Rival Run only is showing as sold out again. However the Kessel Run & Rival Run Challenge remains open. Basically if you really want Rival Run, you can still get it. You just have to register for Kessel as well and that gets you two extra medals than the three you were already earning.Challenge looks to be back?
Yeah, that is really confusing. I momentarily worried that I had re-registered myself for Kessel Run this afternoon after runDisney told me that I could call them and get my original Kessel Run refunded if I had already purchased a Kessel & Rival run registration.Btw, can someone tell runDisney to change the names of these challenges - they are confusing as hell. We have two 'runDisney Kessel Run Challenge' - one is only the Rival Run Half + Virtual and the other is Rival Run Challenge + Virtual.....so they need to rename the first one, that is only the Half + Virtual to something different like 'runDisney Kessel Half Challenge'.
I'm bummed that Disney bumped up the POT requirement from 2:45 to 2:30 for the HM
Yeah it's not ideal. I don't think there's a good way around it though. Star Wars Rival Run & Kessel Run Challenge gets pretty wordy.Btw, can someone tell runDisney to change the names of these challenges - they are confusing as hell.

Every time I talked to my Travel Agent, I had to make sure to write about 20 paragraphs to explain I want the Challenge that includes the Half and 10k, not just the half, and the virtual - and I was getting tongue twisted every damn time. LOL.
btw, still surprised the challenges are still available (except just the Rival Run one), and the 5Ks and 10ks! I guess no one likes Jedi anymore - I can understand after the last three horrible movies.
Looks like it's 2:30 for Marathon Weekend so it's not a brand new change but not sure it's related to COVID? Maybe with fewer spots they figured they could spread things out better that way.Interesting, I hadn’t picked up on that. Is that a newer thing recently (pre-COVID) or are the theories it’s a distancing/corral thing with COVID changes?
It was a change I believe made for Wine and Dine 2020 prior to the pandemic.Interesting, I hadn’t picked up on that. Is that a newer thing recently (pre-COVID) or are the theories it’s a distancing/corral thing with COVID changes?
There's been speculation that the club runDisney move up your corral benefit resulted in this happening. We'll see.I'm bummed that Disney bumped up the POT requirement from 2:45 to 2:30 for the HM- I had a time fast enough for the 2020 SW race, but I don't now, and it's unlikely I'll get one before the January deadline. Oh well.
Yeah. For whatever reason I hold out hope that this all just temporary until the real Kessel Run Challenge returns if and when Disneyland reinstates races. I can dream, can't I?Yeah it's not ideal. I don't think there's a good way around it though. Star Wars Rival Run & Kessel Run Challenge gets pretty wordy.
Maybe it would be better to list all the races included in each in the sub-hed.
I know! I think it’s the last time I can use my Oct. 14, 2018 POT. I need to work on running another POT half! Not sure if I can get that time back...Not sure if it’s been brought up yet, but RunDisney is certainly sensitive to the lack of recent PoT opportunities for this race weekend. The window for PoT races goes all the way back to October 1, 2018!

Yes. There are typically 3 corrals, with multiple mini waves but it could always changeI know this has been asked before, and I'm sorry that I both forgot and can't find the answer, but are there corals for the 5k?
