    Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend 2021 (April 15-18, 2021) - Now Virtual Only

    Yeah, that's kinda what I figured. Just wasn't sure if this year would be different with respect to "race weekend." Thanks.

    Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend 2021 (April 15-18, 2021) - Now Virtual Only

    Sorry if this has already been asked, but does anyone know how they're doing the virtual weekend? Meaning, do you have to run the virtual 10K on the same day as when the race would have been (for example) or is it more like the old virtual half of the Kessel, where there's a window of opportunity?

    Official 2020 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend - CANCELED

    I'm in again this year, and so is my dad probably. Turns out at 70 he's discovered that he loves running after all! Fun fact... found out recently that I ran the challenge this year, possibly last year, and at least one full Ironman on a cracked femur. (Undetected stress fracture!!) I was...

    runDisney and Trip Insurance?

    I haven't done it for runDisney, but I've done it for Ironman races that I've had to miss due to work commitments that cropped up. I use Allianz and have made two successful claims. Like Bree suggested, always check the fine print, but this company worked for me and my situations. I'm...

    Part one of the kessel run... survive the line! This might actually be 12 parsecs lol.

    First WDW runDisney event - WDW Marathon or Wine and Dine?

    I think the only true way to figure out which races suits you best is to do all of them. :rolleyes:

    Just adds a little adventure to things, lol. If anyone is connecting through Atlanta tomorrow morning and you see me (blonde girl with a black-and-red Ironman backpack) say hi! Now to power through this work day.

    Official 2019 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend

    In my (limited) experience Disney will almost always release *some* last minute bibs. We got my dad into the 10K last year after they sold out on the website... twice... following his completion of the 5K. We just kept refreshing the app and every so often there would be availability. We did...

    princess weekend 10k men

    I think if you look at most races, Disney or no, the top time is generally a male. That's why they usually "crown" a male and female champion. The overall winner is not the male, but they specify overall male and female. Two different categories. As for backlash regarding males specifically...

    We all have our "thing." :) I still haven't looked at them so I can't comment one way or the other regarding design choice.

    See? This is why I don't like advance merch/medal info, lol. ;)

    Official 2019 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend

    Personally? Nope! That's half the fun! Plus if it sucks (like one or two of the medals last year that I didn't really care for) that affects my motivation for doing the race, as crazy as that sounds. So I'd rather just be surprised at the end. :) Edit to add: I do a lot of Ironman races...

    Personally I don't like to see the medals ahead of time, I like the surprise of it. (Most races I do never have a medal preview so that was an adjustment for me with Disney!)

    Official 2019 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend

    My Tinker Maul/Tinker Sith concept might have to take a pass this year. I've done multiple dye baths of my old Tinkerbell costume this weekend trying to turn it black, and the best I have so far is like an Army OD green. The wings turned out freaking awesome, but the dress... not quite so...

    Official 2019 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend

    Can't hurt hitting the expo early and haunting the "last minute registration" booth. I can't remember what Disney officially calls that thing, but it's pretty obvious when you get there. I've had luck in the past scoring "fall out" slots for friends and family that were with me and decided at...

    Official 2019 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend

    Well. After a full three weeks of recovery following Ironman New Zealand (extra buffer time to let a new tattoo heal), just got my first recovery run in on Monday. Talk about not such a great run! To those worrying about last minute training... don't. It's natural this close to the race to...

    Dopey 2020.....

    Count me in! I've got 2 or 3 full Ironman races this year (one is pending...) so figured I'm good and ready to try my hand at this challenge. Now the real trick is trying to convince my family to sign up for parts of it with me. ;)

    Official 2019 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend

    I'm officially ten days out from my BIG race for the season, but I find myself really looking forward to Disney instead, lol! Really though I'm kinda freaking out. This will be the first really big deal international race I've done. (Sorry for the hijack, but you runners get where I'm coming...

    Official 2019 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend

    What PrincessV said! Also, depending which race you're doing, plan on getting to the corrals early. The longer the race distance, the earlier you will want to be in order to navigate the crowds, use the bathroom, attempt to get a pre-race character picture if you so desire, and get into your...

    Official 2019 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend

    Haha remember that. I saw a couple of those last year too, If I recall, one was leading a group of TIE fighters. I gave the "pilots" bonus points for crossing the finish line in formation. I was also running behind Cruella D'Sith that race. That wig looked... warm.
