I think they were just a few minuets apart. I was assigned to K but joined my friend in coral in M. Cannot recall when we crossed the start but it did move fast.
Was it 3 minuets per coral????
Of course "those people" run Disney races. They're not some separate cult. They're runners just like the rest of us. They just happen to be faster, just like there are some people that happen to be slower.Are the people in A,B,C running 5 and 6 minute miles? (do those people even run Disney races?) How far back are people who are walking/running?
I was assigned to corral E and I ran about a 9:00/mile. I had submitted proof of time being just under 2 hours.
But just because someone is in a earlier corral doesn't mean s/he will be running a fast pace. The Dopey challenge definitely change that. Dopey runners could submit proof and get into an earlier placing, but they may not even intend to run the whole thing.

I was in C at the Marathon and I can assure you that the pace wasn't near that! I would think many of the C corral runners were finishing just under 4 hrs. To answer your question, There are relatively few "front pack" runners at Disney races, as compared to non-Disney races. Some elites, but overall the races are geared for a different mix.
I think they take that into account. If you are running a half in 2 hours and someone else can run a half in that same time but is participating in the Dopey challenge then I think they are assigned a coral below just because it is assumed they will not run it their normal speed.
I would like to know if runDisney factors that in for Dopey corral placements. Just curious.
Don't the elite runners have their own corral? I thought that elites started first then A, B, C, etc
