Official 2017 Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend!

[Calfan]

Oh and I HIGHLY recommend trying on *all* of your race shirts before leaving the expo, in case you want to do a swap. I feel the fit is not always consistent.

Good advice! I didn't know swapping was a possibility.

OMG I'm so so happy I was wrong!!!

Corral C

Ok. I'm sure I'm just being really stupid, but my bib is 5503 and the bib ranges all start with 20....I assume this means I am in F with the 24506 - 25826 range??

Yes, as long as they have a shirt in the size that you want, swapping is really easy. There's a table set up right next to where we get our gear bags/shirts.

Of course runDisney wouldn't put out information before proof reading...

"In an effort to enhance our runner’s check-in process, we ask that all Rebel Challenge participants have their photo taken at the Expo with their race bibs. This photo will be used at the finish line of each race to expedite the finish line experience."

No, that link I posted was for the PDC bibs. The Tink Half bibs start with 1 and go up to 9Kish...PDC bibs start with 20xxx. I assume 10K bibs are in the 30ks and 5K are in the 40ks.

So you want the link for the half bibs, looked like you are in Corral E!

They also don't have the expo maps loaded into the guide yet! Oh, runDisney...

Sidenote: There's a $25 off DL Half or Challenge in the virtual goodie bag if anyone was thinking about it.

Love the info dump !!! Now..... I've got to step away from the computer and the event guide.

 

[The Expert]

Saw this in the event guide:
"Sunday is also Mother’s Day, so don’t forget to call mom before you run!"

Yeah... I don't think my mom would appreciate a call at 5am!!!

 

[The Expert]

Oooh also CONFIRMATION that Half runners who did Princess will get BOTH coast-to-coast medals! On page 4:

"Congratulations to all of you who will have completed both the Disney Princess Half Marathon in February at the Walt Disney World® Resort as well as the Tinker Bell Half Marathon here at the Disneyland® Resort. You will receive the much-coveted pink edition of the runDisney Coast to Coast Challenge medal. You will also be eligible for the commemorative 10-year anniversary of the blue Coast to Coast Challenge medal."
