2005 WDW 1/2 & Full Marathon registration starts 1/12/04!

[welovedis]

I also posted this info on the WishWalkers thread, but in case someone here has not seen this--the registration for both the full & 1/2 marathon begins almost 2 months early than usual. The registration starts 1/12/04-the day after the 2004 marathon!

Normally registration starts in early March, but they have moved things up this year. Remember than the registration for the half filled up in a matter of days, even though it re-opened for a short time later, so if you are thinking of doing the 1/2 you may want to get your reg in quick.

Here is the link to the 1/2 marathon page:

Good luck! I'll be running this year's 1/2 and can't wait to be at WDW in about a week!!!!

Thanks for the update. I still hope to do this.

Good luck to you. Can't wait to hear your story

Good Luck Karen!

I finished the Thanksgiving half-marathon in Atlanta this year.
I didn't have a partner but I'm sure you will have other W.I.S.H.ers out there with you to help you keep up the pace.

When you're finished you are going to be so proud of yourself for setting that goal and acheiving it.

YOU CAN DO IT!





Also, thanks for the update on 2005, I would love to do it just have to figure out how?

WARNING WARNING WARNING!!! If youplan to walk or run the half - DO NOT WAIT to register -- last year it closed in 3 count 'em 3 days!!! get online on the 12th and get your name in there!!!

 

[ohMom]

does anyone know what time registration will open on Jan 12? should I stay up until midnight and register then or will it open more like 6 a.m.?

I thought I read on mouseplanet.com that the 1/2 marathon filled in 6 days? Either way - don't sit on it like doc says!!!

C'mon WISHers ---- we can do this!!

When we find out what time registration begins, I'll be on-line at that time. I don't want to miss out. I am ready for this challenge and will feel a great accomplishment once we have done this.

I also plan on doing this as well...can we have someone post on the WISH board, the day before Registration, because I just know I am going to forget to sign up!!

 

[ADisneyMom]

I set a reminder message on my cell phone for 11:58p.m. on January 11, 2004; marathon. If registration starts exactly on the 12th I should be ready.

Now I need a reminder to keep my cell phone close by so I'll hear the alarm at that time of night:

Good luck to everyone that will be participating. I originally wanted to do the 1/2 marathon in 2005 but my work situation and the fact that DH and I would like to start adding to our family in the next year will prevent me from going this next year.

However, I look forward to hearing about everyone else's progress and success!

I am in!!! I just registered.
Now, what did I just do???
My emotions are running all over the place for me right now. I just jumped! What a rush.

 

[ohMom]

YIPPPPEEEE!!!!!!!


I'm so glad I popped on the boards to see if anyone knew what time the registration open!! Thank you TigerLily for the heads up!!

I'm registered!! I'm in, I'm in, I'm in

 

[ADisneyMom]

Hi,
I can't believe it I'm in.

I was checking for reminders when I saw you guys were already registered. I was running to get my wallet and credit card before it was too late.

I am too excited.

Now time to get to work: train train train


Thanks for posting!

The 1/2 marathon registration closed in 3 days last year. Does anyone know when the full marathon registration closed?

 

[DianeL]

Does the 5K fill up just as fast? anyone know when they closed registration for the 5K for the 2004 run?

I was hoping to have till june to decide which to run.

Oh and one more question.... do you get a medal for running the 5K? As our first run it would be even better getting a medal :-D We saw the runners with the Mickey medal and we were all inspired LOL But it will be the icing on the cake to get healthy, go down a few sizes and be able to finish a run ... the medal will just be icing :-D

thanks!!!!
