Official Tinker Bell Half Marathon Check-In ** May 5-8, 2016 ** 5th Anniversary

[dededisney]

So I was looking through the igiftbag and had to laugh...one of the coupons is for photopass and it says it is an online special for $39 for the day...ummm that is the normal price not any "special". Wish they would take a little off of it for runners

corrals for 10K and 5K are not posted ahead of time -- you will find out when you pick up your bib at the expo

Thank you...now I won't be constantly checking to see if it is updated!

Go to rundisney site and click Tink and the runner info and scroll down the in blue it says waviers. clink on that and it take you to a page where you enter name and birthdday...click on name and at bottom of the wavier has your number. Back to the rundisney site and under corral heading in blue is corral link...one for half the other for challenge. Hope that helps

Thank you! I had looked there the other day and didn't process it because it didn't have the 10K. No big deal to wait until expo, just was getting excited I appreciate the help

Anyone else with 10K reg want to start playing the estimate game with me? 326xx is my bib number. The other thread estimated D. I'm thinking D as well.

I put in for the 12 minute mile - so hoping to be there!

maybe we'll see you in the "D" coral, we had put a 12-13 min mile also, I picked that coral, because I thought I had remembered reading somewhere that the difference between, the bib numbers was those that were doing just the 10K the first digit would be different from those doing the challenge, this the difference between our numbers being 328XX and those in the challenge being 228XX. Hope I'm right, I'll be happy to be in "D"

hoping for this too! How many corrals are there usually in a rD 10k?

The 10K goes up to F, according to the runDisney guide emailed earlier this week.

I'd be okay with E as well - just would get there early to be in the front since it's relatively large.

The 10K is hard to judge because so many people can just estimate any time and start running --- like, I run a 12:30 mile and I could have easily said "oh I'll go in at a 9 minute mile so I can be at the front for pictures!" It poses a lot of safety problems because this person is slow and could cause others to slow down and/or weave around. I hope people were honest!

thanks! I agree, I put my right pace and was hoping to not be last corral, a cushion would be helpful! I'm sorry for asking obviously answered questions, I have to call rD tomorrow I guess, I still never got an email, butchecked spam, etc . Booo.

@wehrengrizz - Our corrals for the 10K won't be posted until we get our bibs. But you can access the wavers on the Tink site.

@courtneybeth Yep! I saw that, I just was looking forward to feeling official with an email telling me race info (even though I have it all from this thread anyway ) Thank you !!

OK -- corral times are so different than last year!
Last year corral A for me with a POT that was a min slower than then one I submitted for both SW and Tink (i used the same race for both disney runs this year)
For SW I was in corral A ~~~ this year for Tink I am bumped back to B
At least for this year corral A is not as large as it was in 2015 but it was nice to be in a corral of all women

Similar situation here... I was in B for SW and my POT was 8 minutes slower than my POT for Tink and for Tink I'm in C. Not that it matters. Just interesting.

I seem to remember it being the week of the race. Like a couple days before the expo.

Nothing like last minute.
rD should know we like to plan our expo shopping.

I just keep hoping they'll start preorders on stuff. That would be awesome and so easy!

And they could plan better that way too! I dont know why they don't do it for more items (hello wineglasses!?!?!).

 

[Scottishbrit]

You'd think after all these years of the same things selling out they'd make more! Oh well, Guess I have another 10 or so days till they release stuff.

Right?

I really thought for sure after the Princess craziness they would have started that for WS or Tink, but I guess not.

Actually compared to the marathonphoto option we usually have which is appx $65 per person for a digital download if purchased in advance and $90 if not this is AMAZING as you can link 5 bibs for $40.00!! I super hope they get just as many photos.
