last! Now I need to book the flights soon too.

Do you think its safe to book flights now - ie is that receipt good enough (I know my credentials are fine)?

Hmm good point; if money is tight you might want to wait to book that flight, until you get the official e-mail and postcard.

I'm in - hope the decision to go is the right one. I'm still on a high from yesterday's race; may be clouding my judgement. BUT Boston can only be a great thing!!! Yipee..

I registered already using a deferal acceptance from last year...do we seriously need to book flights already? Who do people recommend flying with? (i.e. CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!!!)

I booked my hotel through http://www.marathontours.com/index.cfm/ ... /pid/10393 and used Aeroplan miles for the flight. I was surprised that the “free” flight was $145.00 / ticket but its still a pretty cheap way to go!

Glad it worked. I got the link from the Runner's World forum. The funny thing is that it's the exact same link that you end up at if you visited the Baa home page and were redirected.

BTW, if people are thinking of registering, the RW forums are saying that they're at over 10,000 now which is over half of the available spots. It could close today or at the very latest within the next couple of days.

Hurry!

we are now at 16,000 entrants :shock:

Boston will fill up within 24 hours!

I'll definitely be waiting until 2012...that's insane!

Totally expected, though.

We'll, I guess a whole bunch of races are going to look much less attractive for Boston qualification

you have to qualify AND win the lottery.
