Goofy 2015

[RnbwSktles]

The statuses only pop up when the races are 50% full, so Goofy is seemingly not 50% full yet.

I guess most people that wanted to go Goofy decided, why not, and went for Dopey instead. ???

I was one of those people
I can't afford to (and don't really want to anyway) make this a yearly trip, so I figured I'd knock out both big ones at the same time. Goofy is the hardest part of Dopey anyway, so why not!

I was originally planning on Goofy-only this year...then they announced the Minnie 10K, and I really need a Minnie medal in my life. So if I'm doing 10K + Goofy, why not throw the 5K in as well?

The hardest part for me is going to be the training (especially in November/December - winter running, boooo) and waking up at 2AM 4 days in a row. But it will be worth it!!!

Ah, yes - that's a viable explanation. Thank you!

I thought seriously about doing the Dopey this year, but I wanted to get a Goofy out of the way first. I'm saving the Dopey for 2018 for the 25th Anniversary of the Marathon and the 5th of the Dopey.

We share the same plan,the full marathon is the one race I'll do every year,aside from that Goofy 2015 and Dopey 2018.

Yep, that's me too! I was worried that I might never get the chance to do it again, so I better do it all!

Ooh! 5th and 25th anniversaries?!! Those are going to be seriously awesome medals! 2018 is going on the running wish list!

 

[ZellyB]

I'm not convinced I will ever do Dopey since the thought of 4 early wake-ups sounds horrible. But, if I do it, I was figuring on the 5 year anniversary as well.

The 5th will be the year after the 25th. 2013 was the 20th and 2014 was the 1st Dopey.

The 5th will be the year after the 25th. 2013 was the 20th and 2014 was the 1st Dopey.

The 21st Marathon was the 1st Dopey...so the 25th marathon will be the 5th Dopey, right? So both will be in 2018.

 

[Dug720]

The 21st Marathon was the 1st Dopey...so the 25th marathon will be the 5th Dopey, right? So both will be in 2018.

I don't know. It makes no sense that there would be 5 years between runnings for one and 4 years of runnings for the other.

I certainly hope they don't discontinue DVC/AP early registration before then. EEK what if it becomes a lottery entry?

They may have to add a fifth race of some sort to WDW Marathon weekend and call it "Grumpy" (after having to get up early five mornings in a row).

Perhaps a race like the Everest Challenge?

I love the idea of adding a 5th race and a third challenge calling it Grumpy.I also like the idea of an obstacle race,but honestly the Everest challenge is just way too soft of an obstacle race,I never ran it or felt the need to run it,it doesn't have to be like a Spartan Race or a Tough Mudder but at least a little more challenging.I'm running the Merrell Down and Dirty next month and that's kind of an average level mud run,nothing too extreme like the others that have you jumping over fire,into freezing water tanks and running through electrified obstacles.You could even have multiple level races throughout the day,kids,beginners and a more extreme one.The one question is where on Disney property can you hold this type of race,WWOS is just too pretty and clean to dig up the grass to put in mud pits.Can you imagine being there from Tuesday through Sunday doing 5 races and three challenges,you would leave with 8 shirts and 8 medals!!!!

Ooh! Thanks for this! Looks like I've got my races planned out till 2030! I'll bring my grandkids along! Lol!

No kidding. That'll be the next marathon weekend for me after 2015.

I really hope they don't do this! It will be too tempting, and I want to try other Disney races!

Yup I was thinking I can probably skip 2016 MW. I might skip 2017, but if the 20th half medal is anywhere close to as neat as the 20th full medal, I'll be there.

The Goofy is now up to 54% and the Full Marathon is up to 70%.
