Dopey challenge 2016

[Paisa184]

Hello !!! I'm new to running and decided that I should do the dopey !!! My fiancé and I signed up on the 28 right at 12 and it was already sold out 4 hours later !!! That's crazy !! I'm not much of a runner and have only done a 5k during the tower of terror weekend and a few local 10k races I read that marathon weekend is a whole different animal and we are super exited to be taking part !! I'll be using the rundisney trainjng guide , any advise tips or tricks would be appreciated !!

You're new to running but signed up for the Dopey Challenge? You do realize that it's 4 races (5k, 10k, 1/2 marathon, and full marathon) in one weekend, correct?

yes I know , thats why i signed up for a half in the fall and have been training since March , my fiance runs halfs and has helped me with getting started

JMHO, but I think you'll need a lot more experience than that to complete the Dopey. Good luck anyway.
