My husband is participating in the Dopey Challenge, and I decided to run the full marathon with him. When I went to sign up a few minutes ago, I noticed that the last day to submit a time for corral placement was October 4. I have two quick questions.
1) Has anyone ever signed up after the corral placement cutoff and still been placed in a corral other than the last one?
2) If you have ever been in the last corral, how bad is it? I am not concerned with the late starting time, but is it hard to make your way through the walkers? If the congestion lasts for only a mile or so, my husband and I would be fine with that. We just don't want to spend miles upon miles being boxed in by walkers.
For the record, we aren't looking to be break any speed records. We were hoping to complete the first 13.1 miles in 2:15-2:30 and then enjoy all of the photo ops during the second half of the race.
