Marathon Weekend 2019

[camaker]

Can'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.

Those are probably in the ballpark, but according to @DopeyBadger RunDisney doesn't assign all the bib numbers within the range. Some are held back for late registrations, replacements or other reasons. So the actual numbers are probably a little lower.

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.

In a way, Goofy is a success. Disney upsold 1200 people who may otherwise have done one race.
And the marathon as well. Lots of marathon runners added on extra races by doing Dopey.

So REALLY REALLY not 7K Goofy runners like that graphic says!

Depends on how you look at it. Definitely not 7k runners doing Goofy ONLY. But technically, if you are doing Dopey, you are also completing the Goofy Challenge. So the Goofy numbers are the Dopeys plus the Goofy-only numbers. Their event, their spin zone, I guess...

Anyone who does Dopey probably would not want Goofy to go away, because that would be 5 medals for same amount of work that netted you 6 medals this time!!

Big plans for tonight...packing and trying to find my elusively missing headphones.

They'll do anything to make themselves look good. 1200 Goofy entries is a pretty poor showing given the event used to sell out until Dopey came along.

We have made it! Hung out at the Wilderness Lodge Geyser Point bar for a margarita and now heading to the expo. (Obsessed with this resort, btw)
Good luck everyone and enjoy your time!!! The fun is just starting!

[LSUlakes]

Sitting here at work reading all the "I'm here" stories is driving me nuts! I've got today and a half day tomorrow still to go. Fly in Thursday evening and hit the Expo first thing Friday morning. It can't get here soon enough!

I know how you feel! We dont leave until Friday... 3:00 AM to be exact, but its a long drive and my anticipated arrival time is 4:00 PM local time

I’d always heard that pandas are real party animals.

LOL

If anuone ever gets a chance to stay club level, do it.
I just got free somewhat-drinkable coffee.
This is awesome.

Landed! Quick stop at then dolphin to ditch the family, and off to get my bib and shop a bit!

Happy Marathon weekend everyone!

Not overly impressed with the merchandise... Maybe my hearts is not in it since I have food poisoning still and so I'm worried about finishing - and i was already worried cause of my neck surgery. Or it could also be the super high prices, so i did not buy any Dopey stuff in case i dont make it.

Here are very few pics I took
