I'll be living in FL between 4/1-5/1 so I'm out for this year's SWRRW but maybe 2021? I'm IN for wine/dine!

Hi All. I ran in the Marathon in January. The temperatures were brutal. What are the average temps for this race?

Start time temps between 60-70. Muggy.

My wife and I are super excited to be running our first Star Wars race in April! I had these made up for us to wear during the race.

Very nice. What does the main symbol mean and where did you get them?

The main symbol is from the animated show "Rebels" and represented a spy working against the Empire, it mostly represents a character named Ahsoka Tano who was Anakin's padawan and was on the shows "Clone Wars" and "Rebels". You can purchase her sabers at Dok Ondar's it they have the same symbol on the saber case as I do on the shirts. Made them at rushordertees.com. Yes, I'm a Star Wars geek.

Just noticed this on the event page. Hoping for legacy stuff.

I just hope that if there is a gift for legacy runners, it’s nicer than a plastic spatula. Maybe a tiny plastic lightsaber?

Is that what rD handed out for Legacy W&D?

Is that what rD handed out for Legacy W&D?

Yep, for the 5th year. 10th was a ceramic coaster set and small bamboo cutting board (much nicer!)

47 DAYS AWAY!!! Has anyone seen an official course map for the races yet? I remember someone saying it's generally the same as the Marathon course, but just curious if its 100% official yet.

The guide will come out a few weeks before the race.

Is there any site that shows the 2020 Rival Run magic bands and where to buy them?

They were sold only through runDisney and sold out pretty quickly. I was hoping the Disney Parks Blog would provide a photo as they did for the Marathon, Princess & W&D ones. Maybe when they post a story on race merchandise later in the month?

It looks like maybe they also produce them on demand as well at the expo?

Unlikely the same design, as the race MBs were sold as limited edition, which means only a set number were available for purchase -1,000 each for W&D, Princess and probably SW.

Neither the W&D or Princess race MBs were available for puchase at the Expo.

A good website for info on MBs, how they are available, including on demand designs, is Magicband Collectors. You can also submit a question to the guy who runs it. He's a collector of the things.

Good luck!

Any rumors about race status? NYC cancelled the half marathon this coming Sunday and there's lots of chatter about Boston in April.
