Registration day for the 2015 WDW Marathon weekend, January 7 - 11!!! Mark your calender for April 22 to register for your events....Keep an eye on the important dates and info through the runDisney website.
What you need to know:
(1) Make a decision which race you are going to do ahead of time! (You have plenty of time to train!) This race sells out quickly...like in 48 hours sometimes! You can choose from the Family fun run 5k, 10k, Half-Marathon, Full Marathon, Goofy's Race and a Half Challenge (the Half + the Full marathon) or if you're really crazy...the Dopey Challenge! (the 5k + 10k + Half + Full)
(2) Start talking to your friends NOW to coordinate your registration! You don't want to end up being the only one who actually got in. (Remind them they have plenty of time to train!)
(3) Registration is around $180 for the half/full! Be prepared to pay the whole amount at the time of registration!
(4) There is a sport travel company that partners with runDisney called GET Travel . After you register through RunDisney, you will receive an email from them with package deals on hotels and discounted park tickets.
This is important!
You can only get their discounted package deal on a hotel room at select Disney Resorts IF you also purchase your race registration from Get Travel!!!
They will also allow you to make payments on your room reservations through December! However, your race registration still must be paid in full at the time you register for both, through the travel company. The race price is exactly the same at both sites.
(5) You have the opportunity to purchase discounted park tickets through Get Travel, regardless which site your race registration is through. This can be done later.
(6) If you are interested in registering for the race AND booking your hotel package at one of the host RunDisney Resort hotels, then make sure you go to GET Travel and sign up for their email alerts!
If you register for the race through runDisney directly, you are NOT eligible for the package deal with hotel through GET Travel!
I spoke directly to a Get Travel Agent last week, who confirmed this information, She said that every year, there are so many disappointed (and confused) racers who end up not being able to get the discounted hotel rooms because they first registered through runDisney for their races. I'm not sure why they aren't more closely linked or make this clear to runners prior to the race...but I thought it was important to share with all of you! I too was confused! I had originally called to make sure my facts were straight because I just got called to jury duty the day registration opens, and I have to leave clear instructions with my hubby to register me! Good Luck!
