Marathon Weekend 2020

@willieT Definitely have her email them before the potential barrage. I was shocked when I saw I had gotten a #26XXX since I had submitted a 1:58HM POT. Went and checked submission and found out something had gone amiss and had accidentally entered 2:58 instead.... 🤦‍♀️ Whoops!
Short email with a link to my -actual- POT time (same I had included with the submission and they did cross reference to confirm) and they confirmed they would move me up on their approved list and if the right corral wasn't on the bib when I pickup to just go visit Runner Relations. I was kind of shocked they replied within the hour but, not going to look a gift horse (mouse) in the mouth! Much happier with my new C.
 
Uhm, where can I find the 5K Corral Placements? Need to see, where they put my girlfriend ;)

You won't find out 5k (or 10k) corral placement until the expo. The assumption is that the faster estimated pace you put on your registration, then the higher corral placement. Although, I believe the 5k only has three corrals now.
Ah, thanks! Chances are good, that they put her into the last Corral. But that's ok, it is our "fun race" :-)
 
I registered for all of my bunch, including DS's GF. She's never done a half, but ran a 10k in 1:12:40 for PoT (as her first ever race). I thought that would be enough to keep her out of the last corral for the half, but she's bib 53XXX. Does that sound right? I was hoping she would have a bit of cushion by being in G instead of H.
 
I think I should have used my marathon proof of time instead of my half. I guess it won't hurt for me to email them but I'm 99.9% it will be a waste!
 
Alright everyone, as promised I will put together a spreadsheet that has everyone that wishes to participate in the spreadsheet's information on it. We do this as a means to help people find each other on race day at either the pre-race/post-race meet-ups, in the corrals, or just by chance on the course. I will ask for information and you can choose to provide or not provide any information as you desire (or not participate at all). The only key parts are Dis name, corral, and pace. All others are optional. This will also be helpful to your family and spectators because it provides "time of day" markers for when you should reach different milestones based on your estimated pace and starting time (corral).

So for every race that you plan to participate in (so Goofy and Dopey people I need each race separately, 5k, 10k, HM, M...) please provide me the following:

RACE -
NAME -
DIS'er name -
Costume/Clothing -
Corral -
Pre-Race Meet-up? -
(Yes or No)
Early Bird or Late Arriver -
Front, Middle, or Back of corral -
Expected Pace -


I will compile everyone's response into a single spreadsheet and then distribute this when we get closer to race day. As for the optional items, the following reasons have been given for why someone may choose not to provide:

NAME - because I want internet anonymity. Just first name or initials are fine. Or nothing at all is fine too.
Corral: If you know now that you will be starting in a different corral than assigned, then give me the corral you plan to start in.
Pre-Race Meet-up? - Not required to attend or not attend the meet up. Just gives us an idea of who to look out for morning of.
Early Bird or Late arriver just means whether you think you'll arrive to the meet-up/corrals early in the race morning or late in the race morning.
Front, Middle, Back of corral just means where you plan on lining up when the race starts. This helps people find you easier in a crowd if say two people are in corral E, that are early birds, and front people. Then I'd look for your costume on race day.

Once I "like" your post with the above information in it I have added you to the compiled list.

I will include timing information about the races based on past history but no guarantee they follow the same system as before. I will also include pre-race meetup, HH, and DATW information in the final PDF.

Attached is an example of the 2018 version.

If you submitted the 1:12:40 10k before the submission deadline, then it sounds like an error. That should be a solid Corral E. I would recommend emailing them.

I submitted way before the deadline, and double-checked just now that I entered it correctly. I thought it sounded wrong, too. I will definitely email them. Thanks!
