I can't justify $105 for a virtual 10k

I can totally understand why. The 10K has the medal and shirt design that appealed to me the most which is why I went for it.

I buy XL because I like a loose fit. But I always get L runDisney shirts.

I would have signed up for the Mile Fun Run just for the cotton Hook shirt!!

The kids would have been super excited about that! My 8yo is doing the virtual series this summer with us, I’m sure he could have done the mile run and been super excited. Oh well. Someday in person.

Me too. Trying to convince my mom and sister to do the 5k. They can walk it. They like Disney. We’ll see what happens.

I was trying to convince myself to do the half but I’m not really a fan of the color of the shirt so I can’t justify it.
Star Wars Virtual possibly we shall see.
I am however, excited for my 10K.

So do we have to do the race on what would have been the "actual" date? It would be nice if we got the stuff early so we can wear the shirts when we do our race.

I don’t think you have to, but most people will probably. As long as you do the run, you should be good. I’ll probably do it on or around the race day (weather permitting). I’ll try and do it on the day but we shall see.
The weather will definitely be cooler if I wait until the actual dates to do the races. Regardless of whether I complete the runs on the official days or do them prior to the dates, I plan on doing the 10K and Half on consecutive days to honor the "challenge" part of the Two Course Challenge. If anyone else signed up for the virtual challenge and plan on separating them out a little, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. However, for me personally, I will feel better with myself if I do them in consecutive days.
I saw nothing on runDisney's site that indicated such. Nor did I see anything giving a specific deadline - all they say is
"Medals will be shipped at the conclusion of the event completion timeframe."

Have I told you lately that I 👍 you?
Yep, I’d be shocked if we actually had the shirts and medals before the original date of the race. Frankly, I’ll be happy if they can just get my refunds on the races I cancelled before the first week of November!

They know that people will pay it. Besides how much are tech shirts normally sold for anyways?

I don’t know specifically, but when I ran the Myrtle Beach Marathon this year, about $55 covered a medal and long sleeve tech shirt, both of the same quality Disney uses, plus entertainment, food/water stops, a tank top for finishers and two craft beers.
However, we didn’t get a “digital goody bag” so maybe that’s where the huge price difference comes into play?

The digital goodie bag is just a bunch of coupons, if I remember. Never used it.
