Yeah this was a photoshop job not done by someone at RunDisney.I think someone in the group said it was a photoshop job by the original poster.

Yeah it will be really interesting to see what all races do for that matter.This post did make me think... Since Wine & Dine isn’t until November, I do not anticipate it will be cancelled. However, we could still be phasing back into our new reality, which will most likely include new protocols for large events. How do you think Disney might handle this? The event is already sold out, so they do not have an option to limit capacity. They can adjust corrals and waves to spread us out, but that doesn’t help the starting line.

I unfortunately agree. At this point, without a vaccine or testing, I think Wine & Dine is 50/50 at best.There’s a strong chance the race will not take place as planned. Unless a vaccine is developed or a breakthrough is found to keep the virus from being so infectious, I don’t expect many insurance companies will be game for writing policies for mass participation events this year. Many of the usual volunteers who support races may not feel comfortable being surrounded by thousands of people, handing them water, etc., by this fall either.
I don’t know. Disney expects to be open by September at the latest. You have tons of races moved to the fall now as well. Someone has to bite the bullet and be the first race to go off since all of this has happened. Surely that won’t be Disney but Disney will be watching for sure.There’s a strong chance the race will not take place as planned.

I’m thinking if characters are on course they will be for crowd support and not meet-able also no provided water/fuel on courseThis post did make me think...

I’m mentally thinking it’s a 60/40 chance the race will not happen (however when I commented to an influencer how I fully expect all fall/winter events at theme parks to be dropped even with parks reopen he said it was doubtful as they would want the revenue )There’s a strong chance the race will not take place as planned.

That's just it. If Disney isn't forced to cancel the extra events they won't because they are going to need the revenue. The parks are one of their biggest revenue makers.I’m mentally thinking it’s a 60/40 chance the race will not happen (however when I commented to an influencer how I fully expect all fall/winter events at theme parks to be dropped even with parks reopen he said it was doubtful as they would want the revenue )
A friend in my Facebook run group posted below. Probably it was someone at Run Disney trying to be funny and published below content in live-mode, instead of test-mode of the website. It's not on the website anymore, but has anyone else seen it?

Times are not available yet but usually 7-8PMHow late is the expo usually open to check in and get the bib for the races?
So many are in the same boat. You will have to make do with what you have unfortunately.Hi, all! I'd like to submit a proof of time race result, but because of the current situation there are zero potential races that I could get to between now and August 4th. I did find a USATF-certified race I could enter that takes place on August 8th, however. Does anyone know if there's a way to perhaps petition runDisney to consider accepting those results as my POT? I have emailed them a similar question, but I received a standard canned response suggesting I continue checking the web site. Thanks!

Yea my ADR day is Saturday and as of now we’re thinking even if the race is inevitably canceled depending on the state of the parks we’d still do a staycation as we live about an hour awayNow I realize this race may not happen, but that isn't stopping me from making my plans like it will.
It just feels good to have ADRs booked.
Nope don’t need anything but your bib to run unless you are going to purchase anything at the finish line.The wine and dine will be my first ever run..... So I'm so very happy its a Disney run! I am just wondering what everyone brings to the race in the morning. I know you need to check in the day prior to get your bib, but do you need to bring anything else to the actual run.... I do not want to carry any extra stuff so I'm wondering if I have to bring I.D.? I know I'll have car keys (not staying on property this time, we love our DVC) and a small snack, but do I need anything else?
