Marathon Weekend 2024

[dweibel]

I think I messed up. Last year for the marathon my DW and I posted a POT of ~2:50 for a half and ended up in E, which was awesome! This year we did get a POT we could have submitted at ~2:35 for a half. There was a lot of discussion that if you post a POT that was longer than Disney's POT cut off it could actually hurt you.? So this year I didn't submit our time POT. I just submitted a non-POT start that would have put us in E again, based on there ranges. Looking at our Dopey Bib #26731 and the old charts I think that puts us sqaurely in F. :~(. (So feels better to post a POT even if its over.)

You only submit a half POT if you've run it in 2:15 or faster. Otherwise, you just select the appropriate estimated finish time. Otherwise, yes, Disney will place you in the back (or possibly the "correct" corral, but runDisney doesn't want to do the work to figure it out for you.) And honestly, a 2:50/2:35 finish times would be approximately E or D corral, respectively.

I think that was only true for 2022, last year would put you a bit further up (I could be reading the chart wrong, it's formatted wonky)

The 2022 chart isn't quite as comparable. For 2023, corral E Dopey bibs went through the low 27300s. Things could still change but comparing to 2023 is likely more similar than looking back to 2022.

626XX for the 10k! No idea what that means as far as corral placement, but hopefully it’s not the last one.

Sounds lucky to me

I’ve got a high 4xx for the marathon. Last year it was a 411 which I found quite amusing. I’m curious why it’s negligibly higher this year with a better POT. Are there more runners? More faster runners?

 

[AJruns]

I went up about 300 numbers from last year’s full with the same POT, so I interpreted that as more, faster runners

 

[Tymeece]

First time Dopey… 27XXX. Submitted 2:05 Half. Are these estimates accurate? Am I going to be in the back?

 

[Disney at Heart]

Got mine. 303XX for Goofy

300XX for Goofy here, I submitted a 1:44 half POT. Don't know if the number provides any clues, but I'm hoping for corral A!

Goofy bib #302XX with a marathon POT of 4:18

Perfectly Goofy DH: 303XX
Me: 304XX

I am exactly 100 behind DH, also behind @School Bread (A?), @BigEyore (A or B?), and somewhat close to @GuinnessRunner (C?). I’ll take it! Hope to see you Goofy people at the meetups!

Just go back and look at what you used for either POT submission or estimated finish time on your registration. If you could also re-post your bib number and what you put as your estimate I'll update the below. Also please mention if you are a club runDisney member that gets a corral boost because you're bib number reflects that.

@DopeyBadger i have 626xx for the 10k and I selected 10-12 min pace.

I can not say it definitively. But either you registered really late (like when it randomly opened after POT submission cutoff) or something went wrong with your POT verification. Go to your registration profile on runDisney and take a screenshot of your submission of a POT on your account. If you do end up getting assigned in the last corral (likely if not a late registrant based on the bib number), then you'll need to pick up your bib and then go to runner's relations at the expo. Have the screenshot of a correctly submitted POT with you and very nicely request being moved to an appropriate corral. If runDisney finds the error was on their end, then they will move you up. However if there was an error in your submission somehow, then it gets iffy whether they'll be able to help you. Runner's relations can take a bit of time so plan on it taking a bit and stay kind as much as possible. Errors happen sometimes.

HM only.
424XX estimated 2:15 - 2:30

 

[garneska]

For @DopeyBadger data. I submitted a 10k POT of 54 minutes even. For the half I am 40516. That POT had me in coral A for wine and dine. I suspect it might get me in A. Unfortunately not going so I won‘t know for sure.

I think there's definitely some wiggle room after my time as I knew some people in B with later bib numbers, without club RD.

 

[Marathongirl30]

How do you tell what corral you’re in? I’m 20,0XX for dopey as is my DH.

Goofy 304xx - 4:30-5:00 estimate

 

[DopeyBadger]

How do you tell what corral you’re in? I’m 20,0XX for dopey as is my DH.

At least Corral A with 100% certainty. You're possibly Elite with that bib number if you're female. Won't know with better certainty until runner tracking comes out and we can see which bibs aren't being used. But Elite bibs are usually the top 10-12 of males and females if they choose to assign them (sometimes they don't assign all the numbers).
