POT (Proof of Time) Race Equivalency Cutoff Confirmed Times

[flav]

I don’t know why these companies specialized in racing photography cannot make us look better on pictures. We have amazing free photos from local races. runDisney generally turns out great too. But I can never convince myself to buy pictures from other vendors because I can’t find one that I like

POT screen for Marathon Weekend 2025

I know I said this on the MW 2025 thread also, so 5 hours for the marathon. I was mistaken when I posted over there, I thought it had been 5 before, but it looks like it was 4:30:00 before.

What are the options in the race distance drop down? I’m assuming 10 miler, half, and marathon since the website was updated to remove 15K.

What does everyone thinks that this means? Are they adjusting the times for Corrals A and B or will runDisney require a POT for Corral C?

The expectation is that Corrals A, B, and C will all be POT corrals. You can see the first post in this thread for the estimated cutoffs, maintained by the lord and master of all RunDisney Data, @DopeyBadger

I think we're getting three POT corrals.

So based on the movement of the POT standard, I have a qualifying time that I am guessing puts me in C; a 4:41 marathon. I am going to push the 10 miler at Springtime Surprise and am lining up a June half in case I need that in an effort to get into B.

Is it worth putting in the 4:41 on registration day or just select the first none POT option. The latter is faster, just not sure about if we can change POT’s later. Sadly, my last submitted POT was 2020 so not sure anymore.

The recommendation on the boards is always to click the first non-POT and go back and edit it afterwards, since that's faster.

I’d add to @azrivest and say to edit the POT immediately after confirmation of signing up by editing it on the registration in your rundisney profile. Just so you don’t forget to update it in advance of the cutoff after choosing the first non-POT in the moment of registering. Same day while it’s still at the front of your mind.

OMG! Can you even imagine working you butt off to get a POT and forgetting about submitting your proof until after the deadline? I’ll laugh at myself, but I could easily see having a nightmare about this scenario.

I think this happens to more people than you would expect

Hi all, newbie here. I'm going to be trying for the MW Marathon next week, and just had a POT question. I'm also running the London Marathon in a few weeks and hoping for sub-4.30. I know London isn't USATF certified, but would Disney accept any prospective London time as POT?

Generally speaking, Disney will accept any officially measured and timed race with online results they can verify. Otherwise, they’d be alienating all the non-US runners. Good luck in London!!

I had hoped that would be the case. Thank you.

I upgraded to the Fairytale Challenge yesterday with Kelsie's Hope. What would the corral placement be for a 1:01:36 10K?

It's close to the cutoff of 1:01:00 that we've seen them use before. So if they use three POT corrals, then likely Corral C (last POT corral), with a slight chance at Corral B.
