Marathon Weekend 2027

[Baloo in MI]

Thank you for that! I actually got in for MW 2026 through an alert in July. Figured if I got locked out at registration I could always try my luck there again! Not ideal but there’s a chance, right? I would do a charity bib but I’m the absolute WORST at asking people for $$. Even with it being a good cause. For my kids fundraisers, I would give a large donation to the school, just to avoid asking people to donate.

Absolutely the same! In 2022 I got a spot on a fund raising team for the NYCM. It was for a cause effecting my own family and I had almost a full year to raise the needed funds. I did it and got to run the marathon, but I was on the struggle bus from the beginning to end.

You guys are freaking me out on securing my marathon bib!

Same! I think I'm settled on trying for the 10K and marathon, but I may do the marathon first just to make sure I get it and then go back for the 10K if I can. I really don't want to go the charity route as I did it in 2024 and it was hard raising the money.

This weeks W&D registration has definitely made me nervous. I’m only looking for the 10k & M so I went ahead and secured my 10k bib through SCF since the 10k will probably sell out before the Marathon. That should get me a little bit of breathing room for registration day. Although if I miss out on the Marathon I will be really sad.

SCF has very reasonable fundraising amounts so I chose the upfront payment option since I’m not big on asking people for donations. Big introvert here. And I think I would rather have that money going to a charity rather than joining CrD and them getting it. I know there are other benefits to CrD but it’s not the route for me right now.

Now I just have to get through the next month of stressing out about registration. It’s always been stressful but knowing we have a community here that rallied around everyone did help. I’ve gotten in before on an emailed link and I’ve been able to help others out as well. Knowing that isn’t an option anymore really takes the stress level up a few notches.

It’s Dopey or nothing for me. I’m taking the day off and I’ll be ready at my computer. I got Eras Tour tickets for my daughters and I once upon a time, so I know I can get it done, but the chatter here this week is making me a little nervous.

I won’t be signing up for Dopey, and still not sure what I will be signing up for, but I’m of a very similar mind. I’ll be there on registration day going for whatever races I’ve decided on; and, if I don’t get them (or don’t get all of them), so be it. I’m confident I’ll get what I intend though.

My sister’s Dopey registration is the only registration that’s essential and, unless they stop sending an early link to Perfect Dopey runners, that should already be done.
