I'm 80% sure they don't offer such a service, or at least aren't for the first time this year('06). Reasoning: - Expos are about retail and sponsorships. Its a symbiosis between those putting on the race and the sponsors providing funds etc. As a result they expect as much exposure to...

They were neither, i think most reading this thread can discern where the "unfortunate tangents or baseless negativity" was coming from and i don't know why you're so concerned that i meant you. But i choose to stay above such nonsense and not feed those trolls. I have been on the board. I've...

Thanks for your support Main St. and Disney Couple, despite the unfortunate tangents and baseless negativity. Something else which is blatently relevant to such a new forum but escaped me last night is GOLF. I mean cmon, what percentage of WDW property is taken up by all the courses?

These things tend to change depending on the year. But something that tends to be the norm in most large marys is a table for whatever endurance drink and a table for water. Gatorade has been pushing their new Endurance on marathon directors and many have used it instead of "regular"...

Most people don't rent vacation homes in the WDW area, however there's a forum for that. Most people haven't been to DLP or the Asian parks, however there are forums for those. Get over yourself. If you won't be visiting the forum, fine. But i don't know what you feel you're accomplishing by...

Hello all, Some of you will remember me from posting on a far more frequent basis about a year ago. In the interim, i've come on and done a search on specific topics that interest me now and then, namely the Marathon weekend held each January. I've been on a running specific board for quite...

Thanks Steve. What i've typically done over the past year or so is just do a search for "marathon" on all the forums and just responded if i could add anything. What this request stems from is a recent marathon thread created by someone in the past couple of days, that's in the WDW general...

With all do respect, this is how you utilize such boards and since you don't run this site, save the "not every board can cover everything" rants. I'm requesting this of those running this site, not the peanut gallery who won't be using it anyways. I'm not one to mention other forums on...

I think this board needs a forum devoted to threads with re to the Endurance Series at WDW. There's an inline marathon, a 10k Race for the Taste during the Food & Wine Festival, as well as the hugely popular Marathon Weekend every January. Its a shame that the largest Disney board doesn't...

Yeah it tends to be perfect marathon temps, in the Fifties most years. If you're sitting there saying "perfect!? 50's cold!!!" you have to consider that your body heats up 10-15 degrees warmer than current temps. This is why you see us training on roads in singlets and shorts in cooler weather...

I'll guarantee you that your imagination of what the backstages look like far outweigh the reality. So either stick to those or set your expectations lower. :animwink: 13.1 miles is a very manageable distance for anyone who is determined to run it. If you can build up a base of 30 miles per...

Quite a bit of that is simply marketing. But it is a good first mary in the respect that its large. This year the cutoff for both the full and half are 13,000 runners. There's always a fair amount that no-show though. There's a stigma in the running community that its one that dissapoints...

It is very flat. The only inclines are the overpasses which you've most likely driven on. What is your background? Is this a one-time thing you're training for or do you run marys regularly? Tell us more about your running background and what you're looking to do in this marathon, ie just...

Disney provides bus shuttles for the runners staying on property. So for runners on their own, really anywhere that fits into your budget/likes is fine. As far as spectators though, they don't provide shuttle service to anywhere along the routes. Just think of it like any other marathon. if...

Yeah, the families/friends of those running are typically the only supporters along the route. But as others have already said, the parks are dead that week following New Years, hence why Disney created the marathon and placed it on this weekend; to keep occupancy bearable. The year's i've...
