I apologize, it's a 15k. The Fleet Feet 15K Run into Buffalo.. It's on Monday, Sept 3rd

That's nothing to be bummed about! I'm betting that number lands you right in the middle!

That's middle, which is about right for a 13mm. I put 2:10 (exactly 13 minutes, my goal for this race!) and am 5731, most likely the same corral as you. I am guessing we are probably C or D out of A-F, but they may be smaller and go to G...

my DH has a 10000-ish bib number. His pace is along the lines of many I've seen mentioned here, but he's never run anything longer than a 5K, so I guess that's why his is so high. He was also on the waitlist. Not sure if that has anything to do with it or not ...

I also thought of maybe a certain higher set of #'s being designated for those that registered as a team? I've never registered for any of these races as a team, so I'm not sure if they do anything different there...just a thought I had.

#6545 here and looking forward to the fun!

I'm sorry if this was mentioned earlier, I scrolled back a bit but didn't see the answer.

How are you finding your bin numbers this early? I didn't get mine until packet pickup. Thanks :-)

[pinkxray]

Bib number 7982 (I think, I know it's 79 something)

There is a 10k in CT Sept. 8th. However last year 100 people and the slowest was 11min/mile. (I'm closer to 12-13 depending on how hot it is) Plus it's 2hrs away and two of the street names are Hill St and Mountain something. It looks very hilly.


There are also two half marathons in the upcoming weeks but not sure I'm really ready for those.


Just wondering what time do I need on a 10k or half to be able to submit a time? I looked all over rundisney but don't see the info. I think a half is under 3hrs, but what is the 10k time?

Your bib number is on the waiver that you have to sign and turn in at packet pick up. The official email hasn't gone out yet, that I know of, with the link to the waivers, but a good internet sleuth found it the other day and noticed yesterday that it was activated...here's the link they posted to get to your waiver if you want to check yours out

For ToT they only accept proof of time if you are expected to finish in 2 hours or less. So...let's see how good my math is that's 10 miles in 120 minutes at minimum...so a 12 minute mile? A 12 min. mile for a 10k would be a tad over an hour and 14 minutes...so, I think that's right, but my logic isn't always normal...anyone else have any other ideas? I'd say if you can get an official time anywhere near or under 1:14 for a 10k, bring it with you to the expo and see what they'll do...even if it's a few minutes over 1:14, you never know. I know when I ran a 10k for proof of time for the Princess Half, the expected finish time that they placed me in based on that time seemed pretty generous Hope that helps some!

Thank you guys for the support! I don't have much running experience, having only done a 5k and 10k. It seemed like everyone was posting very low bibs, so I figured I was going to be in the back. I feel better about it now.

I ran my longest run on Sunday (9.35 miles) and even with pouring down rain and heat, I still managed to keep it around 13 min miles. I switched training today back to the 5k101 program so I could work on running for longer than 1 min at a time. I got 2 miles in doing 3 mins/2 mins on the treadmill, but after that and walking the dog for 2 miles my inside right shin is hurting. I did run with the new insoles, so I don't know if it's that or the soreness from the long run or what.

I just realized that I never posted our numbers...

The DH is 6970, and I'm 6964!

[DisneyRunnerChick]

I'm 1122, DFi is 1101, BFF is somewhere in the 1900s, and her DH is 4000 something. So, what do you think the chances are we can get him moved to whatever corral we're in?
