The post on IG had some more video of the merch. I like the blue pullover the guy is wearing. I may have to grab that if any are left by the time I get there.

We don’t arrive til Friday afternoon so I’m telling myself everything will be gone. And if it’s not then it will be a pleasant surprise!

I love that purple on the Dumbo shirt!

Me, too! And the purple Dumbo jacket! Purple is my favorite color so I'm thrilled it's being used for the Dumbo merch. I'll be there for the first day of the expo, and after missing out on the purple PW hoodie this year, I'm really hoping I'll get the jacket.

I got my wife into the half! Does anyone have any recommendations on where she should stay? I saw the Best Western Plus Pavilions had good reviews. Is that a good spot for her or is there somewhere better? On a budget, so not looking to stay 'on site', just a close walking distance.

We're booked at the Clementine. As someone mentioned, it's close to the start/finish and has nice, big rooms. This year's race we stayed at the Desert Palms Hotel & Suites. It's a further walk to the parks and start/finish, but if on a budget, it's nice enough and the walks are still doable.

Sorry, half map coming through a bit fuzzy. Anyway…

No changes to 5k/10k from September, half course exits DL about a half mile earlier but a lot of that is taken out from backstage i think. Of course that also means less opportunity for photo ops. City portion is different but can’t comment on the road we’ll be on, so it’s off to google maps to find out.
