2026 Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend

Ohhhh it may be time for my long-planned Back Side of Water costume!

Please tell me you'll include a spritzer bottle so people can fully and properly experience The Eighth Wonder of the World

Oh I HAVE ideas!
We could go with a "lost" rides and characters theme. Dreamfinder certainly qualifies.

Lost rides, Society of Adventurers, people dress themed after their favorite ride, the possibilities are as endless as your imagination!

Are you saying just need one little spark of inspiration?

SEA opens up so many possibilities!

Ok. I just don’t think I can even compete with all of you. That would make quite the splash.

It is Florida in October, make it an integrated mister fan!

There will 100% be an interactive water element!

You guys are seriously putting pressure on me to up my costume game. Is it too late to return my ticket? (kidding!)

So is the theme attractions? It may literally take me 5 months to figure this out

 

[The Expert]

I'm happy to brainstorm some general ideas in theme for anyone to take.

Thanks! You made me triple check I'd updated mine! (I had - but better safe than sorry!)

Thank you! Yes everyone go check your POTs -- last chance!

I just surprised myself and improved my POT by a few minutes at a race on May 23, and so I happily updated my W&D registration. It felt good to update it.

Do y’all think there is any chance of getting a 5k bib? I should’ve gone with charity, but I just had to try and brave registration.

 

[fatmanatee]

I think it's going to be very difficult at the very least. Charity spots were quickly scooped up, a ton of people monitoring the alerts, which haven't shown any openings. No late openings for Springtime Surprise.

At this point your best bet may be to show up the first morning of the expo and ask the charity booths.

I wonder what the odds of getting a spot are...I was just approved to go to a conference in Orlando that ends the Friday of Wine and Dine and I am desperate to get into the challenge now.

It seems that just about every weekend we hear of a few folks getting in this way. It really depends on the charities and how many bibs they have left unclaimed or runners that had signed up who had to bow out. If I had to guess, I'd say that number could be anywhere from zero to maybe 10 or 15 across all the charities? So yeah, you need to be there first and get lucky, but if you're in town anyway and can go line up for the expo before 9am, I'd go for it.

I’m sure you have checked all the charities and they do all seem sold out at the moment but have you signed up for any waitlists? Several have a waitlist and some say it’s not uncommon for bibs to become available

This is my plan if I can't snag one beforehand, thanks!!

I am on so many waitlists, I am not even sure which ones I signed up for but I think I did all of them that offered it. LOL thank you!!

Where would one go at the expo to find unclaimed bibs? Would it be at the bib pickup/runner relations?

I believe you have to go to each charity's booth in the expo building, which opens at 10am on the first day of the expo.
