Folks who care probably already know, but time flies. I thought it was next Wednesday. 
Registration for the Ascent opens at noon Mountain (2PM Eastern) and the Marathon at 1PM (3PM Eastern). 
They've also tightened the qualifications. The Ascent requires either completing one of the races in the past under a certain time or a completed half marathon (< 2:30) or a full marathon (< 5:30). The Marathon requires a either completing one of the races in the past under a certain time or completing a full marathon (< 5:30). 
Good Luck. I think registering for the races will be more difficult that running them!

Horray! Are there any other KickRunners who made the registration race? 
I was on the fence about running the Double. Anyway, I figured I would head out to lunch and if there were still openings for Wave 2 Ascent (its my first year for either race) when I returned I would do it. Fate never leads me wrong <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> 
It looks like the new qualifications slowed things down. I was able to register 45 minutes after registration open! BUHAHA. 
If I remember correctly from last year, it was a few weeks before the Wave 1 Ascent filled. For locals, the Triple Crown Series is always an option. Last year, there were still openings for the marathon 1 week before the Garden of the Gods 10 miler.
