2016 Disneyland Paris Half Marathon

So correction apparently they are being smart and only distributing a certain amount each day. You should have a shot at the pin if you do want it.



No you do that behind the merchandise booth. They have a couple of tables set up to link the bibs.

Can you elaborate on this? I asked two expo Photo Pass people and they said you don't have to do anything special with the PhotoPass card. Or are you talking about the general bib photo they are telling everyone to do?

It's a separate line. It's next to the C2C line but much shorter and they had an extra person helping today

Thank you guys I'm gonna head over there now to have both of those things set up!
 




Yeah lots on instagam & twitter even by rundisney themselves like said above. search #disneylandparishalf
THis guy has lots including a 5k video https://twitter.com/ed92live?lang=en

Congrats all running, looks like so much fun! So jealous Roger Rabbit was out!!!!
Holy crap, this must be some other rundisney because I never see pictures for other races from them.

But actually, i dont want just staged pics, send pics of expo, standing in corrals, etc...this lets us have some fun by living vicariously through you

If you have Twitter or instagram just use the hashtag #disneylandparis5k or #disneylandparishalf that's how I live vicariously through people. You'll have on course photos, expo, photos and more.
 
And 2 hours and 54 minutes later I was done. Extremely pleased for my first run ever! Didn't stop for pictures although I was tempted when I saw Jafar, Jasmine and... The Sultan! But didn't do it.

Further I ran by, Chip&Dale, Aristocats, Darth Vader and Storm Troopers, Belle and the Prince but they just left to be replaced by Cinderella and her prince, Mr and Mrs. Incredible, Baloo and King Louie, The Sherrif from Robin Hood and I am probably forgetting a few. Backstage some nice things to see, old statues, old Buzz Lightyear carts etc. And they have backstage the Avenue of the Gargoyles with huge statues of the Gargoyles from Hunchback. :)

Run was good and well organized. Besides the very slow start, they let people on to the course in very small groups. So I past the start around 7.35. And that there were no Ladies bathrooms in the expo center, but i was sent outside to the portable ones... :(

Last note: I have never seen/heard so many different American accents in DLP! ;) everywhere I looked were Americans!

Photopass website isn't active yet, would take 2-3 weeks after the run, the girl said when i bought it. Do hope it will be in English as well.

We were in the start of corral C, the race was delayed about 10 mins (never could hear why), and then 30 mins to get corrals A and B started. Started about 7:40, and was surprised how much it spread out quickly. Always around other runners but we didn't hit any horrible bottlenecks, despite the first 5k being in the parks. So many characters! And good number of cheering cast members. Well done, especially for a first year.

A couple pics:

Saw that you guys got actual printed finisher backdrops, I much prefer that over the banner overlays they did for the last few race in the states, wonder if they'll change here?
What is the barcode for on your bibs?

Again amazed at all the cool characters out! thanks for posting & congrats.
 
Hi everyone, this is my first post since joining, but been a "lurker" for a while and listened to the podcast for years as well, but wanted to say that I ran in the Paris Half over the weekend and thought it was awesome! One thing that I wanted to ask was about the pins. I got to the EXPO at 9am on Saturday and was told they had totally sold out of pins. I then asked a few other people, just in case, but all said the same thing! Really disappointed as wanted the pin for both the half and the castle to chateau :sad:
Does anyone know if these are going to be sold online or best to stalk out eBay in case someone sells theirs?
Thanks all.
