Official 2019 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend

Did they have any characters out?

Glad it still went on even if shortened for everyone!

Yes! They had an ewok, K2SO, Kylo, Boba Fett, Vader. And a wait times board. My family was 2nd in line to see the ewok when his line was closed at 5am.

Near the finish line was the 501st and Rebel Legion.

Good luck everyone running the 10k tomorrow. Hope to meet some of you before hand.

Running my first 10K today ( its 1:23 am). I’ve been trying to sleep since 9 pm. After lying awake for over an hour, then crazy running dream, - gave up.
While in the parks today, heard about the 5K - what a bummer. We did the 5K last year and had a blast. I pray I complete the 10K. Have fun everyone!

No sleep for me either, on my way now. Of course you will finish!

No sleep for the weak! Boardwalk guests want to race but we’ve been waiting 30 min for a bus. Don’t forget about us RD!

 

[jaxonp]

Good luck runners! No rain today!

 

[verleniahall]

Congrats! Me too, just squeaked in under my hour goal! Great race. Thanks to everyone who met up this morning, I’ll be there tomorrow too.

Good meeting a few of you this morning! Enjoyed the character stops and so much time in Epcot!

 

[MissLiss279]

Yay! PR for me too, by about 30 seconds, with 3 quick stops, too!

Fun race this morning. Got right on a bus at Beach Club at 3:30. Arrived and waited for Vader. Line took about 35 minutes. Were in our corral about an hour prior to start.

Since I’m running tomorrow, this was not going to be fast, but both our kids took off. They had never run more than a 5K, but finished a good 15 minutes ahead of my wife and I. Oldest finished top 10 in her age group and the youngest finished in the top 20 of his.

Thought everything was well organized and I especially liked the queues they had set up at the potties between the character area and the corrals. Seemed to make things go much quicker.

Not a great run for me. I was shooting for a PR and possibly placing in my age group and fell well short. I would liked to blame it on the fact that as I was warming up just outside the corrals, they closed the A corral and I was forced into B and the very back of B which meant I spent almost the entire first 2/3 of the race weaving and running on grass to pass people. This being my first non marathon weekend event I guess they do the corrals differently. I had no idea I could be shut out like that. But that wasn’t the issue. The real problem was I just lost steam once I got to EPCOT and fell off my pace which I could blame on the heat and humidity or on the fact that I am not in as good a shape I think I’m in. Oh well, still finished in the top 10 and accomplished my goal of getting a tempo run in this week. Looking forward to doing a slow easy run at tomorrow’s half.

Congrats everyone!

My first 10k is in the books! Primary goal was to finish, then finish in under a 15min pace.

I finished at 14:06, which I'm happy with because it was so humid and I spent a lot of time weaving.

Taking a break in the room before heading to AK.

So pumped today, had so nmuc fun. First 10k....10k not a runner just signed up for this race in mid March and have to say i LOVED it. I had two things today, to finish ( which i had almost no doubt i could) and not be swept. I was nervous ablut being put in last corral and that's where i enede up but it worked out great, i got there before rhe opened and was in the first wave of my corral. Ive literally only been running since i sogned ip and had done only one oratctpr eun last weekend and i bested that by 6 minutes, it was all so much fun. Ended up with 1:12:34 so very excited. Didnt take any pics until afyer the finish liel. So excited now for the wine and dine!!

Eta i got my medal engraved at the end since its my first real race

It was definitely humid today and I totally started suffering in Epcot. Sadly that’s where the majority of Photopass photogs seemed to be getting action shots so I’m not expecting those to be cute!
Sorry about your corral trouble, that sucks. You’ll get em next time! Still top 10 is pretty awesome so congrats.

Hey guys, can someone explain the “masters” category? I won my age group 40-44 for the 10K but see a person with a better time labeled under “masters” and only showing up on the overall results list. Does this mean I really placed 2nd in my age group?

Tough condition with the humidity today, looking forward to completing the challenge tomorrow.

I think Masters is anyone over 40. So you could easily win your age group and have someone older (in an older age group) finish ahead of you in the overall Masters group.
