Official Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend 2016 Thread (Jan. 14-17, 2016)

So jealous of everyone that got registered!!!! My annual pass is expired and I won't be getting another until August, so I'm in with the masses at this point. Hoping Acclaim will work out their issues soon and I can still get our bibs before the 16th!

 

[BwoZoo22]

Would say that they have reached capacity

I think you are right. They are all on hold now, except the half. Crazy. Six minutes. The page says, "If a category shows “ON HOLD”, time for a deep breath. There’s a chance it could become available again." Which I think means I get to fight the general masses for a RC slot. Bummer.

Everything is on hold except the 1/2.

 

[bumbershoot]

Wheee!

In order, did the 10K for me, 5K for DS (because I could sign him up while inside my active account), then had to clear cookies as I couldn't see how to log out of my active account, and then had to rush rush to get DH into the 5K! Whew!

 

[BwoZoo22]

ARGH! I got in and registered but when I went back to register my partner, it had all closed again! The stress!!

 

[Dis_Yoda]

I don't feel like dealing with the general masses so I called Get Sports and got my RC registration done that way. Had to book at least a 3 Night Stay + 1 Day Ticket but seeing as we need 7 Nights at the Hotel, works for me!

 

[Beamo2014]

Don't stop trying if you don't get in.....I kept refreshing and I was able to get myself in for the 10k. YAY!!!!

Kids Races are still on hold though

It is SUPER annoying that you cannot register a spouse with yourself. It worked out for us with only the Half, but I am sure I would have only gotten one complete registration if I was trying for the challenge. DH is a teacher, so it's not like he can be logging in at registration time... I really think you should be able to register yourself and one other person...

 

[BwoZoo22]

5K and 10K are open again...

EXACTLY!

 

[crankycat]

I kept refreshing to see when everything was listed as "on hold." Rebel challenge (10k Sat/half Sun) sold out in 7 minutes, Kids races in 9 minutes, 10k in 12 mins and 5k in 16 mins.

5k and 10k came back up momentarily and was "on hold" again.

 

[WDWKid4Life]

They all re-opened, and have been put back on hold. Not sure how long they were re-opened though since I jumped on it and registered for the RC. By the time I was done they were on hold again.

 

[StartedByAMouse]

Somehow, I talked myself into registering for the half again. Since I'm already training for the Disneyland Half, and because there is still availability, I think I'm going to sign up for the Avengers Half as well and make it a trifecta. RunDisney really is a disease and I've got it bad.

 

[edna mode]

It seems to be every 10 minutes give or take a few that they put it on hold - i registered myself and then tried to register my sister and it said on hold. We figured out that on hold didn't mean SOLD OUT, a few minutes later the various runs were changing which were on hold and then open again. We got both of us registered for the 10K. so keep trying

 

[dec2009mama]

I am in!!
Me = RC
Hubby = 5K
Kiddo = kid race
I bought the pin package and merchandise package as well -- i saw the jacket in there as well.....not sure if I need one though, might go back after general registration opens up to see if it sells out.
Does anyone have a picture of the one from this year?

 

[spideymike]

EXACTLY!

As much as we'd like that, I don't think I've ever seen any race registration that allows you to sign up more than one person for a race. It's frustrating, I'm sure.

 

[spideymike]

I sure wish they'd show us what the jacket looks like

 

[Ariel484]

runDisney tweeted that early spots for the Rebel Challenge and the Kids Races are gone. The tweet is about 7 minutes old.

 

[BwoZoo22]

I don't think I've ever seen any race registration that allows you to sign up more than one person for a race.

Active does for their non-Disney races. There is always an add another registration option before you pay. I don't think provides any benefit to runDisney, and they don't want too many slots taken by one person, so they won't offer it, I'm sure. Sigh.

They used to offer it! I think they've taken it away within the past year or so - it definitely used to be a thing because I used that to sign my husband up for the JJ5K in 2013 after signing myself up.
