So, I went to sign up for a 70.3 in May of 2016, only to realized it's sold out. Completely.

The only thing that remains are a couple of the charity slots for the race. Now, I could do that, raise the money and plow on, or take my chances with the "walk up" registrations.

Anyone done that before? That's a big race for the chance of a walk up working out, right? Or is that a pretty viable option considering I get there early for it?

Just curious if anyone has done it and what the experience of such a thing was.

Is this an Ironman branded event or something else?    I've never heard of walk ups getting into a race that was sold out

Yes. It's the Ironman 70.3 Chattanooga for May 22, 2016.

What's odd, is that under their FAQ's, they have a note about walk ups, which is why I'm asking. It may be a pipe dream now though.

A friend of mine did a walk up for Eagleman 70.3 a couple years ago. It was sold out, and he contacted the RD about 3 or 4 weeks ahead of time and was told to show up with a check in hand and they would get him in the race. I guess they figure there will be at least 100+ no shows for the event, so they might as well. Not saying that normally happens but I know it happened at one IM event.

May. . . isn't Challenge/Rev3 Knoxville around that same time? Maybe that is an alternative for you? Toughman Indiana is also at the end of May.
