WDW 1/2 Marathon is 93% FULL

[cobbler]

UPDATE 3/3/08 - The 1/2 is now 93% FULL!!

Wow. That seems so fast. I remember last year I didn't sign up until after the Minnie Weekend -- or maybe it was right before it. Well, I've sent in my registration. I hope I receive confirmation soon. They do send confirmation right?

 

[ultramickeymouse]

At the rate of 10% a week(like last week), it will be filled in less than 3 weeks.

Amazing it might be filled by early March. It took until 6/1 for the 08.

I guess that $15 increase on 3/1 is driving everyone to signup now

Eva - did you mail your application in? If so than I think they mail you a confirmation. If you signed up online then you don't get a mailed confirmation. At least that is what I was told. I am sure yours will be counted.

I signed up for the half online and recieved a registration confirmation from Active in my email. Hopefully you'll recieve confirmation soon.

I guess I need to get my rear in gear and decide if I'm going to do the half at WDW next Jan. Decisions, decisions. I really want to but I also want to do the Rock 'n Roll half in Phoenix the next week. Can't do both...unless I win the lottery.

You have to come in Jan

cobbler, did you ever get any confirmation? Still no email back for me, cash not checked, no postcard...

I mailed the application off at the end of January -- either 30 or 31. I'm only 90 miles from there, so I know it should've gotten there on time. Guess we'll see.

I second what Robert said.

I guess I had better get on this soon.

Susie - you know you want to....

ugh...You've got to be kidding me... I need it to fill slow this year. I need to gain some confidence before I sign up for this thing...

Stacie - SOme of the travel companies will still have openings where if you book your trip through tehm you can get a slot. The charities will too, but that's a lot of fundraising money. So, it won't be hopeless when it closes.

You and me both! I just got back from the doctor's and learned that I have "runner's knee." The only real treatment is rest. But by the time I rest that long, the race will be full! And the thing is, I've never done any running before! Just an occasional jog on the treadmill. So doing the half marathon would be a first for me. I don't know what to do!

Susie - you know you want to....

You're right! What am I thinking?

postesf and MaryJ - I rarely did any exercising until 6 months before the '07 half....let alone run. I started exercising in Aug. '06 and started training that October. Following a good training plan, you can do it...barring any major health issues.

With panic registration starting, I wouldn't wait more than a couple of weeks if you want in.

As mentioned Anthony Travel and Marathon Tours offer packages with race reg but require a 3 night stay at one of selected Disney Resorts.

Oh Dear!

I have two applications sitting here to mail. Do I dare mail them or should I just suck it up and pay on line?

UPDATE!

I decided to join the "panic registration" I did it on line! Hope I got Randy's time in right... (But I think I have read we can fix it when we get to the Expo)

I can not believe how fast this is filling up! I mailed my app, but have not heard anything. I guess I will have to keep an eye on the % and watch for my check to be cashed!

 

[wdw4us]

I sent mine Saturday.. I hope it gets there in time. Crap, I should have done it online. Now I'll worry and watch my account.

I sent mine on Jan. 29 and haven't heard yet either. I'm sure it's fine, I'll just feel better when I have that little postcard in my hands.
