Marathon Weekend 2018

[pchristofferson]

Officially registered for my (and my son's) first ever half marathon. 5K for the whole family. Process was easy once the page went live. Thanks all!

Are we exempt from working the rest of the day for dealing with this????

Just need to stretch.

In for Dopey #2 for myself and Castaway Cay 5k. It's a family affair this time ... the wife has the 5K, 10K and Castaway Cay 5K and both kids are running dashes (DS 200m, DD 100m)! Cannot wait ... time to kick training into gear!

I've got good news for you...there is no DVC discount!

I thought DVC got a discount. The benefit must just be the early registration. Did they give discounts in the past? If not, the prices have definitely gone up since we ran in 2016.

I got my son in for the 10k. I was so worried about making sure I got into the site at the stroke of noon and the link was late opening up.
Thanks for the assistance with this one guys!

They used to give modest discounts. I think it was $10. That stopped a couple of years ago.

Wow. Half an hour in, and nothing is even On Hold yet.

Yeah, I'm registered, but it will be interesting to see what happens on Tuesday. I watched the Wine and Dine registration a few weeks ago (nothing is sold out still). When I registered for it last year things were selling out in their typical minutes for short races and challenges and not much longer for the half. I wonder if they've finally added so many race weekends or moved the registration dates up so far that they are starting to drive people away, the marathon didn't even fill last year, last I saw.

My thoughts too.

Time will tell ... but they still got my $ ... so, I may not be a good judge.

All done, Marathon and 10k. Still not sure about my decision but has been made. If Dopey stays open I can always view it as a sign and transfer. I just haven't gotten back into training enough to feel confident about it to spend 560 with no deferral option. The Marathon is a bucket list item, and theres always future Dopeys. I also want to enjoy this adults only trip, and I think sticking to just the 10k and full will make that easier. I love the 10k distance. Favorite distance, favorite course, can't skip it. Very excited

All signed up for my first Dopey. So... excited? Nervous? Maybe both? haha

It's only a couple miles over a couple of days

Just say it in your head

Signed up for Dopey #2!! The allure of the anniversary medals was just too strong. Now I just need to figure out where and how long after the marathon to stay. I just wish it was one week later like 2015.

Hey everyone,

I registered for the WDW 1/2 because of my link from this years canceled race. But now I want to register the family for the 5k. I'm an AP & DVC member but I don't see where to do it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Chris

Sign into your DVC page. Do a search for RunDisney. Follow the links.

 

[csmart1152]

Thanks! I was searching all over the site, but never used the "search". Boy do I feel sheepish!

 

[SunDial]

I am in for Dopey. It is going to be fun!

Officially in for 'just' the marathon 2018! Hoping to break my being sick during it jinx (flu 2015, food poisoning/illness 2016).

Too bad you can't just order an individual pin now, I know I did in 2015. Wonder what that 25th figurine will be.

All registered so another M&M McFlurry detour to McDonald's in 2018 at mile 15.78 during the WDW Marathon.
