Does the 5K during marathon weekend fill?

[Koda]

I just signed up for the WDW 1/2 in January. My 16 y.o DD and her friend might come along and do the 5K (they wanted to do the 1/2, but their track/cross country coach said "no way!"). Marathon weekend is right around their mid-terms, though, so I want to make sure they will not be missing anything important at school before I sign them up. Will the 5K fill before September, when we can talk to their teachers?

Thanks!

The race will fill. Like other races, a % full indicator will pop up as the race hits 50%. The 5k can make big jumps in % full at it passes 80%. The race will also get lots of entries once the theme is announced. Keep an eye on the race and hopefully you will be able to go past September before entering.

I signed up in October last year, and I think my Brother signed up in November. It usually sells out, but not as quickly as some of the other events tend to.

Last year it filled up in late December, I believe. Just keep an eye on it. A really awesome theme/medallion may make it fill faster.

Actually, I find it sells out the weekend before I decide to enter. That is the reason I hold the Chuckster 8k each race weekend Friday. This year, tentatively scheduled for OKW. Though it may move to the Boardwalk area if I do not lock in the OKW GV.
