I'm in for the 10 miler! I usually run the 10k, but decided to challenge myself with the extra 4 miles this time

My cousin is in for the 10-miler, and I’m in for the challenge. 😎

Glad you are in!! Demand seems to be low. At all times, I tried to register to check it out and there was never a queue. Like the good ol’ days.

Got lucky this morning, for the first time I can remember, I got in almost immediately! In for the Challenge and completed registration by like 10:06AM!:D

In for year 4 of the Challenge

The distance thing was something they mentioned from day one since the three race challenge is the same as the two race challenge so they could keep the 19.3. I would love a course that goes through AK for one of these weekends that isn't the marathon.

Still waiting on the “surprise” one of these years. Distances all remain the same, and on the same days. I get we never know the themes (there’s the surprise), but isn’t that how every race weekend goes (themes revealed- surprise). The only true surprise was Everest 5K as a night race. Do a 5K trail run in the morning, 10K that very same night. Throw in a Half some years. Change the course up- give us something new. So many elements available to surprise! Instead it’s ho hum. I’m not a grouch I promise.

I’m a fan of the themes. Not sure if I’m going to register, I think I may go for this or wine and dine.

RteetzAug 02, 2024

I didn't notice that before but I am not reading much into it. I would be pretty surprised if they changed their standard set up. Disney loves to keep things status quo.

They have the castle up as the location for this race weekend. SE is up for all other race weekends. Just asking, could just be an error. But DHS is up for Yoga.
