Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend

[uncle jimmy]

That would be about a month notice for registration and they have held it in July once before.

Not sure if you noticed, Princess dates would be over President's weekend... they usually are held the weekend after.

Those could definitely be the dates, it could also be placeholder dates. Whatever the case, they are probably going to have to announce it fairly soon.

Maybe a Monday announcement if these dates are the actual dates? Leading to this months notice.

Isn't that how they did the summer series, the hinted on Sunday something big was coming and then announced it Monday?

Yes, but in that case registration was held within a couple of days. This is obviously a different beast all together.

Absolutely, so they'll announce sometime this weekend that a race announcement with dates for reg. is coming this coming week.

That was a lot to catch up on and now I’m pretty excited. Nice way to start the weekend.

Made an SSR reservation. Just in case. Not much left for DVC.

I've run Disney Marathons when it was 27 degrees at the start and also 83 degrees (at 4:00 am going up to 92 by the time you finish). Also living in the Northeast, I personally look forward to going to Florida in January in the hopes it IS much warmer and more humid. The least enjoyable marathon years for me were the colder ones. It's a matter of preference.

I totally agree. I personally, was not ready for the shift from 20s in Massachusetts to 80s in Florida for a longer race.

Which weekend though? I know the weekend they have used in the past, but it would suck to have reservations for the second
weekend of January and then find out the races are on the third.

Booked 1/5 - 1/12. The following weekend is also filling up. If I chose wrong I'll just cancel and book an All-Star.

Y’all got me nervous so I just booked rack rate at Pop just in case Marathon Weekend is a go! I’ll be Dopey if it is in person.

Statistically speaking 6 out of 7 dwarves are not Happy.

they need to make an announcement this week so people can PROPERLY TRAIN. I'm DUN with runDisney right now. Otherwise I'm running the Celebration half.

They just posted another dumb inspirational message.

They just posted another dumb inspirational message.

Dream Big, train hard

What the heck is this bs? Couldn't they just add - "dates coming soon!"
I'm over this social media baiting inspiration - is it inspiration when they aren't giving people something to train for other than their words.

 

[OG Runner]

You would really wish they would understand the average Disney runners reaction to these message.
It is not making most people happy.

I worked up my Hal Higdon Dopey plan and it starts next week. The actual plan starts on 13 miles but I add the build up to 13.
