Corrals are a big topic for any race –
especially for a runDisney race. It’s
really hard to find information on corrals online, and the first time you are
faced with corral assignment it can be overwhelming. With over 50% of the participants, for a big race
such as Princess, being new to runDisney, it’s an important topic to cover!
Here is my list of Frequently Asked Questions
to help!
Q. What is a corral?
A corral is a group of runners that are
classified by their estimated finish time.
For runDisney, the corrals are divided by letters: A, B, C, etc.
Q. Why are corrals helpful?
Grouping runners by estimated finish time
allows for runners to be surrounded by others who will run at the same
pace. Of course, some people stop for
characters or bathroom or at water stops, but for the most part, you will see
your corral running with you. This helps
keep congestion down and helps with safety.
It’s really hard to dash around people who are walking, or for them to
constantly have to keep to the side; so, it’s best for everyone involved!
Q. How are corrals assigned?
Corrals are assigned by the estimated finish
time the runner submits when they register. runDisney requires a proof of time
for their Half Marathon and Marathon races, not for the 5K or 10K. If you are running a Challenge, 10K/Half or
Dopey, then you will need to enter your proof of time, also. runDisney will group the corrals based on
proof of time by elite runners first, then group the rest in other corrals.
Q. How do you submit proof of time?
Proof of time needs to be from a certified
10K or longer such as a Half, 15K, or Marathon.
You can enter this information when you register or at a later
date. Each race has it’s own deadline
for entries. For details on links and deadlines for your race, see the following page:

Q. How will runners know which corral they are in?
Corral assignments are posted to the runDisney
website approximately one month before each race weekend:
-runDisney Page
-EVENTS
-Your Race
-RUNNER INFO
-Waivers
Download the waiver for your race, and your
Bib Number will be on the waiver. Using
this Bib Number, you can locate your Corral from the RUNNER INFO, Corral
Assignment page. runDisney will usually
post Corral assignments a few days after waivers; so, if you don’t see it, just
keep checking back.
Q. What Time do I need to be in the Corral?
Runner walk-out to corrals begins
approximately 1.5 hours before race start for races that are 13.1 miles or
longer. In order to find your corral, simply follow event signage or ask any
Cast Member or volunteer for assistance.
Q. What if a friend, spouse, or child is assigned to a different
corral but they want to run together?
A. In a place where every mile is magic, we
know our runners may want to share their experience with someone. Runners can
move backward in corral assignments to join a friend, child, or spouse, but
they cannot move forward. For example, if you are assigned to corral D, and
your friend is assigned to corral G, you can move back to G, but your friend can't to move forward to corral D.
Please note that no corral changes will be
made at the runDisney Health &
Fitness Expo.
Q. Do the corrals all start at once or is the start staggered?
Corral times usually will be 2 minutes to no
more than 5 minutes, depending on course and how runDisney is managing the
race. runDisney can utilize different
Waves within a Corral. This means they
have fewer corrals, but break each Corral into 3 or more sections or
“waves”. It’s always best to get there
early and get at the beginning of your Corral.
If you’ve never been to a large race like
runDisney, I know the Corrals can be overwhelming. The first two races we did, we really didn’t
understand the Corral system and how important it was. Now, I make sure that I have my proof of time
in! It’s also a really great way to
train and get ready!
