Marathon Weekend 2026

[DodgerGirlMissy]

How do I get in on this $200 GC DVC tour offer? Do i need to have gotten an email or can I just set up a tour when I'm there?

DVC called me (I'm guessing they got my info from my resort reservation). You can try calling them at 407-827-6116 to schedule a tour

I have Goofy bib 307xx, so I’m guessing corral F…

 

[GuinnessRunner]

Dopey bib# 211xx with HM POT of 1:59. That was B last year with same POT and expect B again this year.

I’m 132xx for the marathon with a 5-5:15 estimated pace. Hope that squeaks me into D like it would have last year. It’s getting real!

I got a call from them, too. But nothing about a $200 gift card was mentioned...

I missed a call from that number and they didn't leave a message. We're already DVC owners so I'm curious if they would have given us the same offer.

Posts on rD socials this morning about the new core collection, dropping at the Disney Springs Co-op on Friday. I'm assuming this will also be at the expo, but maybe not?

I should be in coral C based on my POT, but my bib is 2269x, which is just beyond the C threshold last year. I guess I'll find out Wednesday.

There's a new runDisney collection coming to Marketplace Co-Op at Disney Springs

Jinx!!

Bib numbers for my unofficial Happy Challenge
(all 8-10mm estimates and Club rD Platinum, so I'll be in B for everything unless that has changed)

5K: 707xx
10K: 606xx
HM: 411xx

My 5k bib is close to yours, so if we're in the same corral, wanna "run" together?

I cannot believe all of the 'jinxes' we are experiencing in the lead up: We both had a few nagging pains that we are working through, we both feel a little under the weather; over the weekend I had to track down a dentist to look at a possible issue - luckily not a cavity or anything like that, but gave me antibiotics in case it does turn into something; this morning while getting ready to head out for our final run, a loud BOOM and the power went out - we have all electric including heat and the well for water, this is while we are doing all of the laundry so we can pack, luckily it was back on when we returned. Then this just happened:

Not going to say who did it, but I am just hoping this is not some foretelling of doom to come. Maybe it's symbolic of what happened during last year's attempt (Erika fell, broke her wrist at mile 20 and we had to DNF). Or maybe just a signal to buy this year's mug.

Just crossing all fingers that we get on the plane safely tomorrow.

Bad dress rehearsal leads to a good performance.

Can someone remind me when they will post the race shirts for Marathon weekend? Is it Tuesday? I really wish they'd post them earlier as I'm trying to pack and coordinate. Yes, first world problems, LOL.

Worth noting that they had just added the C POT corral last time, and a lot of people who didn't have POT were starting to make a push to get in. There's a good chance that this year C is just bigger with more people qualifying.

It's always day before expo opening, they film it at ESPN so it's probably something they're doing as everything is set up and unpacked.

Dopey bib #209XX with a half POT of 1:55...pretty sure I missed corral A by about 100 numbers which makes my bathroom stop during that half even more unfortunate.

Absolutely! I'll be in B with my Club bump but I have no agenda for the 5K and happy to "wait" for you in a character line.

For me, doesn't matter. Can't wear a shirt before completing its race (cue the DW saying "So there is something you are superstitious about!". Nope, just won't wear it before it has been earned.), and won't wear them until after hemming them to short sleeved. So my wardrobe coordination is with past race shirts. YMMV (and probably will).

 

[fatmanatee]

Actually someone here posted the rumored race shirt colors right? I'm trying to find the post but I think it's several pages back.

EDIT:

Shirt colors:
Dopey - orange
Goofy - light color (whatever that white/gray/light blue thing is now)
Marathon - teal
Half - dark magenta
10K - dark yellow
5K - lavender

Thank you! I thought it was Tuesday. But I haven't been to MW in a few years.

I don't wear them until after either--also superstitious. But I love the long sleeves! Much rather wear long sleeves than sunscreen

For anyone else interested in rocket launches, there are several Falcon 9 launches over the next week:
Jan 8, 1:29 pm
Jan 10, 1:34 pm
Jan 14, 1:01 pm
Should pretty much be turn and look up and east at the appointed time.
