Race Bib and Start Group Assignment
Each participant is assigned a race bib. Please wear the race bib centered on the front of your outermost garment. It is the responsibility of the runner to wear their bib during the race, as well as to know the following:
-
In order to receive an accurate time, please confirm that your bib is:
- Clearly visible on the front of the torso
- Unaltered and unmodified (do not fold, wrinkle or iron)
- Pinned in all 4 corners
- Not covered with shirts, jackets, winter wear, runner belts, water bottles, etc.
-
If a participant is seen without their bib number while running on the course, they will be removed from the course for security and safety reasons.
-
The letter on your bib will determine your assigned start group. Start groups are assigned based on proof of time provided for the half marathon or your estimated finishing time. Start groups are based on anticipated pace per mile for the 5K and 10K.
-
No start group changes will be made at the runDisney Health & Fitness Expo.
-
Remember to fill out the Emergency Medical Information on the back of the bib.
For more information on your Race Bib and Start Group Assignment, please review the race policies for your event.
