Ironman Registration Opening Dates

    How soon after the 2013 race is finished, is a 2014 IM race likely to open for registration? It's Ironman Lanzarote I'd like to enter, and I see this year's event is sold out. I imagine it's similar every year, and I'd be worried about missing out on registration if I wasn't prompt about entering. Or does anyone know if this particular event sells out quickly?

    Thanks

    Don't IM events generally open the day after the last one takes place? The popular ones fill very fast. You can always get late slots from Nirvana though (by paying them a deposit for accomodation).

    Some open before the event (IMde), some the day after (IMAt), some don't sell out that quickly (IMLanza)

    PM Mr Tango, I know he was a late Lanze entrant this year

    Lanza opened in July last year but did not sell out until October I think

    Anyone feel comfortable taking race entry advice from a lad who missed his A goal cause he didn't enter?

    AFAIK there's still entries available for Lanza and I know of one or two lads looking to offload their entries.

    Thanks, but I'm not looking to do it this year. Good to know it hasn't sold out quickly though.

    On the other hand - did both Roth and Frankfurt and it is sitting by the computer the day it opens. Think Frankfurt was the day after - they advertise it on their website so just find the one you want to do and keep an eye on it.

    Some of them (like Roth) do a later entry. I entered Roth in December - they released 200 spots and charged 50 euro extra with the 50 going to charity.
