Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend

[Greenlawler]

My PR marathon was at the 2015 Dopey lol.....Have not even gotten close to that time since.

Anyone hear anything about the marathon today? I read some information saying at 12:30 today there is/was a Zoom meeting with all Disney Charity partners. Disney typically informs charity partners before they officially announce anything. Is a cancellation emminent?

According to the subreddit this is accurate. I would expect a virtual shift very soon.

If it is virtual...I’m interested to see what the medal and shirt designs/themes are.

The Marathon Weekend, according to RunDisney has been converted to a virtual event. Sad news indeed.

oooofffffffffff. I'm glad I missed registration for this. #Dopey2022

You are correct. Sad, Disappointing and not a good start to the new year.

Ugh this is horrible.

Money back I guess

...I am kinda happy it went virtual.

Now I get to participate they also changed the prices so I am definitely partaking.

I was also thinking about adding on a 5k. I don’t have an indoor running space, so could be kind of tricky in the winter (in MA) but doable. Longer than 5k is probably not safe.

 

[Rose&Crown]

I could be wrong but seems like the pricing that’s opening up is cheaper?

Yep...more options they got smart. This is a good deal actually. Much more inline with the virtual 5K.

Alright, so do I cancel my trip for marathon weekend or what? Thoughts?

 

[Surferboy567]

Can we all just take a moment to appeciate that Oswald medal. That is a work of art.

 

[DznyGrlSD]

I'm in for the Oswald 10k. I love the different tier options for the races... $35 for a tech shirt is laughable though.

Where are pics of the medals?

If these new prices are lower are they going to credit us the diff or we have to cancel and rebook?

What a sad day. I’m so disappointed.

I wouldn't. I have signed-up for the Star Wars Half in April of 2021. My GF and I have already decided, even if it goes virtual we are
still going on vacation.

The website just imploded. I will share those pics when it comes back.
