Hi Rebecca!
Congratulations on signing up to run
Disney's Wine and Dine Half Marathon this November! I run this event every year and I absolutely love it! It's my favorite running event because the theme is fun, the characters along the course are unique, and you can enjoy eating and drinking around the World Showcase after the race!
Your family and friends will be able to track you running live during the event. To use this feature, have your friends and family visit rundisney.com approximately one week prior to the race. They will select the event, go to Runner Info, and select Runner Tracking under Latest Updates. As the date nears, more detail will be released in the Digital Expo & Event Guide.
In the past, family and friends were able to watch runners cross the finish line by purchasing a ChEAR package. However, at the current time, there has not yet been an announcement regarding ChEAR packages for the 2022 races. On the website, there is a note that the spectator experiences are being evaluated. As such, I am unsure if spectators will be allowed to watch you along the course or at the finish line at the current time.
Your friends and family can definitely join you at the
post-race party! This event is a blast! As a runner, you will get into the post-race party as part of your race registration. Your friends and family can purchase tickets in advance to enjoy yummy goodies at the Global Marketplace, drinks from around the world,
EPCOT attractions, and live entertainment! This is a must-do event if you run the race!
I hope you have an amazing time at the race! I wish you safe training and travels!
Magically,
Stacy
