We managed to successfully register for the DL Halloween 1/2 Marathon this morning. I don't have the Run Disney membership so we registered with the masses. We were in the queue within seconds of it opening and sat in the queue for an hour and 28 minutes before getting to register. By the time we got in, the 5k, 10k, combo race, and kids race had all sold out. Super excited we got in - but still can't believe they don't have a virtual queue and text you when you get to register.
I started at home, then put my home laptop on my hotspot while I drove to the office, to ensure I wouldn't lose my place in line.
I haven't tried to get into Chicago or New York lately. I am guessing the destination races are all this popular now.
