It sounds like the 10K will start 45 minutes after the 5K on Saturday morning, so it's entirely possible to do all 3 races. And just when I thought I had decided against coming back for that weekend because of the prices...

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I think it's about $100 more than just the Half (it's $10 more than registering for both races separately). The description of the course says that it will begin in the resort, and then venture out to the streets of Anaheim (somehow worded as though people are excited about that!), so that could mean almost anything. It seems like they get about 4 miles within the resort for DL1/2 and Tink, so that's not a ton of additional miles to make up.

Originally Posted By sunNrainfall :O I just saw the price $280 for the Dumbo, and yeah...I'm going to do it anyway. I've done goofy and NYC, both were more :/ How do these people sucker me in time after time (haha). @ferret-venturing into the streets of Anaheim where you will see...uhhhh...lots of plain industrial buildings @Vicki-I hope they will reveal the medal at the Tink expo, but I doubt it. It seems like a good place to get the marketing going for it.
Originally Posted By sunNrainfall Oh yeah, has anyone seen the corral assignments listed anywhere yet (for Tink)? If it's the same as last year, I will be in A, but I don't know if it's been changed.
Originally Posted By VickiHD No corral info yet. It should be pretty soon. sunNrainfall...you are so right about marketing the medal at Tink. They know the race will sell out FAST and we will spend $$$ to run it so I think they will keep us wondering for a while. I also hope that CHASE will offer another deal this year to reg. for the DL 1/2 early. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Originally Posted By VickiHD I'm ready but woke up with a cold yesterday. Taking lots of Emerg. C, juice and Airborne--hope to be better before race day. Can't wait I've got my "wings" ready to go. Did you see the New Balance RunDisney shoes that they had at the WDW Marathon ?? Wonder if they will have any Tink version ?? I also heard NB should have more RunDisney at the expo. Have a great race everyone

I hope you guys get pleasant weather, but really can't imagine running in anything that could possibly be considered "too cold" right now As for the shoes, they sold out of most sizes on the first day. They were expecting the stock to last for the entire year (1,000 pairs of shoes), but it became clear that wouldn't really happen. They've already announced that the shoes will be available at future expos, but I don't think they would have time to make more for this coming weekend.

Originally Posted By sunNrainfall I hear you about 80+ weather for a marathon-did it in Chicago. However, it was 33 this morning at 6am. Race starts at 5am sunday and running a whole race in sub 40 weather does not sound appealing to me. Ran NYC marathon never got above 45 towards the end the temp was really chilling me. So wanting to run in the 60s doesn't sound bad to me. Good luck everyone! I'm hoping the line to sign up for the Dumbo race isn't as bad as it sounded like in Florida!
Originally Posted By sunNrainfall Annual Passholders can sign up for the DL Half Races now. I got all signed up for Dumbo!
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I also found a link for regular folks to sign up early. I'm registered for Dumbo and the 5K!
Originally Posted By sunNrainfall Thanks! Good luck everyone! Just got back from the expo and I'm ready to run! Must get up at 2:45am :O Pick up 2 people and get to the race. At the Dumbo sign-up they said they are expecting it to sell out in the first hour on Tuesday. They were keeping mum on the 10k and Dumbo medals.
