    Read up on some of the race registration statistics (helpfully compiled by RunningFool!) here.


  3. #3

    Increases for Wine & Dine, WDW marathon weekend events and Tinker Bell. Tink is shooting up (almost 10% in just a week), so don't wait if you want to do it!


  4. #4

    Tink took another jump in just a few days. It's now at 85%. Looks like it may sell out before the price increase on July 18.


  5. #5

    Tink is going fast! It's at 92% now. All the WDW marathon weekend races went up, and Wine & Dine got a little bump too. Princess opens tomorrow!


  6. #6

    Last call for Tinker Bell half! It's now at 97%, so will likely close before the day is through.

    RunDisney Race Capacity Updates [Updated Sept. 11]

    There often is, Tim. There are also sometimes travel arrangers that have spots. There might be info on the Disney site.

    The 2013 Princess Half Marathon took a BIG registration jump. As of October 8th, it's shot up to 72% capacity!

    The 2012 Mickey's Jingle Jungle 5k (part of the Wine & Dine Half Marathon weekend) also took a nice bounce and is up to 73% capacity.

    Princess half marathon is at 85%. If you're in the WDW area this weekend, the Jingle Jungle 5K still has openings, but will probably close soon.


  10. #10

    Princess got a bump from registrations prior to the price increase and moved up to 95%. Don't wait to register if you're planning to do this!


  11. #11

    Princess is now sold out. Tinker Bell has limited slots today.


  12. #12

    Registration for the Expedition Everest Challenge opened today. There is a new family edition that allows kids age 4 and over to run and complete a small obstacle course at ESPN Wide World of Sports in addition to the normal 5K with obstacles and scavenger hunt from previous years.

    I believe those are 2012 dates. The runDisney site hasn't been updated yet. The 2013 are listed at the main Disney.go.com site (https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/ev...4b6692ef61025c).

    And ToT just hit 52% capacity. Made it about 10 days faster than last year so it's doing ok.

    According to the runDisney email announcement about Wine and Dine, registration for the WDW Marathon weekend begins April 9. You might want to add that on the listing.

    2014 Princess registration opens June 11th. And 2014 Tinker Bell registration opens July 9th. No new pricing available yet (old pricing still on the sites) but given the jumps in the 2013 events, I can't wait to see the damage for 2014!

    I have Tink pricing through charity groups (which includes regular registration and charity registration). The difference listed isn't much.

    RunDisney Race Capacity Updates [Updated Mar. 26]

    Ok, then - should I be 'safe' in waiting to decide about Mickey until August?

    You'll have to watch the updates here or on runDisney to see how it is tracking. All bets are off this year with the Dopey Challenge getting so much interest. It took the 2012 event over 9 months to sell out. The 2013 anniversary event sold out in just under 5 months so it's really hard to say how fast or slow it will go. We'll be checking capacity on a daily basis and posting updates so make sure you pop in here on a regular basis. You might also consider following Lani and Stephanie on Twitter if you don't already do so as they generally post updates if things start getting crazy.

    I would expect it to be somewhere in be less popular than the 2012 event since it's not an anniversary year. Some marathons are seeing falling numbers as half marathon numbers increase, and the Dopey will siphon off some people also.

    Either way it will be fun to watch. The day the Dumbo and Disneyland Half Marathon opened was totally crazy with updates every hour. I don't expect the same fun for the Dopey and WDW events but ya never know!

    Time for a capacity update! Tower of Terror just jumped 3% points to 70% capacity. Wine & Dine Half also jumped 3% and is now sitting at 68% capacity. We'll see how fast they continue to sell out after 2014 WDW Marathon weekend reg opens on Tuesday.
