Marathon Weekend 2027

[KCO5988]

I am supposed to be helping my wife try to get in for the half marathon on registration day. Sounds like it is going to be harder than years past. My neighbor also asked me last night to help him out register for Dopey and send him links like I did last time he was able to register. I am going to tell him he is going to be on his own for registration this time around. LOL

If you're both at home and you get in first, you can tell him to run over to your house to register after you've secured your wife's bib

I'm also considering going through a charity now. On one hand, I don't really have many people to ask to donate, but on the other hand, I don't want to miss out on registering.

I went on the charity page and saw this for the first time, does anyone know what this is all about?

Ohh if you thought the setting aside of race spots for mediocre but connected influencers was bad wait until Adventures by Disney pushes aggressively into this space!

Based on the extended spots for the 5k, that’s the one I would leave for registration day..
(assuming the 5k info of W&D remains valid)

Is there one of those races that you'd be ok with missing? If so, that's the one I'd leave for registration day. Otherwise for me personally, it'd be a toss up between the half, which has historically been the one that stays open the longest, and the 5k, since they've added an unknown number of extra bibs.

I'm leaning toward leaving the 5K to registration day. It's probably the one I'd be least disappointed to miss, and the extended field helps. I also think the 5K at MW is a less attractive stand-alone race for the general public if it isn't right after NYE. I don't love the Half, but when you're not doing the marathon, it's hard to give up that run down Main Street and the castle pic.
