Anyone been to Minnie Marathon

[Sophie_2003]

Hello,

I noticed in a poster's siggy the "Minnie marathon" log, looked it up and I am interested. I am a jogger (ran 3 actual 26.2 mile marathons 30 pounds and a child ago ) and I thought it might be fun.

Has anyone been? Do you know if registration closes early...? Since it is in May I would like to wait until Jetblue's tickets are available to see if I can get a decent rate.

oh, I am interested in the 5k run.

tks!

I did the 5K run last May and will be there again in 2008. I am NOT a runner, but enjoyed myself anyway. We ran through Downtown Disney, Saratoga Springs, and the golf course. This was on Saturday. There was also a 15K on Sunday. (i did NOT do that.) Attendance was quite low this year, so I would think you could register pretty late. Rumor has it, however, that 2008 will be the last year for this event. It wil be revamped as a Princess Weekend -- or something like that. Anyway, because I love her, I want a Minnie medal, so I will be doing the longer race in 2008.

For more info, head on over to the WISH board. At the top, you'll see an events/competition sub-forum. Go in and introduce yourself. There are a lot of very nice people there. They have always been quick to answer any questions and were also very welcoming to me this past year at the Minnie.

Good luck.

I found the WISH board by going to the main DISpage (go up to the top of this page where it says DISboards.com up top on the left (with the castle above the DIs and a star fot the dot com) CLICK on it and scroll down until you see W.I.S.H. (I think that it is under JUST FOR FUN..maybe). You'll LOVE it there!

I di the 5K last year (walk...not jog). It was fun!!!! My 4 year old love the kids fun run (100 yard dash)

ALSO...go to www.disneyrunning.com!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope to see you there!
