I find it interesting, though quite possibly means nothing, that the event program includes this year's date for the Expedition Everest Challenge in the Event Calendar, rather than a 2015 date. Every other event program from the last year contains a date of the next date for that event, rather than the current event date (Princess, WDW Marathon Weekend, Wine & Dine, Tower of Terror, Disneyland Half).

That said, the 2013 event program included no date for Expedition Everest Challenge at all, so again, the lack of a future date may not mean anything, but interesting nonetheless.

There is speculation that there will be no 2015 EEC due to construction at AK. This could be a reason why.

I'm not sure whether or not they will have them, but from the final race instructions it looks like they might. They say that the Base Camp & Bazaar will feature New Balance, Fit2Run and other great exhibitors. We're hoping that means they'll be there!

I emailed them a while ago and was told that a small supply of the sneakers will be there.

Good luck everybody! I was suppose to run with my husband in our first Run Disney race, but alas one torn ACL, shredded meniscus, and cartilage damage to the knee is going to put an end to it for this year. Darn soccer game! He is still going to run while I cheer everyone on from the sidelines. I'll be the person in a huge brace and crutches cheering you can do it!

Yikes!! Sorry you'll miss the race, hope you have fun cheering and people watching and that you heal up soon!!!

What does everyone bring with them to the race? Just essentials and that's it?

 

[Castle2Castle]

We'll probably just have my phone (used for pacing) and a credit card, both of which I can carry around all night in my ArmPocket.

I saw that as well...hoping!

Thanks for the confirmation. Hoping the supply isn't too small!

Yeah you get your bib at packet pickup,the other poster was just mentioning what number their bib will have which you can see by looking at your waiver.
