Did anyone get any sag wagon stories? I don't see any HM finish times later than about 3:43 or thereabouts - which means they must have been pretty strict...
None of us spectators got picked up by the sag wagon. Mark may have been in danger of the paddy wagon, handing out all those red cups on the course but it...
The web site says that the number of participants for the Goofy Challenge has been increased because of greater capacity of the half marathon course. What does...
Mike, Disney has increased the Half Marathon from 17,500 to 20,000. I would say it will be more crowded. Thanks, Robert http://www.DisneyRunning.com ...
That's bizarre. It's the same half marathon course as always: Start at Epcot, run to the Magic Kingdom, turn around, run back, jog to the lake in Epcot, turn...
Does anyone know if there is online tracking for the Country Music Marathon and Half? I've been searching the site, but haven't been able to find it. It's...
Crawled out of bed at 6:15 and found it raining and cold. I hoped my friend (who was picking me up at 8) would call and say "are we crazy? We aren't really...
Yikes, Louise, I am hoping that I am not facing that in the morning - but the forecast says rain. Today was perfect for the youth run - overcast, cool and...
Woo Hoo Louise..great race report and in spite of the weather..you did awesome. I see a Goofy medal in your future. Daria....has got o get to bed...another 5K...
Part 2: The run started, and within 1/2 mile I needed to walk. In fact, I almost quit. I came really close to just bailing altogether. I turned around to...
Yesterday was the 6th running of the Memorial Day Mackinac Bridge Run. Well, it was supposed to be the 6th running of the bridge. Thursday night I got an...
My friend Mary D gave me the nicest present..................a figurine of runner Mickey. She had bought it at her first (and only?) Mickey race years ago,...
After completing the Disney Marathon in 2009, my 5th overall,,, I foolishly registered for the Goofy Challenge in 2010... i know it is early to be too...
Has anyone run this race yet? I am registered for this year (October 24) and am looking for any information/personal observations/insight anyone can offer. I...
Hi Robyn, I did it the 1st year and volunteered last year. It is a fun run but as a back of the packer, you don't get much party time. Plus drinks and beer...
Hi Robyn; I only went on the first year. It's quite a different experience from the marathons/half-marathons at WDW because the route is different and it's at ...
Heck Lani, I'm ready to just go down there alone myself. Sounds like some fun things to do. Altho, if I stayed at the Beach Club I might just sit at ...
Thanks for the information Lani and the link. I am going down on my first solo trip to run the Tower of Terror and then hit the parks at my pace, my way,...
He's home! He left Afghanistan on the 9th, arrived home (Florida) today. Don't know when we'll get to see him, but we are so relieved to have him set foot...
Greetings,,,, I have looked around for on the Disney site, and can't seem to find data on how many folks start the Marathon, and how many finish... Same on...
I don't know if they make DNF numbers available or not in the results, but I'd guess not. I think most of races in general get about 15% no shows on race day,...
Mark, Nancy is right. The Goofy isn't a relay. You do get a bracelet at packet pickup(non removable) which you wear during the half and it gets cut off you ...
When this all started, the Yahoo groups were the only way to communicate and stay in touch. My how things have changed. If you've got a Facebook account, you...
Well like less than 60 days to the Marathon !! and the Goofy Challenge ,,, do I read their E-mail right ??,, as there is no Post Race Party at Downtown,,, only...
Hi Mark, Yes, Disney has gotten rid of the "free" post race celebration. You now have to pay. They announced this several months ago. I will be skipping it....
Ice baths are GREAT! They make a huge difference! Wish I was going this year! I envy a 10 min pace!! Natalie Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile ... From:...
Hey Robert - having run the Tower of Terror three weeks ago, I was unaware of the ticketed post-race party. ToT was free to runners and $30 for friends and...
Hi Robyn, I have heard the race will start at 10 pm and the post race party will go to 2am(which is tentative). Not much time for a party for slower people...
