What if I can no longer participate with Team In Training?
If you are unable to commit, there will be a decline link in the invitation email for you to click on. This will let us know you'll be discontinuing your participation this season and will save you from receiving reminder emails and calls in the future regarding this event.
What if I commit to Team In Training and later am unable to complete the event?
If you need to discontinue your participation in the Team In Training program after you’ve signed the commitment agreement for any reason other than injury, deployment, or pregnancy, you are still responsible for your full fundraising commitment. If you cannot continue with the program due to injury, deployment, or pregnancy, a doctor's note or copy of military orders must be submitted in order to be released of your obligation to fulfill your fundraising commitment. Funds cannot be deferred towards participation in a future event.
How do I obtain my event entry for the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend?
If you need to secure your race entry through Team In Training: After you submit the Team In Training commitment and event details form, within one week you will be sent an email with instructions and a link to officially obtain your race entry. Please refer to the Commitment tab for all deadlines.
Can I switch my race distance?
You may request a distance change by emailing TNTRunWalk@lls.org. We cannot guarantee we will be able to honor the change request but are happy to do so if we have the requested bib available. Please note that changing your race distances MAY also require a change in your fundraising level.
Where has Team In Training contracted rooms?
Visit the Hotel tab for information about the hotel property, including address, room rate, and more.What does it mean if my fundraising level says “Half Cost Covered” for hotel stay?
Teammates who commit to a fundraising level that includes “half cost” of a hotel stay will have two options:
- Select another specific teammate who is also fundraising at a “half cost” level to share a room with. Neither teammate will be charged for the cost of the hotel room if both are fundraising for the same # of nights and select the same check in/out dates. Team In Training will not pair teammates together; both teammates must request one another.
- Buy out the other half of the hotel room to have to yourself or bring guests. Room cost is paid to LLS upon completion of the commitment form.
Teammates who commit to a fundraising level that covers the whole cost of the room will not be charged for their hotel stay (with the exception of possible occupancy fees, see below).
Can I bring guests to stay with me in my hotel room?
Guests in rooms are permitted as long as total occupancy does not exceed the hotel property’s limit.
- If you are fundraising for a whole hotel room OR are fundraising for half and buy out the other half, you may choose to have guests in your room.
- If you are fundraising for half of your hotel stay and choose to share a room with another teammate, both teammate roommates must agree on any guests staying in the room.
Additional fees may be charged for rooms with high occupancy.
How will I check in to my hotel room?
For rooms booked by Team In Training for teammates who are fundraising for hotel stay: All rooms are reserved under each teammate's name. To check into your room you will just need to provide your name and photo ID to the front desk. Just as they would for a reservation you made yourself, the hotel will also require your personal credit card to keep on file for incidental charges (room service, parking, etc.).
