Official 2019 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend

[dodukes]

So the certificates link is up but when I enter my bib it says registration disabled. Are they not ready yet? Can anyone else access theirs?

Thank you!

I'll check out 1st Place Sports. Is there a preferred location (Jacksonville Beach vs Baymeadows Road)?

I moved to St Johns County a few months ago. I tried getting some running shoes from the outlet mall, but they didn't work out. Guess it's time to get a proper fitting.

I haven't been to either of those but I believe Baymeadows is their "main" location. I'm in Clay county and they just shut down the store that was closest to us to move it to another location.

So, another "Darkside" in the books.

5K - well, that's been covered. It got wet. Our group wished they had just sent us off as planned or even early. The lightening close by at the start was a bit disconcerting and confusing as it seemed like it would have been safer to go early vs when they sent us off.

10K - we all were quite happy with the characters - so much better than last year!

Half - that's also been covered. Our runners struggled with the humidity once the sun came up but kept going and felt the aid/drink stations were good and volunteers very helpful. Commented on the stinky spot coming up to AK and rather enjoyed having some people already in the parks when they were coming thru for the finish.

Interesting look at the numbers.

Big decline in total half finishers.
An increase in 10K finishers.
Decrease in the challenge as well.

Big decline in total half finishers.

I'm very interested to see what the numbers look like next year. Mostly because Galaxy's Edge being open and the very high likelihood that a Star Wars race will go through Galaxy's Edge may well see the numbers increase.

Exactly - I am expecting it to sell out next year because of this. Also factor in the new movie coming out at the end of the year, which should increase the hype as well. As much as I am devoted to the dark side, I enjoyed the "rival run" theming this year and hope they stick with that (at least until they bring rD back to DL!)

Do you have numbers for the other races? I'd be interested in how this weekend compares to them.

And it’s an anniversary year next year.

Yes I do. This one has been more comparable to Wine and Dine. Marathon and Princess tend to have the most.

I believe this is the place to look for that info:

But the information appears to have now been wiped.

No wonder I find SW and W&D to be my favorite weekends! I wonder how numbers would be effected if Princess and SW weekends were switched.

We have gotten all the other pictures from both races, so bib numbers have been entered properly. Only ones missing are her at the finish line and the couple we took with our medals just after the finish. I'll give it a few more days to see what pops up.

This was happening with mine. I had the other race photos but not the post race finish. I "relinked" the bib number and it showed up shortly after. It may have been just a coincidence, but it's worth a try.

According to the results page, there were 12,121 finishers for the half.

In looking at the corral numbers, there were about 8,000 bibs for the challenge and 7700 for just the half. That leaves 3,000 bibs unaccounted for in the results. I do not think the half or the challenge were sold out, so that would account for a lot of the missing bibs.

Looks like they upped it a little bit. Finishers I recorded was 12113. Yeah I don't think any of the races sold out for this weekend except for maybe the 10K.

5k was also sold out.

What has sold out this year? Princess sold out but then was available again towards the end. Marathon weekend, everything was available until the December when I think the 5k sold out? What is holding people back? Price? Running trend is down? People want something new? People holding out for SWGE to open? Wine and Dine sold out quick but then became available again on Sunday. I haven't checked to see if its sold out again, but seeing as how it sold so fast this year makes me think it has a lot to do with SWGE.
