      From what I understand the race is now sold out. I am hitting the 10k, looking forward to the race, though I am not to pleased about the hoops you have to go through to pick up your race packet. Since there is no race day pickup the options are: going to NYC North Face store the day before the race, traveling to Bear Mtn the day before the race, or paying our good friends at active.com $17.50 to mail it. Unfortunately since I live three hours a way from the site, I will be paying active and having it delivered. I hope the race is worth all the hassle. BTW the packet pickup info was not available when I signed up.
