A unique registration situation lingered for the November 2009 Ironman Arizona race and now we have the answer. Typically registration for the following year's triathlon race takes place the day after the race. But now that the race in April will be permanently moving to November questions arose on whether on-site general registration would be available in April or not. If your 2009 Ironman plans include the November race in Tempe, you might want to go to Tempe in April, see below...

Today North America Sports outlined the registration process for the November 2009 Ironman Arizona race. On-site registration only will be available at the Ford Ironman Arizona Race to be held April 13, 2008. Registration for those athletes entered in the 2008 race (wristbands and ID required) will be on Saturday April 12th, from 9am to 11 am and for all others on Monday, April 14th, from 7 am – 9 am. There will be no on-line registration available after the April race.

Similarly at the November Ford Ironman Arizona, registration for those entered for the race (wristbands and ID required) will be available on Saturday, November 22nd from 9 am – 11 am and on-site registration for all others (if spots are available) will be available on Monday, November 24th from 7 am – 9 am.
