Official Avengers Super Hero Half Marathon Weekend 2014 Thread!

If the past is any indication, they have trouble keeping the counter updated in real time on the website when it's selling so quickly. Once they get over 80% it will probably show up on Twitter faster and more reliably than on the website -- seems that's what they did for the 5k.

 

[ImDMous]

I am in for the 5k and DH is in for his first Half!

 

[faneuil]

Just got a tweet that the 5K is full.

5k showing 93% on website, but they've tweeted out that the 5K SOLD OUT.

I'm registered for both the half and the 5k. I spent ten minutes clicking the register button at the top of the page before realizing I then had to click on one of the races to actually register. Oh well, at least I'm in, although I haven't received my confirmation email yet.

Yeah, now on their facebook page it was updated at 12:25 that 1/2 is 75% full and 5k is sold out!

poor little progress bar. It tries so hard to keep up. But the balloon ladies will beat it to the 100% line.

DD and I are in for the 1/2 and the 5K. So excited for a girls' weekend!

Wow 5K sold out in 30+/- minutes

Good info to have when I go to register for the Goofy next month.

I got in with no problems. I ordered a pin as I always do for Disney races but last time I ran they didn't offer necklaces. Anyone know what the necklaces typically look like?

Going to have to keep up with this thread as it's my first Disneyland half and my first Disneyland trip altogether.

 

[disneygrlkat]

I'm in for both! This will be my first trip to Disneyland and first Coast to Coast! I've been dying to go to DL for so long, can't think of a better reason than to run!

I can't believe how quickly the 5k sold out! I was sure the half would go first

How much was the discount and what did you have to enter to get it?

It was $15 and it's the 1st 4 digits of your card.

 

[happysummer]

I was registering for the 5 k and had all the info and hit process and it did not go through because it was full.
I registered for the half first thinking that would get full first.
This will be my first ever half marathon race, I was hoping to do a race in Disney world but Disneyland is closer.

Is there any new runners or first time Half marathoners doing this race?

 

[kappyfamily]

1 hour 22 minutes in its at 95%

You'll have a blast! I've done several races in both DL and WDW, and I actually prefer the DL races! I'm sorry you got shut out of the 5K~ I know I would be disappointed too. You'll have a great time with the 1/2!

 

[JRM393]

I signed up for the 1/2 right when it opened. Glad I did it right when it opened. I got back from my lunch and it was already 95% sold out.

This will be my first time doing a DL race. I've done a number of the Disney World ones so I am pretty excited. With a 4 year old and 2 year old we are certainly looking forward to seeing the west coast park for the first time! I am mostly excited to go home and tell my kids in November we can go see Lighting McQueen!

Everyone that has posted since this morning is now updated on the OP!

Sold out. It took a little longer than I expected.
