Is there a Tower of Terror 13K this year?

[Mary•Poppins]

I was googling running events at Disney and happened upon the Tower of Terror 13k ... however, I don't see it listed for this year? Does anyone know if they are doing it?

Thanks a bunch!

Nope.

They are doing a race (a 1/2) Oct. 1st or 2nd that is combining the ToT race and the Race For Taste and it is at night.

I'm hoping to run it next year, maybe.

What do you mean by 1/2 ... is it a 1/2 marathon? (That would be too much for me )

I am bummed that they aren't doing one between early Oct and Jan ....

Yes, it a 1/2 marathon.

I'm betting you could do a 1/2 marathon. When I did mine, the farthest I went in training for it was 8 miles. When I kept saying I didn't know about being able to do 13.1 miles, DH kept saying, if you can do 8, you can do 9, if you can do 9, you can do 11 etc. That's how I got there...

The Wine & Dine half marathon replaced both the Tower of Terror 13K and the Race for the Taste 10K. There is also a 2-person relay option for the half. Runner 1 will do 4.8 miles while runner 2 will do 8.3. Lastly, there is a family fun run that isn't really a race but is an organized run through the Magic Kingdom. All the events have more information here.

Thank you everyone for all the information. I have just started running and am enjoying it ... however, a 1/2 marathon may be too overwhelming right now. Thinking of talking my husband into sharing the 1/2 in October ... hmmmm .... This would be great incentive to get into shape.

You may want to head over to the Wine & Dine thread on the WISH or Podcast boards. If you want to find a partner you might be able to get in contact with someone else in the same predicament as you, needing a partner.

Also keep in mind that you can run part of the race and walk part if you want to do the whole distance but don't feel as though running it is an option. There are a lot of people who do some sort of run/jog/walk combination for races of all distances.

Whatever you choose good luck.
