Hadn't seen this around the forums:

The Inaugural Expedition Everest Challenge

There's a new Endurance Race this year in Sept--5K race, obstacle course, and scavenger hunt. Last years Tower of Terror 13K was really fun, I bet this will be great too.

Myself, I cannot miss too many school days, so I'll run the second annual ToT 13K and unfortunately have to miss this new option.

I think I missed something.... someone fill me in

It's a type of mini marathon at DAK themed around EE.

 

[TowerOfTerror]

I wonder why it is so much money ?
It's only $65 for the 13k on the tower of terror. :shrug:

The reason why it is so much is because they are making you pay for the theme park ticket included with the package.

I'd definitely do this one, but I don't see the point if they make you pay for admission when you already have an AP... :shrug:

Or a front gate pass for us CMs? Maybe there will be a discount when registration opens in February. In any case, did anyone notice the size of a team? Is it 2 or can there be more? Not much of a team discount if it is only 2. But after the 'fun' I had in the half-marathon (no, really, it was a lot of fun!) I look forward to this!

Yeah, I already have an AP too and it seems like I'm throwing my money away buying another ticket. :shrug:

And who said the 13k was fun? Haha I'm not trying to be blunt but that run was horrible.

There's also an after hours party as well, so maybe that's part of the reson for the elevated expense. :shrug:

We could totally do that, it's the second day of our trip. But like most we already have park-hoppers. If the team fee covers more than 2 people and there are some walkers we wouldn't mind teaming up with someone.

The Tower 13K run had an afterparty too, but was 65 bucks.

FYI, I have heard from a couple of sources that Disney has done away with the 6.5K option for the 2008 ToT race. Easier and more money withy just the 13K?
