By taking advantage of this special offer, you have a guaranteed spot for the 2018 Star Wars Half Marathon – The Dark Side weekend being held April 19-22, 2018 in your races of choice. By guaranteeing your spot now, you won’t have to worry about whether you’re off work on registration day, or events selling out before you are able to register. Again, you are GUARANTEED your spot by taking advantage of this special offer, after booking your package with Pirate and Mermaid Vacations you will receive an email from Active.com and runDisney prior to the May 23, 2017 general registration opening with a custom link to complete your race registration. This link will also let you purchase any special marathon pre-sale merchandise and add on Coast-to-Coast challenges.
Also by taking advantage of this special offer, you’ll have the option to purchase travel insurance – which includes coverage of your race registration! Which is amazing because runDisney doesn’t offer refunds and no longer offers deferrals, but with this insurance, your bib and vacation are covered if you have to cancel for any insured reason. And unlike other travel providers that may have similar offerings going on right now, Pirate and Mermaid Vacations has NO MINIMUM night stay requirement (outside of the one night stay runDisney is requiring) and NO PARK TICKET requirement. This means you can book the package that works best for your party at the resort of your choice. And, if an applicable sale comes out between now and Half Marathon weekend, your Adventure Coordinator will get it applied to your stay!
