Hi all, congrats to all who made it in this morning! I almost made it into our first 5k but sold out while I was trying to add 4th family member. When are the charity organizations usually announced?
It makes since.... the half really is not that great... the first part is just the 10k then the rest is like any race u can run at home.And yoga is gone. Wow cant say I saw the half being the last one standing...
Could it be because of the course? I’m not doing this one but if I were I’d choose flying all the way from the East Coast for the 10K over the half. There would have to be some amazing rare character bling (ie Pooh) for me to run that long, boring, parking lot/highway course again!!And yoga is gone. Wow cant say I saw the half being the last one standing...
Already been announced and some people in here have bibs already from them. Here's a link to the list: https://www.rundisney.com/plan-your...wX1AyAoZIxcfkZAtUeoBNaCc4FzXIPP3dDpRkxRNYF2BAHi all, congrats to all who made it in this morning!

Not sure how to find individual pages though...
I tend to feel that if you want to guarantee you get something, pre order it. While I agree that not getting the discount is tough, I like how they have a lot more available to preorder now. I will not be getting in until Thursday afternoon. I know I will have the 5K pins even if the Expo gets picked over before I get there.That being said I might have to make an exception with the Chills and Trills pin bundle because I'm worried if I don't preordered I won't get the pins at all with how popular NBC is.
Yeah I think I'm getting cRD Gold this year when it hopefully opens up in a few month. I would rather not deal with the stress of trying for the VQ again. Like I normally have pretty good luck with it. But I would just rather not deal with it on an innagural year.And factor in how inaugural race merchandise can sometimes sell out almost instantly at Disneyland.
Although this year I was pleasantly surprised at how much was still available when I got into the merchandise line at 6:00pm after they opened it for everyone. Although I would not plan on that being the case again this time.
You and me both! I joined silver last year with the hope of having the opportunity to upgrade to gold this year. I suspect that will be a hunger games day as well.Yeah I think I'm getting cRD Gold this year when it hopefully opens up in a few month.

Haha!!! So true. I live local to Disneyland and this will be my 3rd Half there and it's so true about the outside-of-the-park portion of the course. I understand that everyone needs to exit the parks before they open to the public, but I do wish the road part of the course was a little more scenic.Could it be because of the course...that long, boring, parking lot/highway course again!!
Also saves some stress from having to juggle 2 race registrations down to 1. Which isn't my entire incentive for getting Gold. But I won't deny its definitely a reason.You and me both!

I honestly wouldn't mind if they used the old Tink route. I know its not much but I wouldn't mind the return of Downtown Anaheim. Though who knows maybe will get Angels back nowHaha!!! So true.

She was able to do this from her account for mine, but for some reason it went to a new profile for me under my same account, so I emailed them to ask about consolidating. Also, she couldn't transfer my kids' registrations to me since they're minors, so I'm asking them about that too.I have done this many times and just did it for this race in registering a friend. Have the friend call run Disney (Disney world, as they run the events still) and inform them of the transfer to you. Then rundisney will email you a link to accept the transfer of the registration to your rundisney account
Wow, those are longer than I expected, considering the excitement for the theme. Did they expand the field, or did all the complaints from January scare some people off?Congrats to everyone who was able to secure a registration this morning! Anyone else surprised the half was the last one standing?!
In case anyone was curious, sellout times for this morning were as follows:
Disneyland Halloween 5K - 50 mins
Disneyland Halloween 10K - 50 mins
Chills & Thrills Challenge - 61 mins
runDisney Kid Races - 78 mins
Disneyland Yoga - 86 mins
Disneyland Halloween Half Marathon - 114 mins
Yeah, out of curiosity I did that too.... it is a dangerous game to play.Jumped into the queue late out of curiosity and got to the registration page with the half still open.
