New Disney Race : Star Wars Half Marathon

[Wines Not Whines]

I wish this race was in FL! CA is too far for me to travel. It sounds like fun.

I thought this would be at DW too. I loved Tink in Jan, so I'm still sad that moved. The weather was great for the race (coming from WI training). I know a few people planning on registering. I bet it fills up quick.

This sounds so awesome

OH MY GOD.

Must rehabilitate.

[Wines Not Whines]

It just seems odd to have both of the new races that have a lot of guy appeal at DL. (Avengers and Star Wars.) not that women aren't interested, because I definitely am. But they are themes that will attract a lot of men. It seems like they should do them in two locations. I'm hoping for a future Star Wars race at WDW!

This will sell out in an hour, guaranteed. I'm working on DH and some friends already about it. It will go on sale when I'm in the middle of AP grading, so I'm not sure how that's going to work for me. :/

If I didn't already sign up the WDW half the week before I would have done this one. There's always 2016!

I might need to do this in the future. I don't think I could do another half in January though.

If my H was ever going to consent to go to Disney or run a half, this would probably be the one. LOL.

If y'all remind me, I'll PM you the DVC/AP preregistration link (June 4, noon EDT). I don't think you have to provide proof that you are DVC or AP holder, just be one to get the secret early link.

If the SW race were in Florida, I'm sure we'd do it. DH is a huge SW fan. But our plan for 2015 is for Tinkerbell in May and Wine & Dine in November for Coast to Coast. It's just not financially in the cards for us to fly across country more than once a year.

Any thoughts on the $195 price tag?

I would LOVE this!!!!! But it won't work for me. ?

They fixed the loophole for this. At least for WDW marathon weekend. You could only pre register if you actually had the AP, and you couldn't share the link. Maybe it won't be fixed for all of then though.

Darn. My sister just used it to register for Tower of Terror. Boo.

[badgergirl66]

Was tower of terror registration before or after the Marathon weekend? Maybe it was only fixed for that due to Dopey/Goofy?

I saw this thread and thought "so when are we going to get a Marvel half marathon?"  Answer: this November
