    Consumer warning!

  • We use Active.com for registration, but we dont't like some of its practices.
  • Don't buy a MAGAZINE subscription, unless you really want it.
  • Don't buy ACTIVE ADVANTAGE for $89, unless you plan to run at least 9 races this year, so your $10 discount per race breaks even
  • Don't buy REGISTRATION PROTECTION unless you're really really sure you won't run the race -- most race directors will gladly provide 100% refunds upon request (I'm speaking for myself)
  • If a race web page offers EXPRESS REGISTRATION, you can jump past where it asks you to create a password for future registrations. See this page.
