A question about the Minnie Marathon.

[drakester]

My friend and I are considering participating in the Minnie Marathon next year. I was wondering if you have to run it or if we could walk it. I'm not sure if we could run the whole thing but I know we could walk it with no problems. We walk 4 to 6 miles everyday whats 3 more?

Well, you could, but this is supposed to be the last year for the Minnie 15K weekend. Next year, who knows, but there are rumors of a Princess themed 1/2 marathon around this time.

Generally speaking, there is no reason you can't walk just about any Disney race. Many, many people on the W.I.S.H. threads are walkers and walk/joggers. The Disney pacing tends to be more generous than in other races, which is wonderful for encouraging participation from many different racing levels.

Thanks for your reply.

I think all of the races at WDW are timed events. You have to average around a 4 mile per hour rate to stay in the races or you will be asked to stop. There are many people who can walk and complete the race in that time frame.

I had also heard they weren't doing the Minnie next year.

Definatley post (or move) this in the WISH threads. Walkers are definately welcome but usually there is a 16 min mile cut off for Disney races.
