The only time I've experienced crowding like the DL mile 3 issue at WDW was the 2020 marathon when they cut the Blizzard Beach loop from the course. I was right behind the cutoff and became part of the Great Merge
-- literally shoulder to shoulder from that point until we got to Epcot. This will/should not be that bad!
You’ll do great! You still have a few weeks to rest up and heal - worst case scenario you walk it and enjoy the scenery.Hi everyone! I injured my back 2 weeks ago. It's been 3 weeks since I ran my last long run (I did 7 miles). I am a healthy 35 year old woman and I'm panicking a little because I still have some back pain and I don't want to run until it's relieved. I guess I can walk?! I'm doing the 10 miler. I did the half Princess weekend in '23 and am generally in 10k shape year round. I'm hoping muscle memory from all my work these past few months helps! Trying not to get discouraged
Keep resting your back. If you can walk and have the time, try walking the training distances. Back issues are never fun and healing up should be the first priority. Sounds like you have a good base anyway. It is always better to go into a race weekend a bit under trained than trying to race injured.Hi everyone! I injured my back 2 weeks ago.

Thanks for the encouragement! Back pain is pretty much gone but feels VERY STIFF like it's about to blow haha I did walk 2 miles today which felt appropriate. I agree I'd rather go under trained than injured.
can you send a link? or the name of the Facebook group?
SAME! Though I did just pull out my (very nice, Champion brand) 2017 Tink Challenge neon yellow shirt to wear with my Tink skirt and wings for the SS Neverland 5K next month. Doubt I'll be able to do that for any of these as I suspect they may just unravel themselves in the drawer.I rarely wear race shirts outside of race weekends
It's a Champion brand, not Columbia, isn't it?SAME!

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I love the race shirt material. They are super light and good for running and/or walking around the parks. I have plenty of sturdy t-shirts and such; these tend to be unique and well-suited for lots of situations for me. The only other thing I could possibly want is a sturdier moisture-wicking material like some of my other running shirts, but I care way more about the medals than the shirts.
my sentiments exactly.. I use them frequently and they have stand the test of time..
Oops! Yes. I'll edit
