Full marathon only 42XX (PoT was 1 41 42 for a 10miler) Wonder which corral this will be.
It looks like they placed you in one of the last corrals.

4xx - 1:47:35 HM POT
10XX - 1:59 HM POT
11XX - 2:04 HM POT
14XX - 2:11 HM POT

42XX - 1:41 10 miler POT
47XX -
The cutoff for POT is a 1:35 10 miler and 2:08 HM. I'm guessing that they slotted the 2:11 HM POT runner into Corral C (maybe B), but it looks like they slotted you at the back because your POT was too far away to be acceptable. I don't know this definitively, but this is how I'm reading the above data because there's 3000 bibs between you and the 2:11 HM which I already think is outside the range. You can take your data to runner's relations at the expo and they might be able to help move you to an appropriate corral. But it's entirely possible this may be a case where they won't move you up. In my opinion, you should be in Corral C (a 1:41 10 miler is equivalent in calculation to a 4:45 M using what I believe runDisney uses).
So @Chanty30 given the additional info of the last M only bib number being 7037 and bib 28xx being a 4:30-5:00 estimate, I no longer think you're in one of the last corrals. I'm thinking they placed you in Corral C (estimated finish of 4:30-5:00) which aligns with your POT you submitted.
Probably too much to hope that it might also mean less congestion… from what I’ve seen lately, it just means feeding us all through faster to get the parks emptied sooner.
The HM release has been fairly consistent at 60 min over the last several years despite the drop in attendance. So it's been less dense. But we can never pre-predict this type of behavior with strong confidence when it comes to the next weekend. The M has however gone faster than it used to. It used to be 60 min as well, but the last few years have been in the 30-45 min range. Could be other reasons (like weather) that influenced that decision, but it also remains to be seen whether they'll go back to 60 min.
@DopeyBadger
Marathon only
11XX
POT: 1:31:33 10 miler
Hoping for corral B, probably cutting it close
In my opinion, it's not close. You're solidly in B with the cutoff being very close to 1:35:05.
Anyone have a guess as to what coral a marathon number 35xx would put someone in?
What did you submit as your estimate at registration?
Based on this data collected so far:
M
4xx - 1:47:35 HM POT
10XX - 1:59 HM POT
11XX - 2:04 HM POT
11xx - 1:31:11 10 miler POT
12xx - 1:34:31 10 miler POT
14XX - 2:11 HM POT
21XX -
24XX -
28xx - 4:31-5:00 estimate
35xx -
42XX - 1:41 10 miler POT
47XX -
7037 - Last assigned Marathon only bib number
I can make a reasonable guess you submitted 4:30-5:00 and will be slotted in Corral C.
