    Marathon Weekend 2024

    We own at BLT, and I've also stayed at Poly for marathon weekends. Poly is nice because you can just walk to/from the EPCOT monorail platform at TTC. BLT is really easy for getting to EPCOT for the start, since it is only one stop from TTC, but you then have to ride the entire resort loop...

    Marathon Weekend 2024

    Hoping to be back next year, definitely will be either Goofy or marathon, but I really wish we could see the course before hand. I know everyone loved to hate on WWoS, but I'll take Osceola+WWoS over Western Way+Blizzard Beach parking lot loops anytime. It's like runDisney was reading this...

    Marathon Weekend 2023

    Agree, we did the After Hours at MK as well, and it was a great way to experience the park (even though staying up until 1am after getting up at 2am for multiple days wasn't optimal). My son's comment "It's crazy walking through the park and not having to dodge around people"

    Marathon Weekend 2023

    My biggest challenge running in the teens and single digits is length of time. An hour is fine, but two to three hours and my lungs get irritated because of how dry the air gets (at least here in Colorado). The biggest variable I find with layers is whether you will have wind or not. You want...

    Marathon Weekend 2023

    Since I haven't signed up for a Disney race since mid-2019, maybe this has been covered already (a couple of quick searches didn't seem to turn anything up) When I put in proof of time for Goofy (I'm using a half marathon), it asks for race name/date/location and a link to results, as well as...

    Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend 2021 (April 15-18, 2021) - Now Virtual Only

    🤦‍♂️ Maybe I should read the whole thing. I stopped reading at "IF YOU'VE ALREADY MADE YOUR SELECTION...NO ACTION IS REQUIRED" not thinking there was new information in the emails

    Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend 2021 (April 15-18, 2021) - Now Virtual Only

    Did everyone get these again today? I made all of our selections Monday, but received the reminder email for all of our entries again today. This doesn't instill confidence since they don't send confirmation emails when you make your choice

    Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend 2021 (April 15-18, 2021) - Now Virtual Only

    Hoping someone can clarify for me on the virtual races. Do you have to run and submit your time on the originally planned race date? Looking at the marathon weekend page, they still had dates listed under each virtual event, and the race policies tab didn't really clarify for me if there is a...

    Marathon Weekend 2020

    Congratulations to all the runners this weekend! This was marathon weekend #9 for me, but we had lots of family and friends in town during the races so I couldn't attend any meetups. Here are my thoughts (running 10k and Goofy this weekend). I continue to be thankful for monorail resorts (for...

    Expo for Dopey Challenge - Is there a plan B?

    Be aware, the last few years the line at the Guest/Runner Relations tent on 5k morning was REALLY long. I remember only because I commented on it to my wife and kids. So if you do end up in this situation, get there as early as you can on race morning.

    Marathon Weekend 2020

    I'm with you. I liked the distraction of all the twists and turns in WWoS (maybe because I like trail running). I think that largely straight/exposed stretch from AK to Blizzard Beach is going to be a mental and physical challenge.

    Marathon Weekend 2020

    Sorry if I missed it while this thread was flying by, but has anyone found the USATF map yet for the marathon? My searches don't show it. The course wasn't certified until very late last year, so I'm probably too early.

    Marathon Weekend 2020

    2013 was my first Goofy, and it was the hottest of 7 Marathon Weekends I've attended. Last year was hot, but not as bad as 2013. The stretch from the Mile 20 Spectacular to the entry of DHS was a slog. With the new course, I'm not quite sure where to expect the pain to show up :) I...

    Marathon Weekend 2020

    Submitted 1:44:26 HM time, ended up in the low 30100's for Goofy. So hoping to hang on to my A corral for this year (barely made it last year)

    The Running Thread - 2019

    Question for folks that have run MCM before. I had my bib mailed to me, because at registration time I had no idea what my travel plans would be. Now that I have them nailed down, I have time to go to the expo. Is it worth it? I'm not huge on merchandise, but this is my first 50k. Do they...

    Marathon Weekend 2020

    Had the same experience as most here, with the spinning wheel for about 15 minutes. Finally got the family signed up for the 10k, and me for Goofy. Why must it be so hard to give Di$ney all of my money? :sad2:

    The Running Thread - 2019

    Question for all the ultra runners out there. I signed up for the MCM 50k which is Oct 27th. I've run a lot of marathons, but this will be my first exploration beyond 26.2 I found out last week that there is a new local marathon that will be held Oct 6th. The course looks intriguing, and I'd...
