Marathon Weekend 2022

[The Expert]

Okay, so I may or may not have just booked a DVC studio for Jan 5 (to add on to my existing Jan 6-12 booking) because I'm considering going from 10K + Marathon to Dopey. GULP!

This is exciting news! Glad I guessed the right dates when we booked it. Now my concern is they show early registration for the ridiculously overpriced money grab that is club runDisney but no early registration for passholders or DVC. Hope they aren’t nixing that to get more club members.

eta: just checked passholder page and it was updated, early registration for runDisney is no longer listed, it was there this morning with past event dates

They announced the dates for 2022. Marathon weekend will be January 5-9, 2002.

2002?? Is that your typo or runDisney's?

Maybe it’s back to the future themed?

Looking for POT info when I realized I was looking at the wrong event and it hit me! All this talk of MW and I just now noticed W&D is happening too! Off to refresh another thread, check my calendar, and put more $$ on my gift card

Random question about registration fees. It's just the 6.6% processing fee and no tax added to the price, right? It's been way too long since I registered for a race.

Hey guys! Lynae and I had a trip booked for that weekend already, just hoping!

Mine, but I did get my proofreading skills by interning with them.

As someone who is just getting into running, my wife and I are looking at running the 10K over Marathon weekend. I am curious as to what everyone's opinion is as to what the odds are for availability on July 27, seeing as how I'm not a ClubRunDisney member?

It's going to be tough to get into the 10K I suspect, but I don't think there are huge numbers of Club runDisney folks. If both you and your wife are planning to run, I'd have both of you on the computer at exactly 10 am Eastern and each try to get in. Once one of you hits the registration page, then just register both of you on that computer. It won't be impossible by any means (likely not as hard as getting a Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group), but with pent up demand and the 10k being a very popular distance and a smaller field, it's going to require good timing and some luck to get registered I suspect.

Yeah we totally missed the first Star Wars 10K because it filled up with people just doing the challenges. Really sucked. Hopefully they’ve increased the fields on them. It would bring them a lot more runner (which equals a lot more $$$).

Correct. Unless something has changed it should just be the processing fee added to registration.

Thought this might be some helpful info when considering rate of sell-outs. Hard to say how it'll compare to 2022 though.

***A few of the races opened momentarily between April and October (like 5k in August). Likely because they were breaking up unsold challenge bibs.

So excited for Marathon Weekend to return! I've had my DVC studio booked for a few months in anticipation, and actually went for a run last night for the first time in months (it's hot in Texas, okay??)... just felt like there was something magic in the air!

 

[xjillianpaige]

YAYYYYY planning on the marathon!!

 

[jmasgat]

Aaaaahhhhh.......that feeling you get when you realize your last HM was run in 2:00:10 Not sure it would be in the POT window, and I was using it as a marathon pacing run, but retrospectively I'm a little annoyed.

Too early to say until we see the marathon POT cutoff. But a 4:15 marathon cutoff would be an estimated 2:00:42.
