Marathon Weekend 2017!

[mbwhitti]

I leave out of Memphis tomorrow at 11 on Southwest! Maybe they could change you to that flight if the snow still looks like it's coming?

.

Wish we could but hubby and I have to work. Womp womp. Snow is supposed to be dry with no ice, so that's good.

Well I have 2 suitcases just for me soooooo...

Yep, just upgraded to the large suitcase. Magical express can handle it! I blame the cold weather clothes.

Fwiw - at Caribbean beach they stopped at them all. I'd imagine SSR is the same. But ask them when you catch a bus to the expo, to be sure for race morning.

In 2015, there was only one stop for race mornings at SSR. For the sake of those staying, I hope they've changed that.

I wanted to wish everyone running this week the very best of luck and to have fun for all of us living vicariously through you! As someone still kinda new to this board I have learned a lot and really enjoy the experiences through reading all of the posts. I hope to join you all for the Marathon Weekend 2018.
Good Luck!

Do we add the bib numbers and race ID for photopass after the race or now? I can't figure it out now

@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.

Yep Arkansas. I'm an hour from the airport and got tired of all the changes in the forecast. So we are spending the night tomorrow at an airport hotel then DH will drop me off friday morning. I had a noon flight on Delta thru Atlanta that I changed to 7:10 am as the forecast was for snow/ice in Atlanta in the afternoon and I didn't want to chance it (and Delta tweeted that they were offering free one time changes due to the storm.) It sucks that there are no direct flights out of Little Rock. We flew out of Memphis to WDW in September and it was great but it's a 3+ hour drive from here. Good luck on your flight!

Question about linking the bibs to photopass - do we have to wait until after the races are run to add the bibs? I tried to be proactive and enter them tonight and get an error that there are no photos to load.

Here are the codes, for anyone interested:

KID'S RACES: 2017-WDWK-IDSx-xxxx
5K: 2017-WDWW-K5Kx-xxxx
10K: 2017-WDWW-10Kx-xxxx
HALF MARATHON: 2017-WDWH-ALFx-xxxx
MARATHON: 2017-WDWM-ARAx-xxxx

I was able to enter my photopass IDs. It just said it was linked and my pics would load shortly or something...

Was it on the app? You would click add magicband or card and put it there right?

Can somebody tell me the pricing for the New Balance shoes? Also, are they offering any styles in kids sizes this year?

Sorry - can't do the green ribbon - forgot mine at home.

Just write "DIS" by the same hole.

$130 for Space $140 for toy story. I'm not sure about the other two. Kids sizes in the two of the four shoes.

Good luck to everyone running the 5k tomorrow! I have finally finished packing and am flying down first thing tomorrow morning. Crossing my fingers that the lightning holds off on Saturday morning for the half.

Flight changed thanks to predicted snow!! Will arrive around midnight Thursday (had to do the later non-direct flight bc DH and I HAVE to work some tomorrow, no negotiations)... snagged the last room at Pop.. lucky me? Ready to be at WDW!

Good Luck Dopeys & 5K Runners!

I have to wait until sunday to run some magical miles.

Thank you all for this great thread, thank you for being so helpful (and for understanding my english :-D)! Hope to see some of you on sunday morning before the race, on course or after the race DATWing :-D

Add a zero as the first digit.

You can do it now. I did yesterday for DW, DSIL, DBIL (all Dopeys) and myself (5K, 10K and 1/2).

Thanks. I had to manually input a space after 2017 for it to work for me, but it is good now. Got all my friends and family bibs linked.

Good Luck to all!!

Today in the 5K I'll be the older non-running body guy in the greyhound long sleeve Seahawks shirt and blue Seahawks cap with three others (short blonde is my wife).

No green ribbon.

Coral C for the 5 K.
