Are you here for ELO? They did an amazing job last night! Canāt wait to go back again this evening.
Expo check in pass is now in runDisney accounts. I am doing the challenge, so can only say that those are up. I imagine the other races expo check in passes are up as well.
They are

They just sent out an interesting email. Event medals may not arrive on time.
They are asking runners to confirm their address.

Maybe this is why they donāt allow preorders for products anymore.
Not a good look thatās for sure

I'm now wondering what will be available at the Expo...
Sure, here you go:
We look forward to welcoming you this week to the inaugural runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend, as we celebrate Yestermorrow!
In advance of the weekend events, we wanted to share with you the unfortunate possibility that our event medals may not arrive from our supplier in time for the event, due to recent global supply chain challenges. Although we have been working to resolve this matter, we cannot guarantee at this time the medals will be available at the finish line.
We understand that receiving a race medal is a special moment that epitomizes the hard work and dedication you've shown while training for the event. Please know that if the medals do not arrive by race time, we will get the well-deserved medal(s) to those who participated in the event, in the most timely fashion possible.
ā¦Thank you for running with us. We will continue to keep you apprised of the situation and look forward to seeing you soon.

People are absolutely freaking out on social media. Is it super disappointing? Absolutely. But things happen, and runDisney has certainly not been immune to its share of unfortunate situations over the years. I sincerely hope that people do *not* take this out on anyone at the Expo, or the races themselves (especially the volunteers at the finish line area).
Just went into my account to check on the shipping address thing.
I have never seen this but I suggest EVERYONE running this event to go into their account and ensure your shipping info is there.
Mine was not, and I had to manually input it in a new part of the registration under āshipping addressā.

I'd actually be quite happy to get my medal shipped home so I don't have to deal with it. Especially if it were a challenge weekend with a bunch of medals. I get why some would be upset but trying to keep those things from smashing together in my luggage sucked.
Thankfully I stay at PVB for races normally so I have paper towels to wrap them in.
I was actually thinking this. Is it a shame to not be able to take pictures? Definitely, but at least the medals wonāt be damaged (hopefully).

Thatās true. Iām a local, so thankfully I donāt have the issue of transporting them home, but the recent production quality has definitely made them significantly more delicate. I do like to receive them in-person so I can do a quick check to make sure everything looks good and exchange if needed. But if supplies are low this weekend, they might not be allowing that even if they do have some in-hand to give out.
Hopefully theyāll either ensure they have enough to give every finisher one or hold off and ship them all. Say they only had enough for the top 75% - could you imagine what the outcry would look like?
