This is what I remember too - 5K and 10K had mini waves, marathon did not.They did for the 10K Marathon weekend, and maybe the 5K (I wasn't really paying attention and may have missed that!). I don't recall them doing it for the marathon, though.
No, you find out when you get your bib on those.Did 5k and 10k come out?

We knew about the 10k for the lightside this year... Is the a DL thing?
Speculation time! Looking at the 5K map, we're running back past the east side of Spaceship Earth, so, since that leaves the western part as "the Dark Side" ( ) even during sunrise...AKA perfect non-running area to have a sweet setup for a Death Star projection! Dear runDisney, DO IT!!!
Did anyone else notice the section between DHS and Epcot runs on the Boardwalk side instead of Yacht and Beach? That was interesting to see. But I love how the 10K is on the Y&B side. For Challenge runners, we get to do both sides!
Anyone with late registration experience know how often they update the waivers? It says these are good for registration through 3/23/17. I just want to know how often I'll need to stalk the webpage for my DH's waiver to come up.
I think whatever time they choose (3 hours seems reasonable, but they could leave it 2:45) there should be no delineation of times after that. Anyone without a verifiable proof of time inside of the cutoff gets evenly split into the last 2-3 corrals. I kind of feel bad for the people in G who probably tried to be honest and were jumped by a bunch of people who were just aware of how the system works.
I realize it's a no win situation; this just seems like they handcuffed themselves by soliciting estimated finishing times in a very transparent manner.
At the end of the event guide, they show all the upcoming rD races - they already have the date for 2018 Dark Side (April 19-22) so that should put an end to any rumors that they are discontinuing this race weekend! Light side is still on hold though.
Just squeaked into Corral B
Wine & Dine did not do Mini waves last year. Marathon was first I think with just some of the races doing them, someone who ran marathon weekend I'm sure can chime in.
They really should have used this course for Wine and Dine once they moved it to the morning and the after party wasn't a factor. But who knows, if this set-up runs smoothly maybe they will, since the site still doesn't have a start or finish point listed for this year's W&D.
Anyway, I am so incredibly happy and really hope nothing happens to cause a problem for this race. The course is reminiscent of the old Wine and Dine, with obviously a bit less DHS, but it's as close as we're going to get with the construction. So getting to run the pieces of 3 parks in one race will be great! I absolutely cannot wait!
This will only be my third trip to wdw ever! It's a nice change from DL.Super excited to see how happy everyone is with the course. This is my first WDW runDisney race, and I've only been to WDW a handful of times, so it's hard for me to evaluate, but seeing everyone's reaction has me very fired up.
