SIL is running the half at EPCOT this weekend.

My wife would be very interested in running Disney, however I’ve had to limit the number of races she is running in since she just finished running Berlin and Chicago and is entered to run in the Seattle marathon in a few weeks. Three marathons in 90 days just sounds insane to me.

Holy sh*t......that's alot of miles on the good ol legs.

Grats!!! That’s awesome. I hope you iced the legs afterwards hehehe. I know the marathon is the ahieve, but the other medals look awesome too. How about the look of that 5k medal.

I assume the Dopey Challenge is for those like you who ran them all?! Lol

Nice achievement, congrats!

So is that 5k, 10k and two half’s? Dopey run is crazy, this seems to be close to that. I can do a half marathon but couldn’t imagine doing that over 4 days, respect and congrats!

My first 10k, half marathon and full marathon were all at Disney (10k was land, the others were World). When I did my first marathon I did Dopey at the same time. I'm taking a break right now from them because they are so expensive. I plan on going back for Wine and Dine next year, and then Marathon weekend in 2022 (for the 50th anniversary of WDW). This is the first I've seen this thread, otherwise I would have posted earlier.

I ran the Disney marathon back in 2012 and finished 6th overall. For competitive runners, it's a different and kind of strange experience from what they advertise. It was mostly in the dark, very few spectators, and the parks were empty. Just kind of a weird race. I still enjoyed it, though.

Good thread. My wife and I enjoy the Disney Races, I was perfectly Dopey for five years. It just got to be a bit like Groundhog Day with Disney not changing anything up. We gave it a break for a couple years but are planning to race the 2021 Dopey with my nieces. I also enjoyed the California races before they stopped for construction. So true what you say about the difference between the full and the half marathon, it’s night and day.

I haven't decided what I am going to do yet. I probably will do just the marathon (I've done a couple of Ultras, and Dopey is still very hard due to waking up so early so many days in arow).

Those look awesome!!! Grats on finishing!

I’ve got a rack of Rock n’ Roll 1/2 Marathon medals and none of them look as cool as the Disney ones. Guess I know what I have to do now

Is it just Florida?

My wife and I are planning to sign up for the Goofy if we can get in. Reserved a hotel a week ago when we heard that there is a chance this year. We don’t have the pay to get in front of the line pass, so we will have to wait until the 27th. Good luck to those trying to sign up, should be fun.

Don’t think I’ll make any races in the next year but I have done a few of the full marathons at Disney in the past. Once my kids are a little older I would love to go back for some races. My wife said she would like to do the half marathon there.

I was registered for the 2020 Star Wars challenge that got canceled. Was going to run for my 50th birthday—ended up doing it here at home to mark the occasion, sigh.

Anyway, I still want to go back down and run a race but I’m going to let them go through a season before I bother with it. I want to see what changes they make (if any) before I commit the $$ to go. I’m also super bummed that I missed out on running SW, so I’m having trouble feeling motivated to pick a different one.

This is smart. I'm sure Florida is doing better than California, but Disney here in California is clearly having trouble getting back into the swing of things and I'm sure the first events will have some logistic issues to work out.

I used to run a lot of the races in California before they stopped doing them, and ran the WDW marathon once. They're such complex events logistically that I would probably wait until they get past a few before going all the way to Florida for one.

Went on it twice this summer. Next level immersion and fun! Easily my favorite roller coaster in all of Disney World or any other theme park. My 5 year old had the biggest smile on her face the whole time and was running and jumping around after with excitement about how awesome it was!

There is something about it that my body doesn't like. No other ride does it at WDW, not even Mission Space - Orange. But when I ride Galaxy, I get put into a bad place. Rode it last week for the 3rd time, and it was a bit better as I watched the track ahead of me as much as I could.
