POT (Proof of Time) Race Equivalency Cutoff Confirmed Times

[Chanty30]

@DopeyBadger or any body else that can help I am trying to find the estimated POT equivalency cutoff times for the Marathon Weekend 2026. Are these available somewhere on this forum?

The first post in this discussion thread has the most recent information.

It's the first chart in the first post of this thread. Nothing has changed from last year from a POT standpoint for the equivalencies.

Thanks also @Herding_Cats

I try to encourage this every race weekend but I would say it's not a guarantee that the current thresholds are locked in so it's a good idea to keep track of your POT and corral placement and if anyone ends up with a placement that puts them outside what we expect (and it's not a mistake by the athlete or RD) they should report it here or in the race thread.

Heard from a guy recently who was adamant that Trackshack started making adjustments to the thresholds to balance corrals against overcrowding but I didn't really buy it, I haven't seen any reports from people that have been placed outside where they expected to be outside of very obvious mistakes. That said, corral C is still a relatively new POT corral so it's more possible that they adjust the threshold there if they think it would help in any way.

For the Disneyland halloween half I was in B with a POT of 2:19, which I think is normally C?

Correct, and in that case it's usually not even a discussion, it should be <2:00 for A, 2:00-2:15 for B and 2:15-2:30 for C. Weird!

The threshold discussion is usually about what 10k times will fit in to the half marathon corrals and how they deal with half marathon POTs for the full. Sometimes how the 10 miler translates too.

Pulling from deep memory here, but Disneyland seems to have been using a different system (not necessarily conversions but just initial corral settings). So that’s why I temporarily dropped them from the charts and made them WDW specific.

That could explain what I was talking about about the guy who swore there were adjustments. I don't remember if the specific race came up in that discussion but if it was regarding the DL Halloween race then that fits. @Blue Caterpillar likely ended up in B because they thought C would be too crammed so they moved people who were closest to 2:15 up to balance it.

I ran a 54:01 10k, so I am just barely within the cutoff for A for half marathon weekends. Disneyland will be my first eligible race weekend, so I will definitely report back. I didn't realize they were using different cutoffs, but I've probably never been remotely on the edge with my previous times (a solid corral B time for half weekends).

For the 2025 Disneyland Halloween 1/2 marathon, I was placed in the B corral with a POT of 2:21

@DopeyBadger or anyone, I am about to submit my POT for Springtime. Can I use a Half Marathon POT for the 10 miler? Ran it in 1:54:53

Yes.

(ignore the part where it says “if you can run a half marathon…”, it’s a classic RD copywriting error, they really mean ten miler)

 

[Goofy2015]

Any thoughts on what a 1:54:53 Half Marathon POT would get for a 10 Miler Corral?

It’s A for the half so it should be A for the 10 miler (a shorter race).

I had a really good 10K POT sub 50, but the website does not list the date of the race, so I am having to do a Half Marathon time instead.

I just wanted to share before I forget: I had a 1:02 10k POT and it put me in Corral C for both Princess '25 half marathon and Wine and Dine '25 half marathon. Maybe that will help someone
