With the Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend next month, runDisney shared an informational video full of tips to ensure you go from the expo to the corral as smoothly as possible. Here’s all the new information you need to know.
New 5K Start Time, Bibs & More
If you’re racing for that Aristocats-themed 5K medal, it’s important to note that times and bibs have changed:
- The official 5K start time is 4:30 a.m. This is 30 minutes earlier than in previous years.
- The 5K bibs (and only the 5K bibs) now have two tear tags, a top one for shirt pick-up and a bottom tag printed with your Start Group Opening Time. The top tag is redeemed at the expo, while you tear off the bottom tag for a Cast Member at your start group entrance.
- 5K participants can take continuous transportation to Disney Resorts Collection hotels, Shades of Green, Swan, Dolphin, and Swan Reserve from the EPCOT bus loop from 2:30 a.m. to 10 a.m.
Club runDisney Platinum and Gold Early Access
This year, Club runDisney Platinum and Gold members gain early access to the Field House and Athletic Center at 8 a.m. on Day 1 of the expo, so you can pick up your bib and shirt and get in some shopping before the main doors open. Follow the designated path from the Arena and follow Cast Members’ directions.
