First, get your waiver here. Download and print the waiver and it will give you your bib number (lower right-hand part of the form).
Corrals
Check your bib number against the corrals listed in these images.
Sorry, 5K and 10K runners; corrals are not released for these races.
Important to note: corrals are very different this year! Wave starts within smaller corrals means you want to go ahead and arrive in your corral EARLY.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

Patty Holliday has been running Disney since 2011. She knows just about every tip, trick, and hack there is to cover the runDisney Magical Miles at Disney World and Disneyland. She knows every mile isn’t *always* magical- but with training, tips, and a little bit of pixie dust, they can be a lot of fun! You can also find her at noguiltlife.com and noguiltfangirl.com
What food (gels etc.) and beverage (water/sports drink) will be available for runners on the course?
For the marathon, there are a few food stops: Clif gels, bananas, & chocolate are the ones that come to mind. Water and powerade also available on course (I think every other mile?). That should be covered in the event guide linked here.
Where do I find my Bib number before the Expo
In the link above! It’s the first link on this post. You download your waiver and at the bottom right-hand corner when you print it out you will see your bib number.
Hi there! For the full marathon, I’m in corral D and I understand they will do smaller waves within each corral as you mentioned getting there early. Is placement within your assigned corral just based on arrival time, not your bib number? Thanks!
Correct. You will determine placement- basically by how soon you arrive in the corral. If being in the first mini-wave of D is important to you- head right to the corrals when they open (an announcement will be made in the reunion area). Don’t wait.
Exactly what I needed to know – thank you!!
Have a GREAT race!!!
Patty, do you know why there were so many more corrals last year? Is this year smaller?
Not smaller; just bigger corrals! This is how it was until — gosh, 3 years ago I think? Then they expanded to P corrals. They are doing mini-waves inside the big corrals, though. So the earlier you get into the corral the sooner you will start.
Do you know if submitting time for a 10 mile, or half marathon holds the same weight as submitting time for a full marathon?
If you submit a half marathon for time, they seem to double the half time and add 15 minutes to it. Where putting in a full marathon as proof of time should give you the exact time you’ll be seeded at. Does that help?
Once you are in your “wave” are you able to leave and use the restroom and come back, or are you stuck?
You can come and go once you get into the corrals- but it gets packed in pretty tightly the closer to race time. So moving back up to the front waves might be more challenging. But it can be done! 🙂 Good luck!
