Marathon Weekend 2017!

[ZellyB]

Did that for San Diego comic con, but we had 4 at the start then one crashed.

Reminds me of the Big Bang episode when they were all trying to get tickets to comic con and they all sat on their seats chanting, "Refresh. Refresh. Refresh."

Any reason the chear squad is greyed out?

 

[ZellyB]

How are you checking this? They usually have bars to tell you how filled the races are!

I just went back into the registration page to check. No more little green man for me when I click it.

It worked. We got in. Haha friend who wasn't in the room thought we were messing with her.

Will we be able to add Race Retreat later? I know it past years you could add it after but I'm not seeing it as a stand alone option on the registration page.

Nevermind, figured out my own question. In case anyone else is wondering, you can add commemorative items and Race Retreat after the fact by clicking on "manage registration" in your Active account.

In for my 4th Dopey. Sister is in for her 4th Dopey. Mom is in for 3rd 5K and 10K. Dad in for his 1st 5K and 10K. Cousin in for her second Half Marathon. Aunt in for her first race of any kind (not sure what she signed up for Edit: 5K and 10K). No hassles registering for anyone.

Pretty successful day for runDisney.

Did YOU register all of those folks?

what is Race Retreat? (sorry! I am a newbie)

 

[DopeyBadger]

In for my 4th Dopey, my mom's 1st marathon, and my daughter in the 100m dash on Friday and Saturday! My wife and cousin-in-law both decided not to run this year. Disney here we come!

Anyone know how I might be able to add on the race retreat for just the Full if I am registered for the Dopey? Only add on item I see is for the Dopey Race Retreat.

Also dont see Chear Squad open yet.

DW, DSIL and DBIL all in for the Dopey. Me in for the 5K, 10K and the 1/2.....and training to run around the World to cheer them on during the full!

So, you didn't just do Dopey why?

No worries, welcome to the madness (this will be my 4th marathon weekend!). Race retreat is a separate tent that runners for the half and full are able to hang out in before and after the race. From the rundisney website:

• Pre-race amenities include hot and cold beverages with fruit and bagels, dedicated stretching area, and private port-a-lets, bag check and Disney character meet & greets
• Post-race amenities include catered brunch, massage, private port-a-lets, bag pickup and live results

I'm not going to provide an opinion either way on Race Retreat as there are already plenty out there

 

[Megan Cavanaugh]

Has anyone ever ran the marathon through a charity? I'm thinking of signing up through JDRF and would love some feedback!

 

[SwiperFox]

How did people register for multiple races (especially the 5K and 10K)? It would only let me pick one and now they're on hold.

 

[Dis5150]

How long does it take for them to update registration info after you update it? I accidentally listed DD26 as male. I went in and changed it but it is still showing male?

 

[Barca33Runner]

Did YOU register all of those folks?

I registered myself and my Dad. I can't imagine trying to navigate that many browsers on that many machines.

 

[princessluna14]

Hubby and I are registered for our first marathon! So excited!!

 

[ANIM8R]

All signed-up for Dopey (#4)! DW for 10K!

As an aside - noticed that the Half and Full are the same price ($180). Has that been true in the past? That seems odd to me....almost like the marathon is a "bargain" (by Disney standards)!

Got in for my first ever marathon and castaway cay challenge! Husband is in for the half and castaway challenge as well! Really impressed with how easy and fast registration was for us this time around.
