Any Runners make solo trips for Disney world Marathons???

[key2ursoul]

I will be taking my first solo running trip next February for the Princess race, and definitely share a lot of Wendy's concerns. I'm both excited and nervous. I'll be there from the 21st- 24th, so let me know if anyone else is doing the race and wants to meet up. Also, a few of you guys mentioned running meet ups online...any specific ones I could look up? Thanks so much!

I'll be going down for the first two races of the Dopey Challenge and staying solo then my wife will join me for the weekend portion (Half and Full) to cheer me on. I'm looking forward to walking around by myself for a day or two.

Not quite up to marathon level, but signed up for my first 5k race and why not make it a Disney one. Jungle jingle during f&w. also doing it solo

I've done solo trips before and they certainly have advantages. However, it is nice having someone meeting you at the finish line! I'm signed up for the Tot 10, Wine &Dine and then the full in Jan. As of now all trips are solo but I'd be interested in meeting up with fellow Dis runners during any of those trips.

I went down solo for the Wine/Dine half in 2011. I vacationed alone but ran the race w/ my baby bro who lives in Tampa. IT WAS AWESOME.

I came out in September 2012 from Australia Solo to run the TOT 10 Miler... It was amazing and I met heaps of people... I got into a singles group on Facebook though only 2 of us ran we all met up on a few occasions...
You'll love it and do not be scared of standing in line alone... The first week I was there I was completely solo most the time & still had a ball. There's just so much to look at and appreciate in WDW... Plus if your not scared to say hi... Then try striking up a conversation u may meet some interesting people & hear some cool stories.

None of my local running friends will go and run at Disney with me. I plan all my trips as solo but I always have running friends from all over the country and sometimes world that will join me so they don't ever end up as solo events for me. There is always people who like to meet-up at the parks for the races!

I didn't know this board existed so I already posted on other boards. But I'm happy to see that I'm not the only solo traveler to a runDisney event. This is going to be my first ever running of anything. I've never run an event in my life so I'm going to take it easy and do the 5k in October 5. I can actually walk it, but I'll try to do better than just walk it. Will anyone be doing the 5k this October?
