Marathon Weekend 2018

[Princess KP]

Working on my running playlist while anxiously waiting for corrals...really productive day at work.

but H would screw with my "touring plan" lol!

"Touring Plans" is the motivation for my corral placement too. LOL!

 

[AlexRunsDisney]

If this were 2013 I would be in

Me too!!! (Which tells me its a little off. I expect to be in C or D)

Lol, I would be in G and I entered a time of 4:30:00 for the full marathon. I guess we'll see.

Hello all!

I have been following for awhile as this site has such incredible information, especially for a first time DisneyRun racer. This will be just my 2nd half and 1st full so I have a lot to learn!

My question is that it appears they did not accept my POT for my 1st half (2:06) for the Goofy based on what I am reading here as my bib number appears to put me in the last corral. Is there any chance to ask for reconsideration? I am not a fast runner but would prefer to be a little higher up in the corrals.

Thanks for any help or suggestions! I also realize I could just relax and wait to see what actual corral I am in before worrying about it .

 

[AlexRunsDisney]

So essentially your bib number is pointless until we get the corrals?

LOL! Yes, basically.

They did not accept my PoT either it seems so it looks like I'll be going to race relations at the Expo to try and get a corral switch. Doesn't hurt to ask.

I was just using a simple conversion by combining the '16/'17 A and B corrals to get the 2018 corral A approximate bib numbers and time required (and so on down the line).

^^ Same

You can make guesses, but yes, you need both to find out where you sit...

The last few races the corrals have been released either simultaneously or shortly after.

IF you're placed in the last corral, I'd absolutely suggest you go to Runner Relations at the expo. You'll need to show them a screen shot of your registration, showing what you entered for PoT, along with the proof of that PoT. They do get things wrong sometimes, and that's the process for correction. It happened to a friend of mine and I accompanied her to Runner Relations, so I saw the whole transaction - rD was very nice and changed her corral based on her evidence.

Pretty much! But it means we're one step closer

I would be in E as well (based on those goofy corrals) and I submitted a 5:34 PoT.

E here as well base on the 2013 goofy corrals. I'm a Dopey and clicked the just over 5:30 finish and entered a PoT HM 2:46. By bigger concern is if that I would be E for the HM as well. According to 2013 DS for her HM will be in corral D which will make it hard to convince her to come back and slum it with me in E

 

[DopeyBadger]

Hmm... if I translate 2013 Goofy corrals to 2018 Dopey numbers, I'd be in E. But I seriously doubt I'd be that far forward with no PoT and entering a 5:40 estimated finish. I suspect 2018 corrals will have fewer people in early corrals and two or 3 giant corrals in the back.

Agreed. I'll be interested to see how they come out. This is my guess based purely on meshing consecutive 2017 corrals.



ETA - The Marathon and Half Marathon include all bib #s from solo event, Goofy and Dopey.

 

[AlexRunsDisney]

Where will the corrals be posted? I would like to know so I can start refreshing

Exactly what I was doing (although a lot more elegantly) with my mental mash-up to get a Corral C estimate.

Great minds think alike! Just saw that once my page refreshed! Darn questions from students don't they know waivers just came out!

Based on your best guess, a bib # in the 13000's would be in the last corral? Or second to last corral?

I would be in G and I had 4:30:00 lol.

 

[huskies90]

How does signing the waiver work for a minor? Do I sign and write "parent of"....X.

I have not clicked the link yet. My daughter is 18 now but was 17 when we signed up last year. I had to sign her up as a minor even though she would be 18 on January 6, 2018 for the race. How does the waiver work for her?

 

[Philo2020]

To add another question, is there a site you are all checking? I have not received any email notifications from RunDisney although I have verified that I have registered for the race on active.com and was able to pull my waiver with my bib number. I feel like there should be more communication or a better site to check, outside of this wonderful site of course
