I thought I read somewhere there were discounted tickets for marathon Sunday available for runners. Anyone have info on this?

On the RD website, there will be a link to purchase tickets. You will need the "code" from your registration email. I found that it wasn't a great discount if you were wanting more days... but for just a few, it might be worth it.

I went to sign my wife and I up for 5 k. It would have been our first run. Sold out if someone cancels can u transfer or get on a list?

Have you checked the charities that can get you in the raise. For the 5k I would imagine you only have to raise a couple hundred bucks. Sounds like a lot but its not really that hard with e-mail and facebook.

 

[Ram7730]

Awesome! I'll book as soon as I can, when the cheapest airlines for me start offering those dates. I'm coming from the Philadelphia area. I like AirTran or SouthWest. Also looking at Frontier out of Trenton this year. It will be my first Marathon too

How far are you from AC? Spirit has some pretty cheap flights too. Tickets already available

I rechecked my registration e-mail and it didn't have a code like they did at the PHM last year. I guess I'll call or e-mail RD

OMG, you are right! I just checked mine and found none... BUT there is a link to book a rundisney package. Is that new? I wasn't aware that you could book without calling.

About 2 hours from AC. Not worth it I don't think. I'll take a look though, thanks

No discounted tickets for marathon weekend! Only race that doesn't do it.

I have heard rumors if you go to WWOS the day of you can get discounted tickets. Anyone ever tried this?

You use to be able to buy discounted tickets at the expo but my last trip for marathon weekend was 2011.

Any new info as to whether they will be pushing the deadline back to email pof for the marathon? The cut off currently takes place a few weeks shy of the W&D and would love to be able to use that race for time.

Yes this was true for 2012.

 

[kmchisholm]

Thanks - did you just go over there after the race or could you buy during the expo. Any idea how much they were discounted?

RunDisney still shows Nov 1st as the deadline for proof of time. I'd just keep checking back on their website.

In 2012 they were 56 or 60 for a 1 day

I keep losing my way on the rundisney site. Maybe someone here can help? What are the included resorts for Marathon weekend?

Do you mean Host Resorts? I believe all of them are, someone correct me if I'm wrong!

You're correct.

Yes, thank you. I couldn't get the word "host" into my head, obviously!

And good to know!

You're correct.

Thanks for the extra vote of confidence that they are all host resorts. Excellent.

 

[FloridaNative8]

You're correct.

Woooooo!!!! Got something right today! Only took me 8 hours but I did it!
