They are if you run princess or Star WarsI've never been impressed with the RD merch honestly. And I really wish some of the race shirts that you get werent long sleeve...
I get what you’re saying though.

As a side note, the quality of the clothing items (jackets and pullovers especially) just didn’t match the price. Everything is very thin and not that flattering. Again, I still spent plenty of money and this is just my opinion.
Actually the goofy number includes Dopey.
@rteetz. That is what I was going to guess, otherwise, there are ~1200 "just" doing the marathon, which seemed really low to me.

At wine and dine last year they had a photopass photographer at the expo with a lady and the tramp background (5K theme) at the 3 prior races I’ve done (W&D 16,17 and Star Wars in 18) all the photo ops I’d seen were done via volunteer or character handler at least ones I did at thoseI goofed and thought my travel agent was booking my memory maker package so am just now looking at it, and I'm stuck with paying more for it to start now or the advance option not counting for three days. Does the 3 days start from when you buy it? I'm not entering a park until race time on Sunday, so do you think I still have time to do the advanced if I do it right this second? Are there official Disney photographers outside the parks, like at the expo?
https://www.disboards.com/threads/downward-trend-in-rundisney.3724544/Has anyone questioned why most of the races did not sell out this year? The 5K did, but the others did not.
I am not running myself this year, but had run 4 of the previous 5 years, finishing the marathon 3 times.
My reasons had to do with overall cost and last year was the 25th anniversary, a milestone race.
What I find most interesting about this graphic is that with all the talk recently of "Dopey is the preferred challenge" and "why bother with Goofy" there are significantly more Goofy runners than Dopey. Perhaps the rumors of Goofy's demise have been overstated!
I don't buy the numbers for Goofy. Let's say Goofy and Dopey sold out. Would they then list 15,000 Goofy entries (7500 for each) and 14000 for the full and 7500 for Dopey? I agree that's probably how they're adding it up this year to make it look more impressive for Goofy, but there's no way they'd do this is both of the challenges were full. They really should show the actual number of runners entered in each one of the three and not muddle them up to make it look like all three are a sucess.
You’re trusting a runDisney graphic. That’s your first problemCan't we get these numbers from the corral assignments?
Marathon - 9301
Goofy - 1279 (!!)
Dopey - 7327
Half - 16539
Assuming my brain works and these are the right numbers, that graphic is incredibly misleading.
You'd think I'd know better by now! I'm so ashamed.You’re trusting a runDisney graphic. That’s your first problem
