Hi Joseph, and welcome to planDisney! So sorry to hear that you did not get a bib for the
Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend. It is definitely the most popular of the
runDisney weekends and there were certainly many runners today vying for a race bib.
Fortunately, there are some backup options for you to try and secure a race bib. First,
runDisney collaborates with many charities to help them meet fundraising goals. You can register for any available charity bibs these organizations may have so long as you meet the fundraising goals they have for the given race. You can see
a list of participating charities here. I ran the half marathon during a previous Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend for a charity that was important to me and it felt more meaningful running the race knowing that my efforts were going to a good cause.
Second, you can work with a
runDisney travel provider to book a
runDisney vacation package. The
same website gives more information on how to book through a travel provider. Lastly, I also recommend checking the
runDisney website often as spots may open up, particularly when participants have to cancel due to medical or personal issues.
Joseph, wishing you the best of luck in securing a race bib for this upcoming Marathon Weekend. It’s sure to be a fun one, especially with all of the fun Donald Duck theming! If you have any further questions about
runDisney or Disney vacations in general, feel free
to contact me and my fellow panelists here at planDisney!
Your pal,
Sean
