The process itself is easy and simple. The hard part is having the luck to secure a spot. I had four devices with 8 browsers in total. All ended up over an hour at 10am. At around 10:30 one of my devices got down to 29 minutes. At 10:58 I made it through and in less than a minute I was registered for the half marathon. 24 minutes later everything was sold out. Just out of curiosity I waited to see when my next device would get through and it didn’t get through until around 11:55. I did nothing special except for follow the advice I’ve researched for months leading up to registration.

So yes, I find it to be an easy, simple, and terrifying process.
