Thanks! I was just thinking since I was so close... ;) I may just stay at BLT again.

At least you got that. I just got a whole bunch of surveys about our stay that weekend. LOL!

For the 2017 WDW Marathon, I stayed at Bay Lake Tower and while the transportation was quite convenient to get to Epcot, I'm thinking about changing it up for the 2018 WDW Marathon. If I book at the Beach Club (and since it's close to the start/finish at Epcot), am I able to walk in through...

Not sure why it was the Grumpy Challenge. Disney made good with the medals and giving the Dopey Challengers the option to participate in the full marathon, defer registration to next year, or get their money back on a gift card. Those who were complaining felt like it wasn't a real "Dopey...

Not sure if anyone has seen this yet, but..... I'm ready to take another swing at the marathon and completing the damn thing. Going to work on leg strength this year, a faster half marathon time to get me into the faster corrals, and try to keep a clear head so that nothing impedes performance...

Oh yes! And they were hurting that's for sure! I was talking to one lady who was in that situation. She ran the whole thing thinking, "How bad could it be?" Poor lady was limping around Epcot - I think her family got her a wheelchair because she couldn't walk at all. The thing is - after...

I wound up getting injured anyways - when I got out into the AK parking lot, my left calf cramped up on me to the point where I was hobbling to the medic tent. So, talk about getting injured on AK property? I manage to do it on a flat parking lot surface.... Welcome to my life......Ugh!

Yes, there were half-marathoners who ran the full and just stopped at the 13.1 mile mark and called it done. The 13.1 mile mark was near Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom. One thing I would like to add about running inside the Animal Kingdom - with the pavement and terrain being what it is...

That's a nice touch! Hats off to Disney (and the spectators) for adding that additional "magic" to those runners. There were a scarce few at Bay Lake Tower who cheered from the room balconies to cheer on those that took to the parking lot. I saw a running group come in from the parking lot...

For those who signed up for the Dopey Challenge this year and got "robbed" of the Half Marathon, it was nice to see Disney make such options available to the registrants. Though, some friends of mine who decided to go "Dopey" wound up running 13.1 miles around the hotel parking lots, on...

@mergatroid - You really did a number on my face that day. See you at Epcot next year. LOL!

Just found out from a friend of mine that Disney has posted the race registration waivers http://trackshackresults.com/disneysports/waivers/wavr17wdw/verify.php. Click this link, enter your LAST NAME and Date Of Birth. Then, to save time, print them out and bring them with you. Your bib...

I was supposed to do a 20 miler, but I fell sick. So....I'll try it again next week and see what happens. :)

Just want to cross that finish line in one piece.....and then raid Germany for a very tall and a very cold beer! :D

So, my worst nightmare finally happened. This weekend was supposed to be the weekend of my 20 mile long run and what happens? I come down with the flu. The doctor has grounded me from doing anything that could make this worse. The only thing I'm worried about is that when I start up my...

I found some older course maps online, but yeah...if anyone has a course map....that would be great. Thanks! :)

When I completed my first two half marathons - it was a rush. So, I can only imagine that feeling is going to be like when I cross the finish line at Disney. The only reason why I'm actually enjoying the running is because of the weight loss I'm experiencing. When I started working out - I...

I wish I could run a marathon in a touch over three hours. I'm just looking to complete the marathon, hopefully in one piece, and call it a day! LOL!! Yep!! 32 days away!

11/20/16: I finished my 2nd half marathon in Naples, Florida this morning (Naples Fall Classic Half Marathon) in just a touch over 3 hours. I beat my last half marathon time in October by 20 minutes! I'm pleased! The training is working! The Galloway Run/Walk method works for long distance...

So, if I submitted my half marathon time to RunDisney for a faster corral, when will I know what corral I'll be in? Or, is that all figured out when I'm checking in?
