    Hi Lori - I'm making a goal to run my first half-marathon in 2013. How far ahead of the marathons should we plan to arrive? Also, what are the general hours to pick up our run packages? How long is the typical wait-time to pick up the packages? Thanks!

    Hi Elizabeth!  Congratulations on setting a goal for yourself!  That is half the battle! 

    Personally, I like to be there one full day before my race.  It wouldn't hurt you to get there the day before, but if my race is on Sunday, I like to be there by Friday.  Usually, the expo will be open from about 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.  The packet pick-up will only take around 20 minutes.  However, there is always a great expo with vendors, so you will want to spend some time shopping around!  I generally allow myself at least two hours.  There will also be a speaker series with some speakers offering tips on running, fitness, and also about Disney.

    I hope this helps!  Please let me know if I can do anything else to help you reach your goal! You can do it!!!
