Corral question for the PHM

thanks, i didn't think 24 mins difference would make a huge difference for a separate corral, oh well, thank you!!!! that's what we had to do for the TOT 2 yrs ago, 3 of us moved back to run with a friend that didn't have the same pace.Most likely, no. They will probably be a corral or two behind you. If you want to run with them, you can drop back to their corral, but they cannot move up to yours.

runDisney has been changing their corralling lately...I'm guessing when you did ToT there were 4-6 corrals? Now there are more corrals then there used to be. For example, here are the corrals for 2014 (you would have been in D and your friends would have been in H, I think?). They aren't guaranteed to be exactly like this for 2015, but I would guess they will be similar.

LOL, 24 minutes is a world of difference in a half marathon. It took me 9 years to drop from a Half time of 2:30 to the 2:06 I ran this past May!

Yeah. When you figure that only 12 people broke 1:30 last year, over 20,700 people finished between 1:30 and 3:30. (Max time to finish on/under pace) Breaking it down even more, about 700 people finished in under 2 hours, about 3,900 in under 2:30, with just about 10,000 under 3 hours. Which roughly corresponds with what @Ariel484 posted. About half the runners last year finished between 3 and 3:30. Then when you add in the fact that the faster corrals also hold less people, 24 mins could potentially be a long ways away from each other.

Wow, I never looked closely at the finishing statistics like that. It took over 3 hours to for half the field to cross the finish line! That says a lot about the people running a Disney race.

I'd be interested to look at a similar breakdown with the WDW Half vs. the Princess Half. My guess is the percentage of people finishing in the 3:00-3:30 range is less.

Well, let's see what I can pull up. In 2014 at the half in January looks like about 100 broke 1:30, 1750 broke 2, 6450 broke 2:30, 12,700 broke 3, so about 7,500 taking longer than 3 hours with the last people finishing at like 4:20, 4:30. Percentage wise the Princess was .05%, 3.4%, 18.8%, and 48.4% for the 1:30, 2, 2:30, and 3 windows. The WDW Half was .49%, 8.6%, 31.8%, 62.6% respectively. The over 3 group went from 51.6% at the Princess to 37.4% for WDW. These are all back of the napkin numbers, but give you an idea of the ranges.
