October 5 Susan G Komen central Florida Race for the Cure 5K

October 10-11 Walt Disney World Cross Country Classic

October 12 Race for the Taste

October 25 Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 13K & 6.5K

Man, I really wish they would reconsider hosting the DL 1/2 Marathon on any other weekend except Labor Day. It's just so crowded (more so than usual) at the parks and the rates are higher at the local hotels.

But, you know, I'll be there anyways!

Fab! Thanks! Guess we'll be doing ToT next year!

Thanks for the dates. I've been waiting to hear on Muddy Buddy. We will be there, along with several other races.

I HAVE NEVER raced before, but I am very motivated since I ahve heard about these Disney races. I am trying to get some friends together to go to Minnie Marathon weekend. Can anyone tell me some info about this weekend so I can try to gather soem frirnds who are NOT disney nuts.

What is the route of the race? I saw a picture but I am not really able to make out the exact location.

How many people qualify as a team?

Thanks for posting. I am going to be down for the Minnie weekend so I think I will give that a shot. The ToT race was fun but I don't know yet if I want to make a special trip just for that.

I also want to do the 1/2 in Jan of 09.

Visit my page on the 07 Minnie at http://www.disneyrunning.com/minniemarathon07.html . Click on the link of my photos(123) that will give you a feel of the course. It is the last 9.1 miles of the marathon course. It goes from AK(parking lot) towards WWoS where it turns around and goes through MGM along the canal by the Boardwalk area(actually by the Beach Club) into EPCOT, around World Showcase and out the front part of the part to finish in the parking lot of EPCOT.

The Minnie was my first race ever! I did the 5K with my friend and the 15K. I really had a blast. Last year, it was 2 person teams. I was a sister/sister team with my friend. The other option was mother/daughter.

The Minnie just opened reg for 08 so it will be a long time(if ever) that it will fill. 08 will be the last year

Robert, wanna team up and do the Muddy Buddy? Since there won't be a Minnie maybe we can team and Erica and Linda can team. Be something new and fun.

This race never fills? Is that the reason why they are ending it this year? Is there anything taking its place?

I don't want to play in the mud with you

Rent Stripes and I would like to be John Candy if I was going to play in the mud

Yes, that is a reason. We hear that a "Princess" 1/2 marathon will replace it. No date yet! Disney will wait until the week of the race to annouce that

Is this just a run for woman? or can anyone do it?

Like the Minnie anyone can run the race. Disney call the men that they are running for a women in their lives(ie mother, wife, etc). They want everyones money.
