Anyone at SSR doing the marathon?

[rigsby25]

My daughter is so nervous about getting on the bus, etc. Is there any one else who is staying at SSR and running in the marathon on the 9th? Are you taking the bus? Do you know what you're doing, etc? This is my daughters first marathon.

She may have to walk to the Carriage House to get the bus. They don't usually go through the resort and pick up. These are charter buses, not Disney buses and the drivers are not that familiar with the resorts. Make sure she gets the bus early enough. It may be 3:30AM or so.

We'll be at OKW.

The buses will start running at 3:00am. All runners must be on buses no later than 4:00am. There will be other runners getting on these buses. After your daughter completes her race, the buses will bring her back to SSR. I'll be staying at OKW for the weekend. I'm running my 1st Goofy Challenge. Good luck to your daughter. She can look at the Disney race website for more information for the weekend.

My husband and his friend are both running their second Goofy. We're also at OKW.

We stay at OKW so it is an easy walk (10 minutes) over to the start

That is why I picked OKW this year. This will be my first time at OKW after staying at BLT last year. Does security try and stop you from walking to the start line?

I have driven my husband and a few others we picked up to the stop light at Disney Vacation Club Way and Bonnet Creek Parkway and they walk from there. A few years ago he went and I did not, and he walked with no problem.

I've walked over for the last 6 years and the only thing security said was "Good morning"

I ran the Goofy in 2009 and stayed at SSR. I was assigned to one of the buildings in the Springs section. The race buses picked up the runners near the Springs bus stop. There is a pull-in for the bus on the opposite side of the street.
Request the Springs, I literally walked down the stairwell and onto the bus.
