That is the same course as the 10K for W&D 2018... I did not love the course. From my experience, most of it was crazy crowded.
I just looked at the map... Okay, maybe it is not exactly the same. I don't think that is how we came into Epcot for W&D. It is very similar though.
THREE weeks until the 5k everybody! I'm stalking the weather even though it's probably meaningless. Looks like overnight lows in the 60's I'm still going to try to race the 10k and hope at that distance I won't have the chance to get too overheated. Half is looking like a fun run for me if those are the temps. The 10-day forecast near me says we will be in the 50s-60s next week so I'm hoping we can start getting a *little* ready for the heat.
As for race costumes and level of intricacy, as someone who has run the marathon in a princess dress, I'm going low-key this year. Star Wars themed tank tops and regular running bottoms. a) There are just so few female characters and b) to me it seems many of the Star Wars characters require get-ups that are too unwieldy to run in, in order to get a close enough similarity to the character to be recognized as such. That's just my personal preference though, I can't run 13 miles in the heat in an Admiral Ackbar head. Looking forward to seeing what other people do though!
Hope everybody's training is going great. After my 4-day vacation of no running and then getting a cold, I've lost steam a little bit. Hoping to jump back into the plan full force today.
Correct. There is no timing chip on the 5K bibs.Is the tracking *only* available for 10K and Half?
Never mind, found it:
Family and friends can track their runner's performance with live, online Runner Tracking for the Half Marathon and 10K races. Runners will be able to send split times via email, text message and social media!
Register for this service on the event website approximately 1 week before the event—or ask to sign up for Runner Tracking at the Expo.
Not yet, since nothing has been officially released yet. Wait until rD releases waivers - if yours isn't coming up then, contact rD.I still can't find myself on the tracker website, should I be concerned?
They had Kylo Ren on the back with the Star Wars logo and Commitment below it.Does anyone have a picture of last year's jackets?
I really like the artwork - don't like the colors. They have BB-8 on both the light and dark sides. Is there a dark BB-8?
Ah, the flat headed darth looking one. Thank you.BB-9E
BB-8 and his nemesis are on the kids medal right?I really like the artwork - don't like the colors. They have BB-8 on both the light and dark sides. Is there a dark BB-8?
Yes that is correct. On the Kids dash medal BB-8 is in front and on the Kids Mile BB-9E is in front.BB-8 and his nemesis are on the kids medal right?
