Official Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend - The Dark Side 2017

[wehrengrizz]

Hi - I'd like to register for both the 1/2 and the 5k (so I can run that with my husband) - will I be able to register for both at the same time? I know my husband has to register separately. Hopefully the 5k won't sell out immediately. Thanks!

I think it takes you to a screen where you can select your races in a row. good luck!

Done registering for the challenge for my BRF!

 

[Chaitali]

I'm all registered for the half! I think everyone's right and this one won't be so bad but I just wanted to make sure so I was there refreshing right at 12

10k is already On Hold.

 

[mcbailey]

I am registered for the 10K!!

 

[Lmichele]

DH and I are in for the 10K ...phew, it's already on hold!

 

[preciouspups]

DH and I are in for the 10k and the boy is in for the kid's mile. I had a hard time getting him registered and finally decided that I would just register it under my name and call rundisney later. Well, it then asked me for his name after. That is way too confusing.

I was already registered for the challenge, but I was hoping to convince DH to do the 5K with me. An hour later of back-and-forth texts without resolution makes me think it's not going to happen, but oh well. If it follows AP/DVC registration trends, it may not sell out (at least until he gets home tonight) and we'll see what happens then. Good luck to everyone still registering, may the Force be with you and your fingers!

Just a quick post since I'm at work (shhhh)! DH and I are in for the Challenge. We did the 1/2 and 5k last year. I'm ridiculously excited and already nervous. Let the fun begin!

 

[IrishMel21]

My BF & I are registered for the Dark Side Challenge - his first half marathon! We are both super excited!
I'm a bit sad (selfishly) but we are going to pass on the 5k this year to make sure he has enough energy in the tank for his legs for the 10k/Half. But I'm so darn excited.

I got an error during registration and I freaked out a bit. Thankfully, I was on the phone with my BF and he helped keep me calm.

Congrats to all those who got in so far!

I'm in for the 10K and me, DH and DD are all registered for the 5K. I finally convinced DH to run a 5K with us! Now to look into where we want to stay this time. We're booked for the POFQ for Wine and Dine in November, and stayed at POR last year. I'm thinking of staying at a deluxe this time. lol Decisions, decisions....haha

I see that the starting area is the Floridian with the Finish Line at Epcot. The Finish line area makes perfect sense to me, what I'm trying to wrap my head around is Logistics for the Starting Line at the Floridian. Where would they do all of that?? And has anyone seen a map of the courses yet? I tried to look at map from last years course (which I know will be different) but I can't even wrap my head around it.

10k is back open

 

[ReindeerMom]

I'm in for the Dark Side Challenge and the Kessel Run Challenge. I stopped watching Star Wars movies after the Empire Strikes Back, so I really have no idea what a Kessel is. Time to start catching up!

 

[MommaoffherRocker]

10k is back on hold LOL

 

[David Daniels]

In for the Challenge!!

I'm 95% sure it's going to be Ticket and Transportation. Floridian Rd runs right next to that giant parking lot.
