Disney Races

[Shannon84]

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this...I was going with this area because it's all adults and I am planning a solo trip for October. I was just wondering if anyone else was doing the new races in October at WDW? Its the wine and dine half marathon, there is a 5k, etc. I am planning a solo trip that weekend for myself...just wanted to see if others were going then and maybe find some people who have run/will run disney races

I have done a few races there, the (last) ToT13K in October, and the half marathon last month. It was pretty cool, and I am thinking of doing the F&W this Oct and either the half or full in Jan. For more info and to talk running with others, go to the WISH boards, more specifically the competition thread.

I plan to do the Marathon in a couple of years time, got to save for the trip from the UK first though flight are soooo expensive at the mo, but will get there one day.

I signed up for the Halloween 5K. The only problem with that race is that the cost includes a ticket for the 10/3 halloween party. I didn't mind personally, but if you were leaving that day or simply aren't interested in the party, that's kind of a waste of $$.

I was thinking about doing the 5k myself....If I do sign up for it, I am staying past the 3rd to make sure I get use of that ticket You are right though if not its a waste sort of

the halloween 5k sound like good fun and entry into MNSSHP is a bonus as i love that event.

The Disney races are a bit more money than local races, but I have found they are well supported as far as rest stops and such. And the medals are nicer than any other I have gotten. Plus the ticket to a post race party. But as I found at the ToT, drenched in sweat are you really going to be going on rides? Even with a change of clothes that you bring, it is just a bit too much. I walked back to BW, took a shower and went back, but at that point I was a bit out of it, so wound up leaving again.

It was a fun race though, running through the park was pretty cool.

How many different running events do disney have?

Check out the events and competition section of the WISH Forum. Lots of info on Disney races. I am doing my first Disney race in June with at few other moms. We are leaving the hubbys and kiddos to go run the Expedition Everest Challenge and enjoy a weekend at Disney.
