How to ensure our marathon registrations are linked?

[nemmie]

Hi all,
Please excuse me this is my first ever race therefore registration.
Just about to register for the Wine and Dine Half Marathon and you have to register one at a time. How do Disney link registrations to ensure hubby and I are in the same corral start?
Many thanks

Hi nemmie!

If you put the same finish time down, you may be able to get into the same corral. However, if your husband ends up in a higher corral then he can always move back to your corral, no problem ... and vice versa. You can always move back but in order to move up, you'll need to talk to race relations during W&D half-marathon weekend (or call them in advance, if allowed).

I did the W&D half last year. It was a lot of fun! I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Just make sure you both put down the same expected time. You may have to adjust on race day. The one further up can always move back to the slower corral. Since this is your first, speed and corral placement is not as big of a concern - you really just want to have fun, even if you are both starting in the last corral.

Oh thank you! So i registered us both on the same form using the same payment card etc and put our expected finish time as the exact same.

So if he gets put in a higher corral we don't need to talk to anyone about it they will just let him start in the further back corral with moi?

Many many thanks.

Correct, you can move back in corrals without getting your bib changed.

Fantastic thanks!

Urgh now just one other thing, on the confirmation email Hubby is showing as 10 years younger. He's happy LOL but anyone know how I can change that?
