However, here are some interesting facts and pieces of information that you need to know about the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler registration. Some people have already experiences difficulties and unavailability of server while trying to register for Cherry Blossom 10 Miler.

Scurry & Whirl describes her failure experience with Credit Union Cherry Blossom 10 Miler registration.

Well I attempted to sign up. Got as far as confirm your registration, and then realized I was a dumbass and put my best 5 mile time instead of 10 mile pace. When I tried to edit it, I just got the Server Unavailable message. Then I realized I was a dumbass for doing that and I should have just hit complete register, and I could have changed the corral later.

Now I have just tried to resubmit, started from scratch 3 times. And every time I get to the last step it tells me server unavailable. My hopes are dashed. Now I have to find another good Ten Milers in the area happening around the same time.

The 37th running of the Credit Union Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run and 5K Run Walk will be held on April 5, 2009.

Below is the information provided from Cherry Blossom about the details of the 10 miler registration.

Due to the legal requirement that each individual sign the waiver, online registration is limited to one individual at a time. This is necessary to avoid the practice of one individual signing up multiple individuals during a single on-line session. When this happens, the additional individuals are entering the race without signing the waiver. Family members wishing to enter as as a group will have to initiate a separate on-line process for each member, or can consider downloading copies of the mail-in entry form and submitting them together in an single envelope.

Registration to the Ten Mile is limited to the first 12,000 entrants; registration to the 5K Run-Walk is limited to the first 500 entrants.

The 5K Run-Walk is designed to accommodate individuals running or walking at a pace of 14-minutes per mile or slower (greater than 2 hours and 20 minutes for a 10-mile time). Registration for this event will open simultaneously with registration for the 10-mile run. The 5K Run-Walk will begin at 8:40 on Sunday, Apr. 5, 2009.
