Disneyland Paris Half 2017

Do you think, this years races are sold out faster than last year?

I highly doubt it. Last year, an enormous contingent of Americans descended on Paris for the inaugural, but many of those were one-and-done. I think bib-only registrants will be fine, as long as we register the moment it opens.

As one of the aforementioned Americans, most of my the folks I see at the runDisney events stateside were pretty much one and done. Although the added 10K and challenge might draw some back. I'm not planning on being a 'one and done"-er.

Wow, the finish line will be this year INSIDE the Walt Disney Studios!

Where did you find the course maps @DerTobi75 ?!?

Ah, I did not found the course map, runDisney France posted this info on their Facebook Page as "Breaking News"!

I hadn't even seen that they had a page - looks like it's new! Thanks for the heads-up. Here's the announcement for those interested: https://www.facebook.com/RunDisneyF...231017309771/1701324279933778/?type=3&theater

I guess there's our answer for whether it's selling well.

Do any of you know if it's possible to buy tickets for the kick-off party when buying bibs??

And is it worth the money???

 

[Shumshine]

Does anyone know if there's been any indication when bib-only entries will be released?
Last year I picked up an entry late Feb.

Would love to try the challenge.
TIA

Someone asked them at the Rotterdam Marathon Expo this weekend, where rD had a booth. Answer was, late may to early june!

If that is the case, they are really trying to push the package registrations.

Whaaat... that's insane!
Really hope that isn't true... I had hoped that the rumor of April was true

Yep, I also hope that this is not true. I do not know, if I should book my hotel now or just keep waiting, ...

They even posted it on their official Facebookpage, it is in the comments of the Rotterdam Marathon Expo Booth Video. Someone named Andrea asked them, ...



How can someone have a magical day after this posting?

At least some hotel bookings are refundable, if you don't get a bib.

That appears to be official, as they also responded to me on their Facebook page:

"Bonjour Kim, the bib-only sale is scheduled for late may/early june. Have a magical day"​

[Shumshine]

I guess I'll chance it late May/early June! But I really do think they're pushing for package deals - especially with the 25th Anniversary celebrations.

I've already booked train and hotel offsite. If I can get the bib good, otherwise I'll just enjoy the parks with my friends. Not bad as a plan B.
