    The Running Thread -- 2022

    This is what I did for the 2023 NYC marathon. Just had to be online at a certain time, since the guaranteed entry is limited. Then just had to link your NYCRR account to your strava account and upload your run within the given window. I'd like to say that the registration date was the beginning...

    The Running Thread -- 2022

    Can't agree more with the endorsements from @Sleepless Knight and @PrincessV about the 2Toms Sports Shield. Had major issues with Body Glide during the 2020 Half. Went to the expo later on that day and talked with the Sports Shield vendor, and decided to try it for the marathon. I know the old...

    Chicago marathon

    Add me to the first timer, for both the Chicago Marathon and Chicago in general list. Love reading the past experiences and tips.

    Marathon Weekend 2023

    Gotcha, so I guess it may truly be random after all. All of mine I had Dopey selected, and were all over an hour, and the random 5k I selected took me right in.

    Marathon Weekend 2023

    Not in IT, but came up with a hypothesis after thinking about what worked for @Novatrix and I, where we selected the 5K option after registration opened at 12:30 and were both given less than 5 min waits. Was wondering if the spot you are assigned in the virtual queue is related to the race you...

    Marathon Weekend 2023

    I saw this link the other day. It tracks the runDisney registration status, and tweets when one of the races open. https://twitter.com/runDisRegStatus

    This was exactly what worked for me.

    Marathon Weekend 2022

    Congrats on going Dopey (pun intended)!!! Between him and RezRuns their videos really give some great pov of the races, and helped me prepare and stay motivated for my first ones.

    Marathon Weekend 2022

    Arno makes some great videos, it's crazy he doesn't get more views. Guess he doesn't hit the algorithms right. But yeah, the 2020 marathon was insanely hot. I know I just wanted it to be over.

    Hagrid’s and virtual queues

    For Hadgrid's on Saturday it was virtual queue all day. The Mummy and Forbidden Journey changed over to virtual queues later on in the day. You have to check the app, there was no warning that I saw.

    Hagrid’s and virtual queues

    Saturday was my first experience with the virtual queue for Hagrid's. Was really smooth, and minimal wait once I entered the line at the allotted time. I asked a cast member about when to do the virtual queue since we missed the first drop. She told me that there were four drop times for the...

    The Running Thread - 2020

    Thanks for this post. In the last week things have gotten a little crazy. And now I find that I will be in the area for this. I signed up, will let everyone know how it goes.

    Marathon Weekend 2021

    That may explain it. Because as soon as I got done registering three of the other screens opened up. So they could have been on a different server.

    Marathon Weekend 2021

    I emailed runDisney asking about this last week after the AP registration. The response was that it should be a standard virtual queue. But I definitely agree that there is some randomness going on behind the scenes. The screen that I got registered with was not the first screen that I got in...

    Marathon Weekend 2021

    I made it for another Dopey. I had 5 windows open. The one that got through first was an incognito window opened at 10:01. It was the third window opened. Still hard to fathom Dopey and Goofy selling out almost instantly.

    Marathon Weekend 2021

    That was crazy. Logged on at 9:44 and didn't get through until 10:20 when Dopey was sold out. Guess we'll wait to see what Tuesday brings.

    The sad sad thread of lost Champion gear days

    If I'm being honest, I was kind of ambivalent to the Champion shirts, except for the grey shirts, I hated those with a passion. I got lucky with the Disney branded shirts for marathon weekend, they all fit well. The main drawback for me with the Disney shirts was that the printed section was...

    Official 2020 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend - CANCELED

    Is it bad that I saw BTS Tours, and my brain automatically went to the Kpop group? I shudder to think how busy the parks would be if BTS came, and army got wind of it early.

    Marathon Weekend 2020

    That’s not fun, did mine on mobile, no weirdness that way.
