runDisney Facebook Page

I know a lot of stuff is up in the air as far as races go but I'm really surprised that runDisney has posted nothing on their Facebook page since April 19th. They could've posted inspirational stories about runners, featured past races, etc. Can't their social media manager work from home? Don't they want to have their brand stay top of mind? Does anyone else find this surprising?

A lot of the RunDisney staff was furloughed.

Makes sense but I'm surprised they didn't keep the social media aspect to help keep them in the public eye.

Given that every race they’ve opened registration for since the pandemic started has sold out within minutes, I think they’ve remained in the public eye just fine. Anything they post right now is going to be met with a pointless tsunami of “is race x still going to go on” and any number of other unanswerable questions, regardless of the topic of the post. It’s probably better for them to be on the quiet side right now.

You make a good point.
