Official 2015 Disneyland Half Marathon Thread.

The only Fit2Run offer I see is for 10% off online. Am I missing something?

You're right! It does say online only. Might be worth printing out to see if they will honor.
If I remember correctly, they were handing out coupons at their booth at the last expo and I "won" a coupon at a spin-the-wheel contest for Dannon Yogurt or similar. Hope one of those options works.

REMINDER---don't forget to print out your Lasting Commemoratives bookmark voucher for the 10th Anniv DL HM version to pick up at expo if that's something you are interested in.

Since we are on the subject of coupons and discount......is it too much to ask RunDisney for some coupon love once in a while?!!

Not sure how we would get access to it. Expo doesn't open until tomorrow

A picture of the waiting area at LAX where SuperShuttle picks up??

"The white zone is for loading and unloading only. If you got to load or unload go to The White Zone."

Just got back from physio, she has taped me up ready or battle! Calf is whatever better. She has advised me to run in my new Prophecy 's I just picked them up a couple of days ago. No runs in this new model 4's, I alway train in Prophecy but run my races in my Sayonara's. I brought her both shoes she said Prophecy 's and compression sleeves. Well that's what the boss says "I will do as I'm told".
On the brighter note 1 more sleep! Printed our boarding passes! Yippee Look forward to meeting everyone at the Tiki Room.
Carry on my Prophecy 's and my Stick. Checked bag all my clothes. If something happens to it I will just have to buy more clothes there!
Hope the Oofo dealer is there plan to get a new pair.
Safe travel to everyone still in transit or waiting like me!

Glad you are taped up and ready to run! Safe travels for you and your Stick! (Hopefully nobody gets one confiscated at airport security)

Ok, it's almost 1pm California time and no one has posted a picture of the participant T yet. What's the hold up?!

If anyone does please add a spoiler tag. I'd like to be surprised when I open my bag tomorrow.

Read on MousePlanet that they are cracking down this year on phones.

Quote from the DLHM thread on MousePlanet:
"they are not letting phones in for set up. At Tink there were volunteers caught taking pics and they were escorted out and blacklisted. They want them to be a surprise."

You get there before I do, so it won't come from me.
Are the shirts short or long sleeved?

Good Luck to everyone running this weekend! Can't wait to hear about all the events!

I'm guessing short sleeved since it's a summer race. We had short sleeves for Tink in May.

Why does it matter that the participant shirt is a surprise? That is just weird to me. The shirts will most likely be short-sleeved. Last two years have been.

Safe travels to everyone. The weather is gorgeous right now, unfortunately it seems that on Sunday it will heat back up (high 88), but only a high of 82 on Sunday! Humidity seems good though (as in, you won't think it's humid if you're used to WDW weather)!!

To be fair, on a scale of 1-to-10 it's a "does not rate", but still it's fun to experience things as they happen.

 

[SgtTibbs]

Boo ya! I'm done with work. Time to head home, get to bed early and be at Disneyland in time for a late lunch tomorrow. Travel well my friends.

Where can I find that bookmark voucher?

Also, was there a virtual goodie bag with coupons for shops at Downtown Disney? similar to what they did for WDW Marathon in Jan?

It's all in the iGiftBag on the RunDisney website for the event, under "Runner Info."

Coming to you from sunny Anaheim! Had a quick bite to eat at Tangaroa Terrace before heading to our condo. Have unpacked and read all the instructions - now DH is taking a nap while I get caught up on the news!

The news is YOU ARE IN FREAKING ANAHEIM! Get out there and play!

On the topic of participate t-shirts. They're apparently telling volunteers this year they aren't allowed to take photos. And if they do not only will they not be given their free ticket for volunteering but will be banned from future volunteering.

Seems a bit strict for something as simple as participant t-shirts (especially since we haven't heard of anything like this before? Maybe it has to do with it being an anniversary year???). But it does explain why we haven't seen them yet.

 

[Ariel484]

Shirts are short-sleeved.

So jealous of everyone in Disneyland this weekend. I can't wait to see all of the pictures on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. I hope some of you do trip reports about your race weekend as well. Good Luck to you all!
