    Wine & Dine 1/2 marathon weekend 2021

    I would absolutely love to sign up - I've been wanting to do W&D for years, but somehow the dates never worked for me. This year I could make it work. But, being an international runner and with the travel still firmly in place, November is just a little too close for comfort. ☹ There's nothing...

    The Running Thread - 2021

    ATTQOTD: 1) Be more consistent with my running and don't quit and re-start several times a year. I've got a dog now, so I hope the fact that I have to "go out" anyway will help with that. 2) Run 1,000 miles 3) Finish my first non-Dopey marathon in October 4) Do some strength training at least...

    Marathon Weekend 2022

    I am hoping for Dopey 2022! I'm from Germany, so even if the races take place as normal (more or less), there's still a huge question mark with regard to being able to travel or not. I really do hope that things will settle down a bit during 2021 so that by 2022 we'll be back to something...

    2019 Disneyland Paris Marathon Weekend

    I haven't received an e-mail yet, but I am able to access my profile and could complete the registration if I had my medical certificate yet. Unfortunately, my doctor won't sign an English/French form, so I actually have to get an appointment with another doctor. Even though that isn't too...

    Disneyland Paris Half Marathon Weekend 2018

    I totally agree. And they could have replaced the not-that-much-of-a-villain Hercules with Kronk. Even if he hadn‘t been able to talk because of the mask - Hercules didn‘t say more than „We must have the same tailor!“ and „Keep warm!“ every couple of minutes so that wouldn‘t have made much of a...

    Disneyland Paris Half Marathon Weekend 2018

    Weird. I was on the right side, and some guy in front of mr asked for water, and they told him that there wasn‘t any left. Although I wouldn‘t be too surprised if they just meant to say that there was no water at this table...

    Disneyland Paris Half Marathon Weekend 2018

    I didn‘t see Black Widow, but can add Gamora, Loki and Black Panther (that line was absolutely insane!) to the list. When I made it to the finish line at 9:20, they had run out of water, therre was just aplle and grape juice left, I think. I still prefer the US races and will probably never...

    Disneyland Paris Half Marathon Weekend 2018

    Way too often, especially since one of them said „One last time“ about half an hour ago. :o

    Disneyland Paris Half Marathon Weekend 2018

    I thought I had been sorted into E because I forgot to upload my proof of time - it didn‘t even occur to me to try and get it changed. :worried: Ah well, I‘m just going to concentrate on the positive side: Since we don‘t have to be in our corrals hours in advance, I can stay in bed for an hour...

    Marathon Weekend 2018

    No, not yet. It has been sore to the touch for years (nothing to worry about, according to my doctor), so I have just been hoping the usual treatment of stretching, rolling, icing and resting would help. At least I can now walk for more than a few steps without feeling it, so I guess there is...

    Marathon Weekend 2018

    Most of my Disney stuff is race-related (medals, magnets, rundisney Mickey)... I do have a pretty big collection of mugs, though (my current favorite is Alice in Wonderland). :) I am signed up for Dopey, for the 4th time. I was going to do a half marathon at the beginning of September, to...

    Disneyland Paris Half 2017

    Sure! I stayed at Hotel Elysée Val d'Europe. It's not the cheapest off-site hotel, but last year I chose it because of the pictures and the location - and since I had no complaints, I booked again for this year. And I agree with hotblooded: The train does run early enough to get you to the...

    Disneyland Paris Half 2017

    I stayed off-site last year, in one of the Disney-recommended hotels (though not booked through Disney). I have already booked my room for this year in the same hotel. The train ride to Disneyland is only a few minutes (4 or 5 maybe?), and if I remember correctly, I only paid 1,90 € per trip. My...

    Disneyland Paris Half 2017

    I have just received an e-mail saying that my medical certificate was rejected because "we need your doctor's stamp on it". That actually is rubbish, there IS a stamp on the form - just no license number. "Last year we found that some runners wrote the license number themselves." So, if you...

    Disneyland Paris Half 2017

    Apparently, the registration link will be sent out "soon" - whatever that means. I have received an email last night with "next steps & practical info". At least the August 1 deadline was moved to August 15, so we'll have two more weeks to upload proof of time and the medical certificate! :)

    Disneyland Paris Half 2017

    I actually managed to get to the "pay" site. I have received a confirmation mail for the payment, no waiting (i.e. hoping for) the mail confirming the registration. I will NEVER complain about the "normal" Rundisney registration process again. Ever. :badpc:

    Marathon Weekend 2017!

    Isn't there a "design your own t-shirt"-place in Disney Springs? Maybe you can get them to add that to their selection - I would absolutely buy one!

    Marathon Weekend 2017!

    I'm doing Dopey and to be honest I haven't decided yet if i'm disappointed or not... On the one hand: Turn off the alarm clock (BIG plus!). On the other hand: Getting a medal for "nothing" feels weird somehow... Don't get me wrong - safety definitely comes first, and I'd rather have them cancel...
