Marathon Weekend 2017!

[Dis5150]

On hold with Delta - they are offering a one time change due to winter storm Helena so I am trying to bump up my arrival time and miss the forecasted snow! Wish me luck!

Would someone going to the expo be willing to grab me a marathon hat and magnet? I won't get to the expo until Saturday and am worried they will be gone. I could send the money on PayPal

I will be there in about an hour. If they line to the expo isn't crazy I could try. PM if you see this with exactly you're looking for.


They probably did away with the bag check stickers because they never stayed attached.

But they did change your corral, right? If they did, you'll probably get that hour back on the course!

Yes! They changed my half/full bib but told me they don't typically change the 5k/10k. They tried to find me a new bib for those but didn't have anything better than what I already had. Getting it changed was definitely worth the wait.

Looking at Accuweather they are calling for afternoon thunderstorms. Which while it puts a damper on trip at least hopefully means we won't be standing around in the rain pre-race.

Let us hope...

They gave you a totally new bib? Not just a sticker to correct it?

There goes all the hard work @DopeyBadger put into his spreadsheet.

Ok this expo stuff...drives. Me. Nuts. They started this at wine and dine. They regulate the line and only let so many people in. In Nov I waited 15-20 min to get in to get my bib. But I was in line inside and upstairs, so I could look down at pick up. 9 people. Nine. I get that they are trying to help crowds, but this doesn't seem to be helping much.

Pandora ... coming soon

They put a sticker on it, she was going to give me a new bib for 5k/10k but they didn't have a better corral so I kept the one I had.

@Dis5150 are you in Arkansas? When do you fly out? I fly out of Memphis Friday morning and the snow forecast keeps popping up and then going away.

Does anyone have an idea of if a vender at the expo would sell Mylar blankets?

 

[StarGirl11]

Well I'm in D again for the 5k/10. Thought being in I for the full/half might bump be into C but nope apparently. Not complaining just noting it.

Not sure but if you have Amazon you can get a pack by tomorrow at your hotel. I just had to order ear phone covers myself because I lost one and need it to get through the weekend.

Arrived just after 4. No big lines got in and out with everything I wanted, shoes, pins, and magnets.

I checked there but they said I'd have to add one day shipping for $10 or something. Boo

Space Mountain. Tried the toy story ones on and like the feel of Space Mountain better. I'll post pics when I get back.

@Ariel484 yes seeing multiple people complain on twitter about the screw up on the goofy, dopey, and marathon shirts. Every weekend there seems to be some sort of merchandise screw up.

Hilarious. I was thinking about heading back but now I'm wondering if stuff will be pulled...
