2026 Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend

Do it!
“Worst” case you can take the 10k as a walk in the park

I'm wrestling with the same thing! I'm really only in LOVE with the 5K theme so I think I can manage to avoid the other races.


I only did the 5K/10K/Half to Dumbo, so I'm obviously fully capable of restraining myself.

Agree....I'm loving the Aristocats theme but if we ran this weekend again, we'd do the Half. So I'm thinking I'll just run the half as Marie!!!

 

[The Expert]

- I'm planning on doing Goofy again in 27 and don't want to risk injury
- I don't know what my recovery will be like post Chicago (FWIW - I was perfectly fine after NYC but I'm aiming to take 30-45 minutes out of my PR in Chicago)

Same boat here. I'm not doing Goofy, but definitely don't want to risk injury before MW. I'm also going for a big PR in Chicago and have no idea what recovery will look like.

I'm coming for the W&D 5K for sure, so the thought of "I may as well stay through the weekend, right?" keeps running through my brain and tempting me to the challenge as well. IF it happens, I'll most definitely be taking it super easy. Even at a fairly easy pace, with my corral placement and pace I'm not really at risk of being swept. The timing post-Chicago actually aligns with traditional advice on when your first run should be post-marathon, so if I treat it like that, I think it should be okay.

That was the same thought I had - starting in B I can go VERY slow. That 3:34 we ran the half in this year should be fine 2 weeks later. I'm really not worried about the half - just consecutive days. But I guess I could practically walk the 10k as @DianaMB333 suggested

I'm feeling pretty confident I can just register for the challenge - I have a tendency to overthink these things

(Of course all bets are off if I can't get through registration!)
