Limited Number of Spots for RunDisney Wine & Dine Open TOMORROW
Last week RunDisney announced that November’s Wine and Dine Half Marathon weekend was going virtual. Participants who were registered for any of the races were given the option to get a full refund or participate in the virtual race and still get your medal and other items. We covered all the options in our post last week about the announcement.
Today, RunDisney has announced that they are going to open a “limited number of additional registration opportunities” for the races TOMORROW at 10 am EST. As of now, there are no details on how many spots will be open or what races will be available. We found the announcement via Twitter this morning:
