Did you do this for marathon weekend?
Curious as I was at both and princess seemed so much busier.
That’s interesting, I know the overall numbers were almost certainly limited due to Covid concerns, but the total women in the Half Marathon dropped by a little over 40% while the total male participants only dropped a little less than 25% from 2020. For the 10k numbers dropped roughly 15% female and 3.5% male. The number of male participants has definitely grown over time, but the proportion seems to have had an usually large jump compared to the past trend.
Will be interesting to see what the numbers are for the Springtime Surprise, given it's the inaugural year.

I found my Princess 10k photos on my Disney experience app.

Race photos are fairly immediate. You enter the code with your bib number into MDE and they will link to your account.

I did that last Wednesday and they haven’t come up on MDE yet.

Then you may need to contact photopass. Typically they are up within 24 hours.

You didn’t have something obscuring your bib number I hope? I’m not sure about races at WDW, but at DLP they use the bib number to identify you.
Same for WDW races - your bib number is used to identify you. However, for one race several years ago, 2 photos of another couple appeared in my race photos. I wasn't near them for the photographer to pick up my bib. Weird.
I’ve had that happen before, it’s usually due to having a similar bib number. One of the numbers on the stranger’s bib can get caught in a glare, weird angle, or partially obscured such that it make Disney’s computer read it as another number.
@the.dreamfinder I read on one of the Facebook groups where some other people had issues with race photos not linking up after their Princess 2022 races. One or two had gone back and re-entered their bib number code into Photopass and they started showing up soon thereafter. I’d recommend trying that, maybe it didn’t “catch” in the system the first time you entered it?

Was very surprised to see this but I received my medal and shirt for the Virtual Princess Half Marathon! Package apparently arrived on Monday.

What do we think the cut-off date for POT races will be?
Also any thoughts on the medals or Princesses for each race

I've finally signed up for my first runDisney event at WDW. My sister and I are signed up for the Princess 10k through a charity site. My niece wanted to be sure to be able to register for the challenge that weekend so she did it all through the charity site. Now need to come up with ideas on how to raise money for the charity donation, this is all new to me. This will be my first time participating in a runDisney event, I watched my niece run in February and April this year. Kind of excited even though I'll have to walk the race.
My niece is on her honeymoon Disney cruise now and texted me asking if I can find out the theme for the Princess weekend. Any ideas?

Normally they show the race themes on the virtual page first, but you'd have to keep checking back on the event pages to see when they show up. I imagine it'll be pretty soon given the early registration starts in a week or so.

Congratulations. And as long as you don’t have mobility issues that would prevent you from running, you do have plenty of time to safely start a training program to complete a 10k.

I had both of my knees replaced when I was 45, double checked with my orthopedic and he says no running. Started my walking training program yesterday.
