You read that right – I spoke to someone who works for the company that programs the runDisney registration queue software! Not just runDisney, either; in this conversation, Oogie Boogie Bash tickets came up too. I’m going to keep it vague for safety. Nothing about our chat suggested that the info I received was in any way secret, but...

For the first time in my running career, I balked at a runDisney bib price. Is runDisney finally flirting with price resistance? Disclaimer: What follows constitutes first world problems. It is a privilege to be in a position to ask these questions in the first place. Nevertheless, let’s discuss! IS runDISNEY PUSHING THE BIB PRICE LIMITS? Public registration for...

Ahhh, yes. Another day, another runDisney race registration day disaster. Okay, disaster’s a little strong; nobody died about it. People sure were pissed, though! And, to a degree, understandably so. When a runDisney bib absolutely mandates entering the virtual queue even before registration opens, people arrange their days accordingly. WAIT, WHAT’S WRONG WITH runDISNEY RACE REGISTRATION? If you’re not...

I guess it was inevitable, wasn’t it? It happened – I registered for the Dopey Challenge. Not that that makes me special. LOTS of people registered for Dopey. It was a very competitive registration year; every single event was gone within two hours. What makes it funny is that I really, genuinely, truly wasn’t sure I’d ever do it...

My fellow runDisney enthusiasts, are you ready to have your minds blown? My first runDisney race – and in fact my first race ever – was the 2013 Princess Half Marathon, which took place as it always has in late February. Would you like to know when I registered? NOVEMBER 11, 2012. NOVEMBER 11. REALLY. I just went to...

Read my latest screed on why you don’t need Club runDisney here! Raise your hand if runDisney race registration stresses you out. Everybody? We all raised our hands? Yeah, I figured as much. Heck, I’m planning a Dopey 2025 run – which you may notice is more than a year away – and I’m already a little freaked out...

Dangit, runDisney, you got me again! Despite my self-avowed wariness of challenges (which I have admittedly reneged on a lot), and despite my desire to save a little money for other things, runDisney just had to do it to me: for 2023, the Two Course Challenge is themed to FIGMENT. Figment!! I love Figment!!!!! Which is how, stupidly, I...

We still live in uncertain times, but I’m feeling hopeful enough to wedge a race schedule in there anyway. Well, half a race schedule. Not ENOUGH races, but some. Not the WHOLE year, but part. And yeah, sure, most are retreads of runDisney races, but I’m registered! That’s what counts! And so I am officially looking forward to: The...

Back in 2020, when runDisney was still operating as though races would continue in the coming year, the 2021 WDW Marathon (RIP) sold out in record time. How fast, you ask? My race buddy was thirty minutes behind registration opening and the marathon was already sold out. And that’s the full marathon, which historically has been a waltz. Yikes!...

The full trip report is over, but the details still need filling in. Read on for more May 2021 WDW fun! It happened!!! It finally happened!!!! runDisney has officially announced new, in person races! Including Wine & Dine for this November. I KNEW holding onto my resort reservations was a good idea. Hooray!!!!!! Now all I have to do is...
