Ego and then it can snowball. Never understood itCourse cutting and lying about your times is so strange to me. What do you even gain? I guess it's just an ego/attention thing?

Do we know if the finish time of the runners who did not go to Blizzard Beach was adjusted to reflect the shorter course?Anyone who wants to make Disney courses shorter instead of longer is crazy! @FFigawi and I turned the 10K into 8 miles and had a blast.
Since the last timing mat was at 20 miles (before the turn off for BB) there is no way for them to know for sure who ran the full course and who was cut (or as I like to call them...the lucky ones!)Do we know if the finish time of the runners who did not go to Blizzard Beach was adjusted to reflect the shorter course?
Just a curiosity because I already know and accept that my finish times at Disney reflect more how long the characters lines were, how congested the courses were and how much distractions were offered than how fast I can run.
I ran the Full course and they just opened the bypass in front of me when I was coming back from BB. There was mostly surprise on both sides.
I don't know how they would be able to tell which runners ran the shortened course I remember somebody saying that the 6:30 pace group finished before the 6:15 pace group because the 6:15 group went through Blizzard Beach and 6:30 did not. I was one who did not get to run through Blizzard Beach. I'm not sure what that makes me other than a back of the pack runner. Which I already was.Do we know if the finish time of the runners who did not go to Blizzard Beach was adjusted to reflect the shorter course?

Thanks for the answers and example. I did not follow that discussion online... I was too busy being at Disney or back to real life. So, I’ll just put an asterisk next to my placement numbers.I don't know how they would be able to tell which runners ran the shortened course I remember somebody saying that the 6:30 pace group finished before the 6:15 pace group because the 6:15 group went through Blizzard Beach and 6:30 did not.

Well, you’re kind of lucky you avoided running the entire perimeter of the BB parking lot. That drudgery was far worse than any of the out and backs on Osceola.

I feel like this stretch needs a nickname considering how awful it was. I'm proposing Buzzard Beach for the buzzards circling overhead, waiting for the runners who had to endure that section to drop.
My guess is he did get on a bus.Read that article on the cheater - I am trying to figure out how he got to the finish line? He has a medal, but only recorded the 5 mile and 10 mile splits. There were plenty of places to cut that marathon course, but a bee-line from mile 10 to the finish isn't one of them (I can't imagine he ran on World Dr without being caught). So did he catch a parade bus?
That’s my guess as well. So really, not quite a cheater, but just a person who lied about finishing??My guess is he did get on a bus.
Yeah that’s what it appears.That’s my guess as well. So really, not quite a cheater, but just a person who lied about finishing??

What’s with all the missed splits sprinkled throughout the results? Does the RFID glitch out that often or is it something the runner does when hitting the mat? If my results had a missed split it would drive me insane!
Maybe having Olaf recap the entire race weekend is the only way to redeem Blizzard Beach?Well, you’re kind of lucky you avoided running the entire perimeter of the BB parking lot. That drudgery was far worse than any of the out and backs on Osceola.
Now I'm genuinely curious as to her motivation only running 12 miles of the marathon and that being her plan all along. Nothing wrong with it, just curious.A girl I follow on Instagram ran 12 miles of the marathon and monorailed back to Epcot to her car (she never planned to run the whole thing and headed home from there). While I imagine he probably got on a parade bus, apparently the monorail was an option as well?
