Marathon Weekend 2018

Do they not show the % full each race is anymore? (been a few years since I've done Disney)

Got rid of that over a year ago.

I'm in for my first Dopey Challenge! Time to get training...

So I've been lurking this thread since it opened up and am officially joining in now. My husband and I are registered for Goofy #1, my BIL is in for Goofy #3 and my SIL and niece are in for the half. My 2 kids are on the fence about the 10K, they both play sports but have never had to actually train for a run. I know it will be one of the first events to close up so they won't have much time to waffle.

Registered my mom for the 10k, but for some reason now it's only showing up on my Active account - and I can't change it to hers to do the 5k. So now I'm back in the queue in another browser. Annoying.

Edit: even in another browser when I log in with her info my info is coming up. So confused.

Yes - I had the same issue when I registered my brother. The problem seems to be when you change the billing information on the payment page. For some reason, Active.com overwrites all of the existing personal information when you do that... so weird. To fix it, you need to go to Active.com and re-update all of the personal information including re-updating the email address before you can sign in correctly again!

The rule is if you run a non-official combination of races, you get to name it after a Disney character.

Too many posts to like them all, but Congrats to everyone that got in!

I'm in for Dopey #1 (and done!)

Yep, that's me! 10K and 1/2 simply dubbed Tweedle Dumb!

Did anyone else notice there was not an option for just pins besides the goofy and dopey bundle.

Could simply be the folks who buy pins always want them all!

There isn't an additional revenue stream there .... they'll all sell out anyway.

I'm in for the 5k and half. And I got my mom in for her very first 5k!

I did notice this. I don't usually want all the pins in the bundle and only get one or two. I was hoping they would add them later.

Yeah, I just want the marathon pin (logo pin that is). The new bundles with the logo pin, medal replica pin & magnet are interesting, but not for what I want. They usually have extras of both types at the expo however at least. The 25th figurine I'm intrigued by, like will it be a vinylmation or what? I wish it had more description on it.

I was in such a hurry to click "complete" that I didn't even notice that.

Maybe when I go back for race retreat I will have a go.

Yep! That's exactly what happened. Seems sorta silly. For the 5k I ended up just leaving her info in for the billing address. Active was still happy to charge my card though.

When I signed up for the early registration I used a different email address than my active account and inadvertently created a 2nd active account. So all my previous races are under one email and my Dopey is under a different one. Does anyone know if that can be fixed/merged, or if it even matters?

Yes. Since I'm running Dopey, my wife the (rescheduled) half, my older son the 10k, and my younger one the 5k, I just bought the Dopey pack and will distribute across the family. Seemed to be the only way to keep the price down.

Don't they make you take a picture at The Expo when picking up a Dopey registration, to ensure that the same person is running every race?

Ignore this, I failed reading comprehension.

Yes you take a picture for goofy and Dopey.

I believe he is talking about the pin bundles tho.

Yeah, my reading comprehension sucks

I noticed it was the pin bundles after you replied to me. Nothing to see here, carry on!

I noticed a change with the kids races. Previously for marathon weekend they had kids races on Thursday. For 2018 Thursday is not listed as an option.

5K Sold Out

 

[princess_jamie]

I'm glad I registered DBF earlier today for the 5k rather than let him think about it..
