Transfer Process Open from May 15 - August 14 for 25th Anniversary RaceÂ

Although this year's 25th Anniversary Army Ten-Miler (ATM) race sold out in a record six days, runners still have a chance to enter through the entry transfer program that opens May 15 and runs through August 14.
Sellers are responsible for finding buyers and coordinating payment terms. The actual transfer of registration is conducted online and a small administration fee is applied. All parties receive confirmation once the online transfer process is complete and transfer recipients can verify their entry through the ATM Confirmation Page search engine at www.armytenmiler.com. Historically, 1,200-1,500 runners enter the Army's race through this program.
The user-friendly Bulletin Board on the race's Web site is available for registered runners and non-registered runners to connect. However, race officials stress that non-registered runners are more likely to obtain entry by leveraging their existing family, work, and social networks. Other popular online bulletin boards and discussion group sites where runners might connect are MarathonGuide.com, Runners World Forums, Craigslist.org and Army Knowledge Online (AKO).
"Since we sellout in record time each year, the transfer program makes entering this year's sold out race a possibility," says Jim Vandak, ATM race director.
