I remembered the run opening up registration about 7 to 8 months before race day, now it is more than 9 months ahead.

Does anyone know of any run that open up registration so many months in advanced?

there were a few.... but its quite rare... what I can think of is that the take up rates weren't very good in the past so to open up a longer duration for registration, might attract more runners over the longer months period... for more attractive races, usually the takeup rate is very fast thus there is no need for the race to start too early...

So what were the few? I honestly never know of any other run that opens up registration more than 9 months in advanced.

Hi, did anyone go for this race and what's the review? Is it more like our Yolo run or 2XU run?
