Email from Jon Hughes

I'm sure a lot of will be receiving this same email, but in case you don't, I just received this from Disney Endurance regarding this weekend. Basically he is saying (without saying it directly) to not expect Disney to bring in extra heaters or anything like that. Dress appropriately!

Dear WALT DISNEY WORLD® Marathon Weekend race participants:

Race weekend is almost here! Our team is making final preparations for your arrival, and we wanted to take a moment to provide you some information to help you pack for your trip.

The weather forecast for Marathon weekend is for cooler than normal temperatures across Central Florida. Temperatures at the start of both the Half Marathon on Saturday and Marathon on Sunday are projected to be in the low 30s with highs reaching the low 50s each day. The best approach is to plan to dress in layers so that as you warm up during your race you can remove layers as needed. (All clothing that is discarded on the race course will be donated to charity.) In addition to extra layers of clothing, other items you should consider packing include gloves and hats. Mylar blankets will be available for runners at the finish line on both Saturday and Sunday.

We encourage you to keep checking weather forecasts leading up to the weekend on sources like www.accuweather.com so that you can plan to dress appropriately on race morning. We will provide updates throughout the weekend at Disney’s Health & Fitness Expo as well.

We look forward to hosting you to a fantastic WALT DISNEY WORLD® Marathon experience this weekend. Best wishes to you for a great race!

Jon Hughes
Race Director

I'm sure he was saying that too. Disney is always very careful in their wording of everything.

No matter what name is at the bottom I have a feeling the letter was really written by the legal department.

My thoughts also.....

I think it funny he mentioned Mylar post race. There was a lot of Mylar in 06 and I thought it was from 06... Then my brain was a little frozen
