Marathon Weekend 2022

[TiggerFreak]

Half is now sold out at around 11:25

This confirms to me that they are filling full fields for the races. The new registration system definitely limits the number of people in the system at any given time; that’s much better than the chaos of the past.

I think this year has relatively the same level of demand as in the past, we just had reduced field events last year that were pure chaos and it made us all forget that most recent years had availability for extended periods. If the 10k and Half don’t sell out today I’ll backtrack, but otherwise I’d say it looks pretty normal.

 

[Edeyore]

so you are just gonna quit with 0.3 miles to go!??!!!! You can do it!!!

You have to realize after that many miles in four days things get a little fuzzy.

 

[Disney at Heart]

Does this mean I can register now? I’ve been patiently waiting.

Absolutely! “Just Don’t Do It” never applied to you! You have to be there to plan early morning meet-ups!

Since we are in the year of the 50th, I say we round it up to 50 miles!

I keep forgetting it's an anniversary year for the half... but I'm still surprised it sold out before the 10K.

In for the Goofy, after numerous issues trying to register on my phone.

I physically am at work, but I had an out of office block on my calendar for 15 minutes before registration began to an hour after. Didn't stop my boss from calling me into his office for a meeting to review a project at 4 after. Kept me from worrying while the timer counted down.

I wonder of the greater availability might also be due to international runners not registering? Personally, I'm not planning international travel until things settle down more with borders.

Oh, by the time you’re done weaving through 4 races of running traffic you’ll be at 50 miles.

How can you possibly forget it’s an anniversary for the half as much as they’ve been hyping it?! Oh, wait…

I got dopey, my wife got marathon, and my daughter got marathon. Luckily she came over here and did it on my wife's phone because that popped up first and Sarah is younger/quicker. Probably the reason she got a much better RotR spot than me.

Interesting enough, my wife clicked the marathon link on the phone while the others we did were all Dopey. Phone came up way earlier and she registered for marathon then added me on dopey all done way before my dopey link ever was ready for me to register. So maybe if you are doing 2 people you can get lucky and click the least busy link and get in earlier?? idk

So if I'm not an annual pass holder, is it a safe assumption I should buy any park tickets I want for race weekend now to avoid being locked out after the races?

Not this time. I'm planning on Princess instead for 2022. But I can still help plan the meetups if the information is desired.

 

[Princess KP]

Registered for Dopey instead of Goofy. Guess I like the bling more than sleep.

 

[Herding_Cats]

Hmmmm....one for the Goof Troop Roving Road Party? or one for "Team Just"?

Don't forget Team Not-So-Fast!

Equal opportunity costume thread! I can attempt to do running lists of the various groups if that’s something people would want.

 

[Marebear_runs]

In for my first Dopey and got 5k for the kids! Woohoo!

I would, especially if you’re getting a package and can just put the $300 down if something changes

 

[lhermiston]

Well, there will be some lineup changes, but I'm excited to announce:

THE GOOF TROOP IS BACK, BAY BAY!

See you all for the half, full and DATW. I'm happy to run point for meetups those days.

 

[The Expert]

I'm just not so fast, myself.

Welcome to team Not-So-Fast!

 

[rubybutt]

I am new to all of this, sorry if this is well known. Will there be a kid run this year?

 

[run.minnie.miles]

I’m late to post, but I’m in for the full!
