Marathon Weekend 2026 DIS LIST
Now that the guide is out, it's time to compile our list! @Herding_Cats is working on the info deck and I will update our spreadsheet to include your info (if you wish to participate). We do this as a means to help people find each other on race day at either the pre-race/post-race meet-ups, in the starting groups, or just by chance on the course. If you'd like to be included, provide as much of the information below as you want. The only required fields are Dis name, estimated pace/POT from registration, and expected pace. All others are optional. This will also be helpful to your family and spectators because it provides "time of day" markers for when you should reach different milestones based on your estimated pace and starting time (starting group). This might also help if you are hoping to find a running-buddy with similar goals.
Provide the following info separately for each race that you (or friend/family member) plan to participate in. That means if you're doing a challenge or multiple races, you'll copy the blank questions first and fill them out for each race (they can still be in one post). It makes it a ton easier to enter, so thank you for complying!
RACE -
NAME -
DIS'er name -
Costume/Clothing -
Estimated Pace/Finish/POT from Registration -
Club runDisney Platinum? - (Yes or No)
Pre-Race Meet-up? - (Yes or No)
Front, Middle, or Back of starting group -
Early Bird or Late Arriver -
Expected Race Pace -
Spectating? (Yes or no) -
If spectating, which races and what location(s)? -
I will compile everyone's response into a single spreadsheet, @Herding_Cats will take screenshots for the full deck, and we'll distribute this info when we get closer to race day. I cna also make the full spreadsheet available in PDF form. As for the optional items, the following reasons have been given for why someone may choose not to provide:
NAME - Because I want internet anonymity. Just first name or initials are fine. Or nothing at all is fine too.
Estimated Pace/Finish/POT from Registration: If you know now that you will be starting in a different group than assigned, then give me the group you plan to start in. The estimate for the M/HM should be the estimated finish time you selected (for instance 5:30-6:00 for a M or Dopey). We will assume one starting group on a single HM/M bib for Dopey runners. So whatever your M assignment, that will be the same as your HM assignment.
Pre-Race Meet-up? - Not required to attend or not attend the meet up. Just gives us an idea of who to look out for morning of.
Early Bird or Late arriver just means whether you think you'll arrive to the meet-up/starting group early in the race morning or late in the race morning.
Front, Middle, Back of corral just means where you plan on lining up when the race starts. This helps people find you easier in a crowd if say two people are in corral C, that are early birds, and front people. Then I'd look for your costume on race day. As well it helps with timing to know whether you're closer to the front of your group or back.
Once I "like" your post with the above information in it we have added you to the compiled list.
We will include timing information about the races based on past history but no guarantee they follow the same system as before.
The DIS List also contains:
-Timing information for each race (such as what time the corrals open and close)
-Pre-Race Meetup location and timing
-When you individually will hit milestones on course based on your estimated pace and start time estimate.
-A suggestion as to whether your spectating friends will need to take a pre-race bus or a post-race start bus to see you at the finish line.
-Mini golf and HH meetup information
-Riding rides estimates based on your pace and start time
-Alcohol locations on course
-Real bathroom locations on course
-Magic Kingdom dark sky estimates based on your pace and start
-Pacer information (when available)
-Spectator guide and possible DIS spectator gathering points
-DATW information
The goal is to have the document completed and shared by the weekend of January 3rd. LURKERS ARE WELCOME!
