    Where do I sign up for the Dopey Challenge?

    Welcome to planDisney and runDisney, David! Registration starts tomorrow (4/9) at 10 am Eastern, so I am going to keep this answer as quick as I will need to be tomorrow to get into the Goofy Challenge.

    Registration is on runDisney's website. On the page for runDisney Marathon Weekend, you can find information on the Dopey Challenge. Right now, this says "Registration Opening Soon." Tomorrow morning, right before 10 am, this will change to an option to register. 

    Registration flies like Eliud Kipchoge trying to break the 2-hour marathon barrier. I would recommend logging in by 9:50 am and following the links to register. You and all Dopey hopefuls will be put in a holding status and randomly assigned a number for your place in the queue precisely at 10:00 am. Everyone who enters to register after 10:00 am will be put in line after the early arrivals. You will see a screen with your approximate wait time. Do not refresh and be sure to keep an eye on the countdown as it tends to pace faster than expected. 

    Your bib is not secured until you have completed the registration process, including payment. Have your credit card ready. You will also be asked for t-shirt size and expected pace. If you are planning to enter a pace that is fast enough to require proof of time, I would recommend entering a slower time and updating it later. Do not waste registration time entering links from other races when you are rushing to this finish line. 

    Best of luck and please race back by planDisney with any questions about Walt Disney World or runDisney as you plan your trip to the Most Magical Place to Race.

    May the Force be with You!
