Official Star Wars Half Marathon Thread...Jan 15-18th, 2015!!

Anyone else getting anxious for the courses to be released? I am especially curious if the amount of park time will be a short as Avengers or more similar to Tink and the Disneyland Half.

I am tapping my toes with an irritated look on my face waiting for the course. I had my first nightmare about getting lost during the half last night. I think I would feel better knowing the route!

I'm far enough back that I just keep swimming with the runners in front of me...

 

[fairymum]

There will be plenty of people in front of me. No worries! I am just paranoid about getting swept. And lost it seems. No kidding I got lost at least 6 times in my dream last night. Ack!!!!

I got to the corals extra early last time because I was in the last one and scared of being swept!

I did a search on usatf and I can't find the course

I'm eagerly waiting to find out the same! Fingers crossed for more park time since that's why we enter these Disney races!

I have an annual pass for Disney World, but haven't bought tickets yet for this trip to Disney Land. I am debating upgrading to a premier passport, but its only worth it if I can get a good discount on a hotel. Does anyone know if there are any rooms still available race weekend with the pass holder discount, or if there is a way for me to find that information without buying a linking a pass? I am looking for a room from 1/16 - 1/19.

TIA!

Wow. I made it into corral A (I'm doing the challenge). I never thought I'd ever have that letter on any of my bibs.

I am in Corral C , Rebel Challenge, I'm happy with Corral C

 

[AquaDame]

Stuck us in D again after saying we can't provide proof for the 10K... I don't know what I have to do to move up. We always pull a time that should move us up.

 

[fairymum]

I will be bringing up the rear in the last corral for the half. You are welcome to all the people I make look speedy!!!! I really just want to finish. It's my first half.

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

Looks like I'm in D. I'm calling it the (D)ark side corral. Convenient since I'm dressing as Darth maul.

Same thing happened to my son. He has the exact same finish time (with proof) as my husband, who is doing the Rebel Challenge. DH is in "A" corral for Rebel Challenge with his proof of time, but because we couldn't submit for my son, who is only running the 10K, they put him in Corral D.

It would seem like if he has the same time as someone placed in A, he should at least be higher than D? I have no idea how they decided those 10K corrals.

 

[Wink25]

We're both in "D". We qualified for better at Avengers but the deadline had passed. Oh well.

The Courses are also up but only the 10k course will open for me. If anyone else has better luck can you please post the link here?

I am, also (on Firefox and Chrome). I can't figure that out--I've never gotten that error message before.

Thank you--that worked! (I had to track down Explorer on my work computer, though, I've never used that browser on this machine.)
