Marathon Weekend 2016

[pamster]

So will we now be able to identify members of this thread by whose prancersising the race instead of running?

Since 5k registration closed before @Keels and @Ariel484 decided on the prancercise theme, I guess my options are to either spectate or volunteer so I can see this throwback phenomenon.

(I was born in the late 80s, so I mostly identify with the 90s - bring on the scrunchies, jelly shoes, and slap bracelets for 2018 Dopey/5k! .... not that I'm considering Dopey 2018 )

 

[Keels]

Do you think someone at rD would lose their mind if I called and asked if it was OK if I brought a horse to the 5K?

 

[rteetz]

Dopey is at 95
Half at 90
5k sold out
10k sold out
Goofy 65
Full 50
Kids races 50

 

[FFigawi]

Seriously. I planned my whole day/week around being home at noon and it looks like I didn't have to.

If you hadn't, it would've sold out in 15 minutes.

Same here... I was '87 so I'm a 90s girl!

... anyone else surprised that the race retreats are so full? And the kids races? I thought those would be around for a while.

 

[AThrillingChase]

I can't figure out any rhyme or reason for the "magical extras" sell out rate. The wine and dine pre race taste has been sold out for quite some time, but the post race party isn't even showing up on the page yet so that must still be at lower than 50%.

I have mixed feelings on the race retreat...it would certainly be helpful if there is inclement weather. But I really love the energy and pre-race area so I'm just not sure it would be worth it. Especially if it is basically just a similar set up to the reunion breakfast. It was cute, but definitely overpriced. I much preferred our O'hana breakfast for nearly half that the day before!

 

[Yooperroo]

Has anyone ever done the pasta in the park party the night before? Is that fun/worth it?

 

[Keels]

OMG. OMG. OMG.

Just take all my monies. ALL of them.

Hahahahahaha!! Please do!

After all that tension, we deserve a little lol!

Anyone signing for the Pastain the Park Party? Thinking about going on the 9th, to celebrate the half.

I'm with you! If I had the $37, I'd get the 10K one.
Nobody let me anywhere near money until May 7th, k?

There's a 10k one?

 

[SarahDisney]

There's a 10k one?

Yup! They didn't post it on FB, but it's on the website.

 

[Keels]

There's a 10k one?

Yes. And it's freakin' adorable:

You should join my sister and me at Trail's End (FW) on the 9th!

(Yes, I've already (generally) planned out my Marathon Weekend vacation schedule. )

 

[pamster]

Yes. And it's freakin' adorable:

I need a second job solely to fund this runDisney insanity.
