guess the date for 2010 disney marathon please

[PRINCESS VIJA]

DH just said that if I am serious he will train with me to do the 1/2 marathon! I am looking at 2010. January 1st is a Friday night, do you think they would do the marathon the following weekend... January 8-10 or the weekend after that January 15-17th?

 

[CynthiaCindy]

I would bet on the 8-10th because Jan. 18th will be MLK day in 2010.

 

[cewait]

That is the date unless the mouse changes his pattern of having the event in the lull between New Years and MLK.

January 9-11, 2009
January 8-10, 2010
January 7-9, 2011
January 6-8, 2012
January 11-13, 2013

 

[Honeibee]

How about 2009????

 

[wtpclc]

2009 is out. I believe it's the 10th & 11th.

I agree that 2010 shoudl be the 8th.

 

[Honeibee]

No, Carrie, I meant why doesn't she plan on doing the 2009 race? She has time, don't you think?

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

Thanks for the info everyone! I love to plan in advance and dream build a bit!

No, Carrie, I meant why doesn't she plan on doing the 2009 race? She has time, don't you think?

Thanks for the vote of confidence but, oh dear, let me say I would love to!!!!! However 1 big reason I can't... financial DH is planning a surprise trip for my 40th birthday which is at the end of the year, and we don't have the money for both. Now if I were to win the lottery.... !!!!

I also wasn't sure if I would have enough time to loose all the weight I need to, I need to loose WELL over 100 pounds, and the 1/2 marathon is something that I am using as a motivator and incentive to get going and keep going. Sort of as a reward for getting to goal. So, I am making the commitment to do the 1/2 in 2010! I will be following you guys as you train for 2009, and hoping to learn some training tidbits!

Hi,

Stop over to the weekly walker/runner thread here. You will find a very large friendly group of folks who are all just waiting to be helpful to you as you train for the first event. It is always such fun to help a new person along. Like reliving that magical time. That thread is where we do exactly what it is you are asking to have. See you there!

I'm shooting for the 20th anniversary of the marathon, which is in 2013.

 

[IMGONNABE40!]

Just found this thread when I googled 2010 Marathon. I am looking to do the half in 2010 as well. I have never done a marathon before. Hopefully I will be doing a half marathon here in Cincinnati in May of next year. I am doing the 10K tomorrow to get my feet wet.

I will check out the training thread!

The January 2009 1/2 marathon has been closed (full) for quite some time now. Last I checked, there's only room left in the full marathon. I'm thinking about the 1/2 in January of 2009 too.

The January 2009 1/2 marathon has been closed (full) for quite some time now.

There are travel companies that others have used in the past through which you can still register for the half marathon in 2009. IIRC, they require you to book three nights hotel (they have several options at WDW) with the registration and their prices are pretty good for the hotel. They charge the same price as Disney for the race registration (no mark up).

There are also several charities that have spots if you want to try to raise funds and run for a cause.

I want to run in the 2010 Marathon

Does anyone know when we can Register ?

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Registration won't open until sometime after the event weekend in January and will remain open until all spots are filled. Full marahon still has openings for 2009 so it's hard to predict how long it will remain open for 2010.

 

[ultramickeymouse]

They open registration the Monday after the race. 08 Marathon filled on 8/23(15th Ann) and 09 will fill soon. They increased the numbers this year(to 20,000). You have plenty of time to reg before it closes.

 

[VernRDH]

The half is on 1/9/10, the full 1/10/10. Registration will open for 2010 on 1/12/09. This is from a reliable source at Disney Sports and other who have run before.

Vija- I too am training for the 2010 half. We have a group going for the race and then we are all taking a cruise the next day!

Good for you for taking on this challenge! I'll see you at the start line!!

 

[momof2minnies]

I believe I saw you could register Jan14,2009 for 2010.

 

[dsnyfan21]

Usually registration opens up about a month or so after the last one, so check back after the 2009 Marathon weekend.
