I also got in through the time qualifying standard and this year they must not have had as many runners submit times. I applied on the last day of time qualifiers and was notified within an hour! I ran NYC in 2015, and then got talked into running again with some local friends who were in...

Thanks Keels and Dis-Yoda. This is very helpful and while a DNF (my first) would be disappointing, I had no race goals for this one since I earned a Boston qualifying time at Berlin. This was supposed to be fun race with friends, but I cannot risk a tear or worse.

Two weeks after the Berlin Marathon I got an Achilles injury. Nursing it to health has been tough and I am scheduled to run the marathon next Sunday. This could be my first DNF and I have absolutely no idea where the bus takes the non finishers. My group bought race retreat and if I get on...

Are the dates ever adjusted on the refurbishments? I really wanted to ride Soarin' during Tink weekend.

Does anyone know when travel agents will have room blocks for Tink weekend? I need a room, but do not want to pay rack rate. TIA!

I did, but I still think there is a possibility of error. A friend had a huge problem with her corral placement for WDW Marathon weekend and they basically told her tough luck. She was running the Dopey Challenge.

I would definitely stay at Port Orleans and use the race transportation and avoid having to drive to and from the race start.

I am also worried they will mess up my corral. Since they do not make changes at the expo, we are at the mercy of someone entered our data into the computer. Hopefully we are all in the correct corrals.

Thanks Kim. I see you are registering for Avengers.....we will miss that one this year. Too hard to get out to the west coast!

I hope it is okay to resurrect this thread. While it is a few years old, I remember reading this before I ran my first marathon thinking how cool it would be to one day run Boston. A little background here....I am an older runner (started at age 57) and grew up cheering and handing our orange...

Is there a Corral list anywhere? It is probably posted, but I have not been on the WISH boards in a while. It would be fun to know who else will be in your corral. Looking forward to the Glass Slipper Challenge. :)

We also received our Magic Bands today. :thumbsup2 So excited to try them out. Someone recommended that I put the band in my skirt pocket during the race. That is what I am planning to do since I wear a Road ID bracelet and a Garmin watch. I think the band would be just one too many things on...

Nice blog Lauren! My daughter and I share a blog about runDisney!

I love this idea.....really the only ones that should be wearing the Goofy or Dopey medals are those that finished in the time limit.

You can definitely purchase them online at the Disney store. I just asked runDisney via Twitter if they would have Dumbo Challenge training shirts or Dopey training shirts. It would be great if they offered them for specific races!

My daughter and I are both in for Dopey Challenge! The Goofy Challenge plan was available online last year by the end of June because the first week of training started on the 3rd of July! I hope they put out a plan for the Dumbo Double Dare soon, but I am not too worried about that after...

You will be in A. Just move up to the front and you will have no problem. I run a 2:02 (and hope to go sub 2 hours soon) and am fine in the A corral.

The prior posters just meant that they left their kids at home and enjoyed WDW with their spouses! :thumbsup2

I think the Epcot resorts are a great choice for adults since you have easy access to the either Epcot or HS IF you choose to go. Also, the Boardwalk has restaurants and other places to keep you entertained. We are staying at the Yacht Club for Wine and Dine and the Polynesian for Marathon...

I think you would be running in the 1:20-1:35 range for an elite corral placement in a female race. Not sure what the time would be for a mixed race.
