Having problems with message search?
I think volunteering is the best way to improve your chances of getting in. I haven't heard anything one way or the other about whether or not they take past history of similar events into consideration. I think that groups have a slightly better chance to get in, but I suspect that volunteering has a much greater influence. Once you have completed the event 4 or 5 times, I think you're pretty much guaranteed to get in after that, but that doesn't help a first-timer.
This year, when I volunteered for the Silver Rush 50, I got a piece of paper signed by my "supervisor" saying how much time I put into the event. I think the idea is that for next year, people who volunteered this year will send that piece of paper in with their application. To me, that says that volunteering is your best bet, and that you probably need to volunteer in 2010 in order to have some certainty that you will get into the race in 2011.

I am impressed with the quality of the trailer - looks exciting. So what's the skinny on buying tickets?I know I asked this once before, but how does one get a better shot at getting into the race (given we all live in Fort Collins)? Do they take a look at past history of similar endurance events as part of the consideration? I seem to recall folks commenting you are better off to get in a group or if possible do volunteer work.Thanks,Jon
