I suppose I could do the travel agent thing, but honestly my initial excitement has really waned. I do want to get back to Disney some year for another race, but just not this year for me. There's an outside chance I could come down to cheer, but unlikely. Bummer!

Sorry to hear this Nikki. [emoji27]

5 and 10K are the same as last year which
equals FANTASTIC in my eyes!!! 5K you get
to run through Pandora at night and 10K,
You start at MK parking, get heartbreak on-ramp
at the 3K mark, then onto Hollywood studios,
Boardwalk, and then into EPCOT. This year I will
stop and take a selfie with the Haunted Mansion
Guy! Have regretted not taking one since last
year!!
Bring it on!

They released the courses already? They usually don’t do that till closer to the race weekend

If you read through each race, it
will tell you start/stop places. The
writeup is just like it was last year.

And if you read small print it says “All courses subject to change”
Not saying it will change, but they don’t release the official courses until about 6 weeks prior. There are bunch of websites that show what has been officially approved but until announced, it’s all speculation. I HOPE the 1/2 is the same course as last year. Goes through 3 Parks. The year before only went through 2.

Hey. I know this a thread specifically about the Wine and Dine Half Marathon but, since I can't head down in November, I'd appreciate some general runDisney advice and info. I'm working on a trip for the runDisney Marathon in January. I've never signed up before, so just a few questions. When I register, will it just be for the race? Do I have to get my hotel and park tickets separately, or is it done at the same time? Also, I'm assuming that there will be different races to choose from. 5K? And...just one more thing to anyone who has run both...which is more fun? The January Marathon, or the Princess Half Marathon in Feb? Thanks in advance for any info...

Hello 1000th Ghost and welcome.
When you register for a race, you are registering for the race alone. Hotel and tickets are separate. You need to have an ACTIVE.com account. That is where the runDisney site will take you and it's easier to register if you have an acct already.
For WDW Marathon Weekend in January there are 4 races. 5K, 10K, 1/2 Marathon and a Full Marathon. There are also Challenges. The Dopey Challenge which is all 4 races and the Goofy Challenge which is the 1/2 and full MArathons.
I have never been there for Princess Weekend but they do a 5k, 10k and a half marathon plus a challenge which is called the Glass Slipper Challenge and its the 10K and 1/2 marathon.
Hope this helps you out in some way. I don't like to promote any TA other than the official Intercot TA Magical Journeys but there are ones out there who can get bibs for you and make all your hotel and ticket reservations.
Feel free to ask and look up all the posts here in the runDisney forum. There are lots of pages with lots of great info

Yungbuck73 did a fantastic job in answering your
questions, I just wanted to add that I will be running
at least the 5 and 10k that weekend, and that if you
you have a DD214 that you can stay at The Shades of Green
in January, so to book that now - welcome to the crazy
addictive world of RunDisney

Both races are a blast - there are more people in January,
simply because they have the only full marathon then.

Thanks so much for the info! I think I've decided on the 10K for the Marathon Weekend and I'm signing up for an account on ACTIVE.com. I'm excited! I've always wanted to do runDisney! Not quite ready for the challenges, though. :blush:

Yes, he certainly did! I don't know what a DD214 is so I guess it's safe to say that I don't have one. I do know that The Shades of Green is the hotel for people in the military, so I'm assuming it's something to do with that?
I'm glad you mentioned that the January weekend is busier. I enjoy the crowds and it'll be fun to be in such a festive atmosphere. Can't wait!

A DD214 is discharge papers from the military.

Ah! I KNEW it was something to do with the military! Actually, we stayed at The Shades of Green on our very first trip to Disney World...a long time ago. My BIL was active at the time, and booked the whole thing. I remember it fondly. Nice place! Am I correct when I say it was the old Disney Inn? I clearly remember a Mickey shaped pool.

Yes, indeed it was! It has been renovated since then
a few times. The mickey pool is still there though!

I ended up signing up for the 5K. I'd considered the 10K, but it so happens I hurt my foot the day before registration and I'm not sure of the long term results.

That brings me to my question. When you sign up for the 10K, you need proof of time. If I've never run a race that times me, how would I provide this information? Would they just stick me in the last corral which will then provide proof for the next race?

Good luck on your 5K! Here is good news, you do not need proof of time (POT). POT is only needed for half marathon and marathon races at runDisney. When you sign up for the 10K, you enter your estimated time bracket and that’s it! Then it is up to the runDisney folks as to which corral you are in. I have entered the same time for every 10K I’ve raced and I have been assigned different corrals ranging from the last one and up to the second one.

Hello again. I have another question for you all. My daughter has decided that she wants to join me in January for the marathon weekend. Can I get more than one bib when I'm purchasing mine, or does she have to get an ACTIVE.com account of her own?
