Marathon Weekend 2022

[Marathongirl30]

FYI-we drove from POFQ, left at 3:26 and was parked by 3:40.

So… security is interesting. They are funneling everyone through 2 security scanners at the Epcot entrance area. I drove, but we had to walk all the way to the end of the bus line…

ETA: so I finally get to the front, and the drivers are merging near the scanners - which makes a lot more sense.

I’m new to the 5k so this whole drop off seemed quite different to me.

Bummer that there aren't any characters for pre race photos. Same as W&D but I was hoping for Marathon Weekend we'd get some. Curious to see if they have any after. No post race photo with Dopey will be a bummer

Or they used the old Corral A delineation which was at 1:44:08 or faster for a HM (3:40 marathon equivalent). Can anyone below 1:44:08 POT chime in to say whether they ended up in s1 or s2?

I’m in s1 with 1:36 half POT

I didn’t

I’m new to the 5k so this whole drop off seemed quite different to me.

I didn’t ride the bus, but where it looked like they were dropping off and the way where we walked was different than when I have run in the past. W&D 5k may have been like this, but I didn’t run that one.

I’m directionally challenged. Couldn’t find you guys.

Has anyone tried to add the bib numbers for photopass/have tips on how to successfully do so? My husband has tried everything and can’t get it to work

I put all my codes in this morning for myself and DH through the Disney app. You have to manually enter the code, starting with the year, it’s all on the back of the bib. And if your bib number is less than 5 digits you put the proper amount of 0s at the beginning to make you bib number 5 digits (I.e. 00217 if you were bib 217.)

things we can apparently do wrong on this trip:

go to Walmart—went to the wrong one last night which ended up costing us almost 90min (between the extra driving and the horrible service at the first one we went to where we were completely ignored for 25min.)

wake up on time for the 5k—DH set his alarm last night but I guess he didn’t turn it on or something and he didn’t wake up until 3:30 this morning. He was saved by the fact that we had laid everything out, had his bib pre-pinned, etc so all he had to do was get dressed and get out the door.

what will today bring?!

Does anyone know if the marathon weekend jackets were still available end of the day? Just trying to decide if I should go back to the expo for the club runDisney pre-entry today.

Good news updates: daughter tested negative after possible exposure and has had 0 symptoms. Hubby and I are also sickness free. Now the only thing in my way is the snow coming into the NE tomorrow morning. No doubt I’ll be delayed, but I’ll be at the airport in 24 hours! Can’t wait! I might even make the meet up!

 

[stitchsnk]

I am also sitting here refreshing the disboards living through everyone’s 5k posts this morning!! Congratulations to everyone running this morning!

 

[MissLiss279]

Reporting… there are chips and cheese in the food box!

 

[opusone]

Good 5k this morning… so much fun running with my daughter on her first in-person runDisney race!

 

[BigEeyore]

Congrats 5K-ers! Flying down later this morning - so excited! Almost hoping that most of the merch is gone at the expo to save me $$

Currently in a loooooong line for cogsworth and lumiere

I’m directionally challenged. Couldn’t find you guys.

I never saw anyone close to what I believed to be the meet up spot. So maybe I’m also directionally challenged or no one came?

Same! Never met Cogsworth before so it's totally worth it. I think we're on track for a personal worst 5k!

Same. Easily the longest line I've ever been in during a runDisney race. I should have started a timer just to see how crazy it is.

I didn’t really go look for it. I’ll probably try to find the group for the half and maybe full.
