Question. For those of us who switch to virtual, will our refund be in the form of an actual refund to our CC or the Disney gift card? Kinda hard to use the gift card if your not at WDW....

From what I can tell it’s a GC which isn’t right. To your point if you’re not there why have a GC. Prob why I’d cancel and rebook if I do it.

The medals are cool and all. But I will miss the 2:45am wake ups with breakfast food I strategically bought the day before. Psyching myself up in the room, the walk through the empty hotel lobby to the shuttle bus. The quiet early mornings on the bus, excitement building, and all the fun/nonesense/boredom that happens in the corral waiting for A to blast off. I cannot wait to get a rD weekend back. They truly are the best.

You don't miss US? ☹️

OK! When presented with lemons make lemonade. The runDisney Disneyland races were placed on hiatus a while back, well!, why can't runDisney present those races as "VIRTUAL" races also. Let's get the full runDisney racing calendar back up. A bad start to 2021 does not mean things can not change for the better. Options, give the customers options. Oh yea, I believe the Force will be with us for the Star Wars Rival Run weekend. Not going to give up.

Yeah, if everything is going virtual, then bring back the Anaheim races as virtual. None of the issues, then, that put them on "hiatus". Although running is a challenge right now with the smoke from the fires.

That was my thought, this is probably the only time I’ll ever be able to swing a Castaway Cay medal, so I’ll be doing that. Also, while I’m bummed not to be able to go to a live race, I really like that they reduced the prices and you don’t have to get a million t-shirts (or any) if you are doing a challenge or multiple races.

The fun of doing Castaway is running on the island....and surviving the Loop of Death.

If the race has gone virtual, that means the cruise will probably be cancelled. That will make my 4th DCL cruise cancelled.

That loop requires so much motivation to get though...it is what started me on this crazy runDisney journey.

So, those who will be racing what are you going for?

As for my answer, I am definitely going for a 10K and castaway challenge.

Which if I am understanding this right I can just get the castaway challenge without worrying about not doing the other races besides the 10K?

I may add on another race if I change my mind but we shall see for now these are the two I am really after.

So...I asked this before but can we checkout for multiple races at a time? Worried I won’t be able to get the ones I want. The queue’s worry me.

Yes, just select "register for another" or something like that once you put in all your info. Warning. Sometimes it doesn't work.

The first time I ran the Castaway 5k, I thought I was going to die.
My husband and I ran/walked it maybe 2013-2014, back when they gave out those plastic Mickey ear “I’m a Winner!” medallion things. My husband greatly underestimated the weather, and suffered from severe dehydration later in the day. Ended up in the infirmary on an IV and missed our dinner at Remy.

That course is no joke! It’s easy to forget to take precautions when you’re on vacation. We haven’t been on a cruise since - I really want to make it up to him, haha!

While crew members tell you about that loop through the hedges, you really don't understand why it's called that until you've actually run it. Who'd think running on a completely flat course would be so challenging. But there is the 1 mile hike to the starting point, lol.
