I notice the Two Course Challenge is now called the Wine & Dine Challenge. Depends where you look. I do not like that, but I enjoy the World Showcase Country theme!!!
And a 4:30 start time for the 5K???!

Considering the 5K is typically the first race to sell out (and the most inviting for Disney enthusiasts), they're gonna open the gates to make as much as they can. I bet it still sells out with a dramatic increase. And maybe their 5K merch will sell better than it typically does.

What race sells out first really depends. 10K sometimes is first as well. Sometimes even a challenge sells out first. They could theoretically increase numbers for all races as the demand is there.

I agree.

I have been running since 2006. Back then, and for years after, races were open for months after and sometimes on race weekend. Sometimes, even available day of. YES, they sold bibs at the expo (and I have been to expos at WWoS baseball field, at Coronado ballroom, at Motion Nightclub, and at Yacht ballroom!

Now that all races sell out, very early, I do believe that all races could benefit from more particpants- and Disney could benefit from more Guests! They are leaving money out on the table!

Have any of you ever been to an Expo away from the current traditional expo at WWoS? Yacht, Coronado, Motion, Baseball stadium???

It sounds like it but who knows. It's a weird change to begin with.

not really. With a 30min earlier start time they could potentially get another couple "flights" of runners for the 5K. Given the 5Ks always sell out in minutes, getting more availability isn't a bad thing.
