Seeing a rumor on Facebook that Princess Half Marathon will not take place in 2019 due to road construction.
Again, it seems to be a rumor at this time. Anyone have any solid info?
My started showing up early afternoon. You have to link them using the code on the back of your bib.
They had 2018 dates for light side and tinker bell hell they had a past runner registration for the former before they canceled DisneylandThey also have already announced the dates for the 2019 races for Princess and Dark Side.

FWIW however With the size of WDW though I’d more then likely see princess be rerouted then going away all together
Trust me I know all about that! I was signed up for Light Side and got my refund.
But there is much more land that they own at WDW with lots of various course options.

It won't be completed by the time of Princess but yes it will be complete in 2019. I don't see why road construction which is ongoing would have an affect on Princess when they are already selling travel agent bibs for Marathon Weekend 2019 which uses the same courses as Princess.The road construction is what is currently happening (and what we all just ran through!) and it should all be finished by 2019, to accommodate toy story and star wars opening. I don't know of any other major road work that would disrupt Princess
That really sucks.
Never had that happen, but try emailing rundisney ASAP, and make sure the member of your party who lost their bib gets to race start super early tomorrow with their photo ID. Have them speak to the people at the rundisney booth and see if they can help them out with a replacement bib. Best case scenario, someone turned in the lost bib and/or they can give the member of your party a replacement. Let us know how this turns out!
along with the people who obviously had someone run a POT for them so they could have an A bib.
1) I didn't know this was an option and 2) why would you want to do this?? I was in E and I was basically with the same group of people the entire time aka we were all at the same pace aka we had all been corralled properly. If I was in A I probably would have been stampeded over, which doesn't sound fun?
My race was good but recovery has been difficult. I got overheated and dehydrated Sunday morning and didn't really fully recover from that until yesterday evening (I hope). Between that and some GI issues I'm kind of wishing I'd planned a resort day during this trip! Off to AK as soon as the BF wakes up...
I watched a video of a guy who studies race results after races to pick out cheaters. I feel like if it's big enough of a problem and Disney wants to do something about it, they could definitely hire someone like this. People who start in the wrong corrals would probably be the easiest to pick out. I'm just not sure how big of an issue cheating at Disney races is.So they have a huge buffer from being swept. I don’t know how to say this without sounding like a jerk. I don’t care what body shape you have or how much you weigh. Just getting out and being active is a good thing and something to be proud of. However, when someone is very obese, walking, huffing and puffing and wearing an A bib and I’m passing them in the first mile there’s got to be some cheating going on.
Recovery......I checked out of my resort and drove home (45 minutes!) after the half. I was so tired! I hardly ever nap, but I crashed hard and slept for two hours. Had pizza and a beer for dinner and was asleep by 8pm. Yesterday I took a walk and my quad was sore and I was still a little tired. Feeling good today, but I haven’t gone for my run yet.
Disney, please get new people in charge of Merchandise... the designs and quality sucks. Thanks in advance.

Even the best 10K time for a number of people I have seen could not get them into corrals A and B, as the calculation to to convert to a Half Time adds time over the 10 K Split. I have a POT of 59:00 for a 10K and still was in D for the half (my PR half is 2:17:31) so I highly doubt some of the folks I saw in starting ahead of me had a recent 10k time that put them inside of 2:15 for the half, but it is what it is. I try to tell myself not to judge and just run my race.I definitely noticed quite a few people who lied about expected pace for the 10k. @Bree put it pretty well.
It was better for the half marathon, but people were going slower in A and B corrals than I would have expected. I just assumed a lot of the people used whatever their best 10k POT was, instead of a half which would have more accurately corralled them.
