I wonder if they'll have this event in 2009.

I think this is a yearly staple event during Food & Wine.

Yup, Kecia mentioned the Race for the Taste when she was talking about the series. It is a 10K (6.2 miles) scheduled for October 11, 2009. You get a cool little medal that is shaped like a chef's hat and has a knife, fork, and spoon dangling from it.

Before you know it they'll be adding the Tink Drink, so all your DATW people will have an event too!

They should have it again this year. I'm waiting for registration to open, since we planned our Oct trip around it.

I arrive that day - If I could run 6.2 miles I would have done that so I will just have to enjoy Food and Wine and skip the running

Maybe we can start it up, as sort of a "grassroots" sort of thing...and Disney will pick up the mantle as soon as they see how popular it is!

If we can add a Cake Walk tie-in, it will fill up with just posters on this board.

I think I'd like that race if they have food stations every half mile.

They give you chocolate in the full marathon.

Ssssshhhhhh... don't tell Teresa.

They also give bananas and various other foods, but not many people will run 10k for a banana.

If you really want to be fed when you run, sign up for an ultra. On a marathon, you're lucky to find a mini-size candy bar, or a hard candy, or the like. On an ultra, you can see chips, oreos, M&Ms, pretzels, and so on.

(Of course, the downside is that they expect you to actually do the entire 30+ miles, but hey, free oreos, right?)

I'm still waiting for the "Drinking around the world 5k" Of course, the problem being that there might be people who end up in the fountains or the like... Okay, probably not such a good idea... However, it's a great after-race activity!
