Yes. I will bring my sunglasses for the 10k.Okay - ridiculous question of the day for those of you who have done the 10k before... Will I need my sunglasses? I know we'll start in the dark because um, that's stupid early. And let's assume I'm in the last corral, planning to finish within an 1.5/2 hours (about a 14/15 min pace plus a few pictures). I've googled sunrise times, but I'd like to hear first-hand experience - did you need (or wish you had) your sunglasses for the 10k? (This very important question may or may not influence my running costume that morning...)
I have very sensitive eyes and ALWAYS bring sunglasses for the 10K.Okay - ridiculous question of the day for those of you who have done the 10k before... Will I need my sunglasses?

Somebody can organize it I'm sure! I don't think the regular people who organize HH meet ups are going to Star Wars? Haven't seen anybody around. I wouldn't be able to go but I'm sure folks on this thread can just decide to do it. There is a thread here dedicated to meet ups but again it might be defunct now, looks like it was dropped after Marathon weekend this year.
I just had to look this up... sunrise is expected to be 7:10AM.Okay - ridiculous question of the day for those of you who have done the 10k before... Will I need my sunglasses?

I was going to say the same thing! I am definitely in for pre-race meets waiting for the corrals before the 10k and half.
Oh I wouldn't let your bib affect your costume/outfit choice! Wear what you want! Thinking back to a few years ago, it's crazy to me that people are getting to decide to register so last minute. Terrific but crazy. For a while there you had to take a day off work to make sure everything was set up and ready to go at noon eastern time.
I know! I can't believe it myself. I took some time off from rD after Dumbo Double Dare in 2016. I lived in CA and just couldn't justify flying across the country for a runcation when I didn't get C2C. Now that I'm back on the east coast I figured I would run all of WDW this year and maybe Dopey in 2020. I remember the days of blocking out my calendar and hiding in a conference room just to make sure I could get registered. Now I'm risking a late registration just for a discount. lol
I don’t think it’s a dumb question, and I’m not sure it is covered elsewhere, but I haven’t run with a charity so I don’t have any help. Sorry!
One thing you should keep in mind is that some charities require you to raise a predetermined amount to get the registration. And if you are unable to raise that amount, then they will get the difference from you. I know someone who did a charity registration for a race and had to pay a substantial amount of money when she couldn't meet the fundraising amount.
