Hiya, Cynthia! Welcome to planDisney!
Congratulations on securing a registration for the
Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon. How exciting! The
runDisney events throughout the year are very popular. It certainly is nice to have friends and family who are also running and can help with registration.
Cynthia, the timing of your question is impeccable because I’m currently in the process of doing the exact same thing! Earlier this week, my fellow
panelist Corey secured a registration for both of us to run the Dopey Challenge at the
Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend next January.
I have good news! The process to start managing your own registration is very straightforward. You will need to have your son send an email to
runDisney to initiate the process. In this email, he will need to carbon copy you and give permission to have the registration transferred from his account. He’ll also have to include the specific event category, and your participant information in the email. Once
runDisney completes the transfer to your account, you will be notified via email. And voilà, it’s that easy! The email should be sent to
runDisney@disneysports.com, and you can find all of this information in the
FAQ section of the
runDisney website.
Please note that registration for the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend was earlier this week, so your request may take a little more time than usual as the volume of these types of requests increases around registration time.
I absolutely love
runDisney events, Cynthia. For me, the energy and anticipation in the air is electric and unmatched. I have run many races outside of Walt Disney World Resort, and I can safely say that I’ve never had more fun running than I have with
runDisney.
I hope you and your son have the best time at the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend in October. Make sure to take in all of the offerings at the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. After all that running, you’ll have earned it!
Happy running!
Olivier
