I know it's not a RunDisney event, but it's so close to "home", I've decided to make it one big trip! Is anyone else doing the Space Coast marathon/half marathon and are you going to Disney after?

Good to know about the expo, and I didn't know about the beach towel! Awesome!I've done it three times before (Space Coast + Disney) and plan on doing it again this year.
The three previous times I ran it, the Space Coast was six weeks before Disney which fit perfectly into my training plan. This year, there's seven weeks between them so I'm going to need to adjust my plan.
I love the Space Coast marathon....I really hate the expo they have (too crowded for the size of the venue) but the race is really fun and laid back, the medals are awesome, and you get a beach towel too!

It's probably going to be a solo trip for me. I like to go about halfway through December normally, but I figured since I was driving all the way down there I might as well combine the two occasions. I hope I can walk at the parks the next day!!I'm signed up for the south side half course, and currently have DVC reservations for a few days after at Disney. Whether I end up going to Disney depends on if it ends up being a solo trip or not
That'll be awesome!!I'm doing Space Coast and will be at Disney beforehand. We're driving over to have Thanksgiving dinner at Victoria & Albert's.
I’m doing space coast. Want to get those new Big Bang medals.
Fir me will be part of dopey training. I’m doing the Atlanta thanksgiving marathon Thursday then Spacr coast full on Sunday. 7 weeks out from dopey that will fit in nicely.

Two marathons in 4 days?!?! That's hardcore!
Nice! I'm in Atlanta but not doing the half, haha. Space Coast will be my first full. Maybe in the future I'll use it to do my own Dopey! I also really want the new series of medals so good timing for me to do my first when they start the new series. Any tips for keeping my legs fresh between the drive from Atlanta to Florida before the race, and then from Cocoa Beach to Orlando for a week in the parks?

I'm looking at the half on the off-chance I'm in Florida for Thanksgiving (holidays are gonna be ... well, a crapshoot this year I'm guessing).
Can anyone recommend the North vs. the South half course?
