Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon

[surfsupdon]

I will be on the Treasure crossing so I will NOT be working Wine/Dine this year. See you at Marathon weekend?

Yes! I’m running the Full.

I really went all in this year with races…marathon will end the season for me.

My friend Justin "retired" from runDisney and is now working on the team with me

So the info guide and maps were released today.
This is a course that I really like. I enjoyed it last year- I remember a lot of downhill on that road past Coronado to Blizzard. I expected to go uphill but it never happened. Am I remembering incorrectly?

I actually hate this course lol.

That portion by Coronado does have some uphill. Nothing terrible but it's usually in the sun for most runners which isn't great.

I’m on my way down! The entertainment on stage looked so fun today, and Muppets aren’t my thing.

 

[Swissmiss]

Muppets aren’t my thing

(I suppose I forgive you because you are nonetheless a nice person )

Finished my first 1/2 marathon this weekend and first time doing 2 races, also did 5k. Little back pain issue slowed down my pace to 17:14 but I was able to keep in front of the balloon ladies. Have a few months to work up to the challenge for Princess weekend.

Great job!

I ran my WineDineHalf sub 2 hours with 1 bathroom stop, 1 photo stop, and 2 medical stops- thankful for Vaseline on course

Was not my fastest or my slowest. Just mid. I also really like this course. Lots of downhill on the roads out by Coronado and Blizzard. At start, Carissa wished me a very Merry Christmas, and at finish I got the full Mariah Carey treatment. Love my runDisney family!!!!!

Everything race related was super smooth, easy, efficient, etc. Lots of positives.

Just saw that they moved next year's wine and dine 1/2 weekend to the weekend of October 23rd. Anyone have thoughts as to why they moved it so much earlier? Princess weekend was moved as well!
