Official 2016 Star Wars Half Marthon - The Dark Side Weekend

[BriarRose59]

I'm in for the challenge and DH and DD28 for the 10K. I was not able to get my DD24 in for the challenge through DVC. I'm still trying, but will probably have to do it next week. Congrats to all who got in and good luck next week for those who didn't!

Well I gave up on the Challenge and just registered for the half. Which is honestly ok. I live in upstate ny and run outside all winter....makes it hard to keep up on my long runs. Just stinks that it was on hold by 12:01 already.

I didn't know that!! Smart trick!!

I bet it saves RunDisney from all the emails people submit right before the deadline. I think you can go back into active and update your registration, but let me know if you can't find the link and I'll try and post it.

I'm registered for the half! It is perfect because I'll have just wrapped up my bachelor's degree on April 5th, then traveling to the half, then graduating two weeks after that. One long celebration for me!

Kids dashes just sold out

 

[Nole95]

Both dashes and the mile sold out first. Very surprised. Thought the challenge would be the first to go.

Challenge just sold out ... darn! Contemplating waiting for general Reg next week or just going for the half. I am so bummed. Never had an issue since 2013.

Refreshed for an hour for the Challenge & sold out, was on right at 12:00 too, lame! will wait for general registration next week.

Same pod as you.... I had the box checked off but so caught up I didn't realize you only can do one at a time and ended up registering only for the 5 k, by the time I got back the hold was on!!!
Well .... This has certainly kept my mind off the recent discovery of mold in our house.
..... Nothing like a RunDisney registration to help one escape from life!!
Good luck to all of us diehards next week!

I just realized that it didn't ask if you were doing Coast to Coast or about Kessel Run medal. Don't they usually have a box to check? Am I wrong? Did I miss it?

 

[drlaurafsu]

I've been told they have that information...so you don't need to put it in at registration

Ok I want to cry.....my work just announced a mandatory teleconference next tues at 11am central which is 12pm est. My boss is going to let me login into the computer in the conference room, though I won't have access to multiple browsers. We're registering myself, DH and my DS who's a minor. Will the system allow me to register DS under my account so I won't have to go back into the queue right? I'm going to have DH register himself at home and I'll do myself and DS at work.

I didn't fill that out for Dumbo and they just knew, somehow. You should be okay.

 

[Ariel484]

Interesting that you guys had to submit proof of time at registration. They must be changing how they do things.

 

[Ariel484]

And congrats to everyone that got in! To everyone that didn't - at least you still have a shot next week!

I think since he's a minor, you can register your son under your account. Your husband needs his own account, so that's good that he will be available to register himself.

Same thing here. I got in and then went to register my friend. Just going to do the same and keep refreshing until it says the dreaded 'sold out' and hope I can register her next Tuesday.

After refreshing for 20 minutes it opened, but I put my friend's email in wrong and in the time it took me to re-enter it the Challenge closed again. After another 15 minutes of refreshing I got in and got her registered! I only had about 3 panic attacks in the 35 minutes it took to find a spot. Hope others had the same luck and pixie dust!

 

[roselark]

Officially in for the Challenge and 5K. Also booked a room at All Star Sports. Using all my DVC points for Aulani next Sept...

 

[girli565]

Even though he is a minor, and you can register him under your acct, you will need to do each registration separately. Sucks. They only allow one participant to register at a time. you just won't have to create a new acct for your son which saves time.

You don't have to enter any info now for Coast-to-Coast...it is now automatically done for you by runDisney. I specifically emailed them about this a month ago and was told that they care of it now. Yes in the past it was a checkbox, etc that you had to enter during the registration process but not anymore.

Ok so how does that work? He does have an active account. When I'm done registering will it ask me if I want to register anyone else like it does for other non-Disney races? Should I then just put in his info under my account or use his login, which would be faster?
