I don't think the two compare and D23 wasn't canceled but moved to the following year. This is thousands inside a large convention center. Much harder to control. Races can be done if they want.

This is why I deleted my original comment after thinking about it.

...If it is switched I’ll probably be running in it virtually. If I have the funds after that splurge on most of the virtual races.

Either way, I’m running the 10K. I’m signed up for the princess 10K with tech-shirt and medal.

Yea, I thought the medal only deal wasn’t a bad deal and I really liked the look of most of the medals so went with the challenge and 5K. No shirts.

Would probably do the same for rival run...of course depending on price and funds.

Also want to see how I handle my first challenge.

I saw a pic on google images of the event shirts for princess, and they look nothing like the tech-shirts from princess this year. They looked like cotton t-shirts without run Disney on the sleeves. Sis and I better be getting the regular tech-shirts like they had at princess of this year. These virtual races are expensive enough, so they better not cheat us.

You seem to be correct about the sleeves. Always read the blog posts.

That’s a question for the princess thread. Don’t want to derail this one but they specifically say “Event Tech Shirts”.

Ok I’m sorry! I’ll move to that board now.

Was just thinking...if this is turned virtual how do they handle the kessel run?

You never submitted a time for that before so I don't see any difference.

Yea but how do they register those already registered for the virtual half marathon?

See what I am saying? Just curious.

Not really sure what you mean? I see them just going as is and you would run 2 half marathons (or at least supposed too).

I am already signed up for a virtual half marathon as I’m sure others are as well (since I didn’t plan on going down to Star Wars this year) hopefully next though.

Would they give the option to fold virtual half into a kessel run? Probably for a higher price?

Possibly.

Possibly.

I have been signed up for the Kessel Run Challenge and am fully looking forward to pounding the pavement at WDW. This pessimism needs to become optimism. Large outdoor sporting events can happen safely, its been done and demonstrated to the world with the Tour De France. If the French can do that, well, within the WDW property bubble the races can definitely happen.

But Disney can do as they please. As we found out with marathon and princess. Even though races are happening elsewhere.

I didn’t mean it as pessimism. Just curious how it would work.

It would take a lot of work which I think given the current state Disney is trying to avoid. Much smaller more spread out waves of people. Spectators restricted from runner areas. The list goes on. It can be done though. Space coast is going to do it.

And it's in Anaheim. DLR hasn't reopened and no word on when it will.

You submit a time for the Virtual Half. Done it every time since it was initiated in 2018.
