Marathon Weekend 2025

[runwithperseverence7]

I don't even have that box in my Dopey registration yet.

Same. Nothing showing up. Nothing in my kids either and they are 5k.

116xx with a 2:16 POT

Ditto

From the FB groups I'm in, it seems like challenge runners haven't gotten their bib numbers loaded in yet.

 

[princesspirateandrunner]

10k, DH 609xx
Full, DH 118xx

Thanks for sharing that, that makes me feel better! I was feeling pretty goofy (HAH!) that I couldn’t find the Photopass field in my registration.

I put a 4:36.00 POT for the marathon and I appear to have an 114XX bib number. International runner so I have to sign the waiver in person at the expo.

No problem! I am now anxiously awaiting mine. I don't mind being in B for the 5K and 10K and even the half, but I really want to be in A for the full since I want to get on rides and take a few pictures with minimal lines. I submitted a POT of 1:49, which it seems like others are getting into A with.

111xx for just the full with 2:05 pot

That’s really odd but I guess it makes sense since the registration fields are slightly different. Mine was just below the emergency contact info.

Interesting to note that my bib number is ~100 lower than 2024 using the same PoT.

Since we’re talking bibs and finish times, reposting @DopeyBadger’s table of expected corral assignments.

To add to the data points.... marathon only
11,1xx. entered HM POT of 2:05
12,2xx. DH entered fastest non-POT

Okay, got a run in here in west-central FL and have some data points to share that hopefully will be helpful to some…

I ran from 8:30-10am, wanting to simulate the last hour or so of the half with my slow time.
Starting conditions: 45º, dew point 31º, Feels Like 38º, winds NNE 15-20mph, 46% humidity, full sun, not a cloud in the sky
Finishing conditions: 50º, dew point 31º, Feels Like 47º, everything else the same

This is the #1 point I want to share: the sun here, even though it’s January, is INTENSE. It made a big difference in how I felt in the shade vs. full sun. This matters less for the half and not at all for the 5K or 10K, but should be a consideration for marathoners.

#2 big point is wind: it was gusty and when it blew, it was darned chilly, even in full sun. When I was in sheltered spots, it felt easily 10º warmer, even in the shade.

What I wore: thermal tights, super thin short sleeve over a thin long sleeve under a medium weight tech jacket, BondiBand as an ear cover, wool beret, cheap knit gloves, thin Buff neck gaiter.

How I felt: totally fine until about 9:15am, when I took off the jacket. Thermal tights were just right. Gloves came off within 20 minutes, but would have stayed on longer with no sun. Beret was okay… it was definitely warm, but tolerable. I took it off a couple times to see how much difference there was and it was negligible. In the same conditions, I could tolerate it being a touch too warm for the last few miles in the interest of costume perfection. BUT, and this is a good point for the marathoners: did I ever miss having the brim of a hat or visor to block the sun, even though I had on sunglasses. I’d only have to deal with a few miles of sun in the half, and it won’t be high enough to make a brim effective, anyway, but for the marathoners who aren’t finishing in 3ish hours? Yeah - I’d want that brim.

A couple unexpected points of interest…

I went though my 12oz bottle of Tailwind faster than I normally do - that usually lasts me 6+ miles, but I drink to thirst and I went through it in 5. And I was HUNGRY shortly after finishing. I forget how much more fluid and calories I need in the cold, so that was a good reminder.

The cold, dry air outside + really, really dry heated air inside he last 24 hours has wreaked havoc with my lungs and sinuses, both of which were burning at the end of my run and I got a slight nosebleed. I use an inhaler for asthma, but will also make sure to pack some saline spray to lube my sinuses.

Now, of course, the half forecast has flipped again to warmer conditions, so all of this data collection may be for nought at my end lol! #stillbringingitall

Thank you!! This was so helpful! I’m throwing in my saline spray- what a great idea. I used Vaseline but it never even occurred to me how helpful this would be since I use it regularly at home.

7:20am flight out of Houston this morning went off without a hitch. Everything has been great so far. We were getting our rental car and we were given a mini van for no up charge. We got to our resort around noon and as soon as pulled in we got our room ready notification. Weather is great. Parks are a little crowded but not nothing not seen before.

Same

 

[DHSsenior007]

Got my number for marathon:116XX, submitted a 2:15 HM POT.

 

[Herding_Cats]

Checked in for our flights this afternoon, and they’re taking bids from volunteers to take a different flight. We picked what we feel like was a sufficiently high number of miles for each of us, and tomorrow morning we will find out if we take off at 6, or 645.

I’ve already mentioned to DH that this would allow me to fly down for princess for “free” if we do end up getting switched.

 

[lookingforsunshine]

I don’t know if Dopey or Goofy will get the box unless it shows us several different numbers.

I know I just got in (late charity bib), but I am already miffed at my 10k bib--62xxx.

One time I registered late through a charity and they didn’t count my Club runDisney benefits toward it.

 

[smileyanna]

Sorry if this has been posted - how should we interpret the bib numbers viz corral placement?

 

[Naomeri]

I’ve already mentioned to DH that this would allow me to fly down for princess for “free” if we do end up getting switched.

Keep working the system and you'll get that trip yet

No bib info for me yet on the registration page.
