I'm confused - I click on the link and it says site is not available?? Thanks for help.

Hmmm it was up for me earlier today, but now it says unavailable...

I even printed my waivers out already. I did find it odd that they took up too pages.

 

[sherunsalltheraces]

I'm pretty sure the final Disneyland half waivers from this year were still 2 pages...more stuff to sign away now I guess! Or I just printed mine out when they originally leaked and they made them 1 page again...

Has anyone here ever walked from the Candy Cane Inn to the race start line?

I did have a reservation at the Fairfield Inn for this race, but only for Saturday night (I am only running the half). I went to change my reservation to include Friday night, but they are full!

So I did a search, and there is a brand new Springhill suites for about the same cost as I was going to pay for Fairfield. It's right across Harbor Blvd. from Candy Cane Inn. Googlemaps says it's only .7 miles--so it should be an easy walk---but I was just wondering if anyone else has experience?

Thanks!

Maybe it's because we're only a month away or maybe it's because I've never been to Disneyland so I'm a little worried. What can I expect for temperatures the morning of the race? Trying to plan what I wear for the race.

I have checked the typical weather for that time of year but I thought I'd ask everyone here as we are running early in the morning.

Temps are usually pretty nice in November. I'm planning on running in a skirt and tank top. But I will have a throw away sweatshirt with me for the start of the race cause I consider 50 to be freezing lol. The sun won't come up until after 7:00 so it will warm up then. I'm assuming I'll ditch the sweatshirt before that though, probably after the first mile.

Thanks! I'm from Northern New England and pretty used to running in cold weather so I'll definitely stick with just the skirt and short sleeves I had planned on. My cousin will be hanging out with me till I get in the corral to run so I can always keep a sweatshirt on till she goes or bring a throw away.


The link is active again for waivers. My bib number is 3927, so excited just to have that. When I printed my waiver it said age 33 and I was like I won't be 33 yet... oh right race is on my birthday so yes I will be 33. Blonde moment.

 

[wilkeliza]

Got my bib and it is in the 77xx range. Just hoping this is as big as DL half so I'm not in the last corral.

 

[aubs42]

I know there are at least 10,131 runners. A person in my group has that bib number.

Hmmm, the official site has a link for corral assignments, but it just leads to the event guide again.

Does anyone know what the link to the corral assignments should look like?

Probably a mispost I'm guessing. They should fix it soon I hope.

Ok does that race guide look different? I swear I looked and looked before for the map for the shuttles and stuff. Plus they are releasing the NB shoe looks for 2015 at this race?

They did! They updated the C2C info to match the Wine and Dine protocol at least. Plus the new race dates have been added.

Not sure about the NB thing though.

ETA: Holy crap the links are a mess. Waivers link directs you to Wine and Dine waiver page instead of Avengers page. Someone messed up.

 

[SnowMonkey]

It's been added to the Speaker Series - Friday 3pm, 2015 New Balance Styles revealed.

So, shown, not available by the sounds of it.

glad to know Im not losing my mind! This is a first race for a lot, they shouldn't have the info not updated. People aren't going back and re-reading.

Corrals working now my bib sucks for being low LOL

Feel negative but Disney didn't get it. We are a slow bunch in the back of the pack. But 3300 people in one corral and close to 3900 in the last isn't safe. It didn't work well at DLH.

 

[StarGirl11]

Ugh I'm in G. I was really hoping that the corrals had been laid out so I had made it into F.

Now I really do wish they allowed expo move ups still. I'm hoping to get a time that would have put me straight into F at Wine and Dine.

We didn't have 3k but there were 2k in the back corrals at ToT and there were no issues.

 

[aubs42]

I thought I would at least get out of the last coral. At TOT I was in the second to last. This is going to make me so nervous.

Wow! Those are big corrals! I wish they were smaller too--hoping for about 500-1000 or so.

FWIW, I ran a race last weekend (not Disney, the Army Ten Miler in Washington DC) and we had about 4,000 in each corral (they used the term "waves.") I was in the second wave, and it was pretty tight for about the first mile, but after that it was ok.
Whatever corral you are in, just try to be towards the front.
