Registration opens today for the runDisney Wine & Dine Half Marathon weekend events at Walt Disney World. Do you plan on running in the Jungle Jingle 5k or the Wine & Dine Half Marathon? If so, you should be prepared. Registration opens at 12:00 p.m. EST, 11:00 a.m. CST, try and be online a few minutes early to help ensure you get the race you want.
To make the registration process go smoothly, here's a list of what you should have on hand when you sit down at your computer.
1. What races do you and your family plan on participating in? Are you planning on going to any of the other race events, like the International Food & Wine Fest After Party at EPCOT or the Pre-Race Taste at Hollywood Studios? Make a list, with the most important race/event at the top. Be aware that the runDisney races fill up fast, and you may not get into all of the events that you want.
2. You'll need to know all of your information in order to register for each event. Name, Date of Birth, Phone Number, Mailing Address, Email Address, Credit Card information, Billing Address, and Shirt Size. If you already have your Proof of Time, you'll also need the race information: Name of Race, City/State/Zip, Date of Race (year), Distance of race, and your Finish Time. (Don't worry, if you don't have your proof of time yet, you have until August to submit it).
Once you get registered for all of your events, you'll want to book a room at one of the participating resorts to make race day easier. Please contact Kristin for a quote.
