Are you able to walk through the esplanade/Downtown Disney on race morning to access start/finish area? we are coming from Dland hotel, just trying to plan how long it will take to walk.

As an extra data point, and I don’t have my bib info offhand, but I put in a 2:06 POT for last years DL half and ended up in corral B. However, I also put in a 8:00-10:00 min estimate for the 10k and was placed in corral D for that race. Assumption is that so many people marked themselves as having a <8 min pace that they had to back up the rest of the corrals. Not sure what the split was, if I had to guess, they had A and B for <8 min and at least C and D for 8-10 min and I was just unlucky.

Challenge bib has been listing two corrals for the two races and I would expect that to continue.

Can confirm A and B <8 min. I was also D | B for a challenge bib and thought it was a mistake so went to runner relations. They showed me their chart.

I can’t answer this, because I haven’t ran a DL race since they restarted yet. But on the Transportation and Parking Important Information page, it says there is a shuttle from the Disney hotels to the race starts.

From what I remember from 10 years ago, was that to go through the esplanade, you had to go through security. So maybe they are providing shuttles, so they don’t have to open that security early???
Hopefully someone with knowledge of recent races will be able to answer.

I don't mind a bus.

No idea what corrals I'll be placed in but have a challenge bib #221XX with no POT submitted (2:31-2:40 estimate for the half/8-10 minute mile for the 10k) for this race weekend.

For reference of past placements (with earliest non-POT half estimate/8-10 mm est. for 10k):

223XX E/D corrals (2024 Disneyland Half Weekend - Dumbo Double Dare)
216XX B/C corrals (2024 Halloween Half Weekend - Chills & Thrills Challenge)
218XX C/D corrals (2025 Disneyland Half Weekend - Dumbo Double Dare)

Good luck everyone. Should be fun!

I also was in D for the 10k last January. The corrals are smaller, and it wasn’t crowded when we were sent on our way.
