On a different note this means there will be 4 anniversaries next year. Dopey is going to be really popular!
Just ran into a couple whose daughter was registered to run and they are PISSED. "They just don't want to spend the money! We've been here all week spending money!"
Full, 10K, 5K, Dopey, and the half if You count that could be 5.On a different note this means there will be 4 anniversaries next year. Dopey is going to be really popular!
That would be me, but I'm okay with the decision. I think the compensation options are fair too. And bundle up all of you marathoners. It's going to be chilly on Sunday.Oh that stinks. Lot of people running only the half have to be really disappointed.
People who don't understand Florida Lightning will always come up with crazy reasons. I heard a lot of pissed off comments during Wine & Dine 2015 at the after party (and my husband who was running heard a lot of people being super naive at ESPN).
I understand being disappointed. I understand crying from that disappointment. Being pissed is just silly as its for your own safety.
Yup, that's what I said....we'll get a new 20th anniversary half medal - an uncursed one.On a different note this means there will be 4 anniversaries next year. Dopey is going to be really popular!
Something ln the range of .8 miles.What is the distance around Crescent Lake?
What is the distance around Crescent Lake?
Fingers crossed to get a marathon entry and then run my half, stop at AKL and wait on the bus
We still get our medals, I do know that.Wonder what the will do for Dopey and Goofy?
Yeah, I didn't know what to say to them. Just backed away slowly...People who don't understand Florida Lightning will always come up with crazy reasons.

I agree. Above and beyond in my opinion.I really do appreciate the refund options even with my intense disappointment. They didn't have to do that.
Agreed. I was expecting nothing - and we aren't entitled to anything from runDisney. This is generous.I'm so sorry folks. I know this much be such a major bummer after all the hard work that has been put in.
I will say, though, that at first glance I'm pretty impressed by the compensation options offered by RunDisney. The one half I was registered for that was cancelled for weather (a forecasted brush with a hurricane that ended up missing us entirely), the offer was 25% off the next year's race. Granted, that race was nowhere near as high profile as this one, but RunDisney seems to be doing much more than they are obligated to do. It'll be interesting to see if they have any additional offers for the Goofy/Dopey folks.
I was totally prepared for them to announce a shortened course. Them canceling is shocking to me.
