    It mentions that she will be speaking at the expo on Friday. Does anyone know if there is a schedule of who is speaking and when? I could not find anything in the official guide.

    Marathon Weekend 2016

    Regarding throw-away clothes. Is it only allowed at the start or could I shed a sweatshirt mile 1, and chuck it on the side of the road?

    Marathon Weekend 2016

    Thanks for the responses. I ran the marathon in 2014 but did not really do any research on fueling and nutrition. I just sort of "winged it". I was vaguely aware of something called "carb loading" so we ate at Cafe D'Antonio (Italian restaurant in Celebration) the night before. Now that my...

    OFFICIAL 2014 WDW Marathon Countdown: WE DID IT! Congrats everyone!

    My Garmin showed 26.56 from start to finish. I must have followed the same path. This was my first marathon and I really enjoyed it. The best part, by far, were the large crowds of people in the parks, at the TTC, along the Boardwalk, Beach & Yacht Club, and everywhere else people...

    No, I have never done this event before. This may be the first one at the DCU Center but I not 100% sure. I originally thought it was run around the concourse, where the concessions would be (if that makes sense?). But after looking at the floorplan map, it looks like it may just be a large...

    If anyone following this thread is in or near Massachusetts, there is an indoor event at the DCU Center in Worcester on December 28th. It is called Arena Attack. I signed up for the half marathon since I am scheduled to run 12 miles that day anyway. Flat and indoors beats running in the cold...

    Your guests charging on Magic Bands

    Forgot to mention that we had no issues. Everything was charged to the proper cards. :thumbsup2 I gave them my email address (or they already had it) so I received an email with a PDF of all my charges on checkout day. The other couple did not provide an email so they received a paper copy...

    Your guests charging on Magic Bands

    We just did this at AKV a few weeks ago. We had another couple staying with us in a 2BR. Credit cards were assigned to our MagicBands during check in. First they took my credit card, linked my MagicBand and had me assign a PIN. Then they linked my wife's MagicBand to the credit card...

    I actually just started a Whole30 challenge 12 days ago. I am not allowed to eat any of the the typical running fuel due to the in ingredients not being Whole30 compliant. I did some research on endurance training during a Whole30 and ended up buying one of those baby food pouches containing...

    I usually use the Honey Stinger Chews (Cherry Blossom & Orange Blossom). I can also use the Cliff shot bloks, but I love the taste of the Honey Stingers.

    What do they provide at the food stations? Is it just Gu? Do they have bananas?

    OFFICIAL 2014 WDW Marathon Countdown: WE DID IT! Congrats everyone!

    Thanks for the info. I ran 11 miles on Saturday and the one application was enough...no chafing. After hearing this, I am thinking that I will definitely bring a small stick of it with me for the marathon. Better to over apply if anything. I have never used it on my feet before but I have...
