Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend

[Figment82]

Don't forget the kids race......

Oh, yes! I’ll have to clean up quickly afterwards and get us over to WWoS in time. Still a little annoyed they have the kids races on the same morning...

I forgot. Who is running and what distance?

I am Marathoning

I am also Marathoning!

Digitally supporting all of you! That's a hard job to do aswell, right @Swissmiss ?

I miss when they used to have those 3 days in a row. Much easier to go over that way.

Yes it is - but then again I’ll be getting a medal in September for my birthday

I know, right? And last time I checked, they were sold out, so the demand is definitely there...

Well the course is what it is. I hate the loop back, whatever it is doing in blizzard beach and then the two seconds we spend in DHS.

Oh, joy, the 2 mile hike to the starting corrals, ala Princess Half.

Well, you could come run DLP; we don’t have a 2 mile hike to the starting corrals.

Maybe 2021.

Question for y'all: I want to watch a friend run the marathon down Main Street. I don't need to see them start or finish the race. What is the best way for me to get from Coronado to Magic Kingdom around 6 a.m.?

I assume Disney busses won't be running that early (MK doesn't open until 9). Will I run into road-closure problems if I try to take an Uber to the Contemporary?

 

[surfsupdon]

I think I like the course. Of course I would prefer more time in MGM, and my opinion could easily change and I hate the course after mile 16 hahaha

So they’re not using Woodpecker Lane and reversing the finish line set up this time? Nice! I was afraid that had become the new normal. Hopefully that means the spectator area is a bit bigger.

 

[Swissmiss]

Maybe 2021.

Always teasing and getting our hopes up

The infamous off-camber overpass at mile 22 that drops you off by the studios is gone. I'm not sure if I'll miss it.

The map of the MK is a little confusing. The big map shows the route going in the front of the castle. The "exploded" view shows it going in the back.

We have hotels next to the corrals

there's a lot of overlapping course for the full. I foresee a lot of people course-cutting. Since I've never run a full I won't comment on the overall course but I'm kinda glad I'm holding off 'til #Dopey2021 now
