Did anyone else hear about the 75 "perfect marathoners" getting free WDW Marathon registrations for the rest of their lives?!

Buses run from 3-5AM from the resorts. EDIT: But as a participant you need to be on the bus by 3:30AM. There's a lengthy walk from the staging area to the corrals so you want to leave time for that. Personally I prefer to bring my own food for the morning, don't want to depend on the resort in case something isn't available.

For the half, is it on the busses by 3:30AM or 4AM? I thought the website says on the bus by 4AM. And what time do you need to be in the corals by? We are planning to run out of one of the last corals. So does it matter if you enter them late but before they are released?

4 months of training and the cold weather, winds and crowds catch up with me now, of all times. I seem to have developed a chest cold and got almost no sleep tonight with the coughing. We'll see how the 10k goes today, but Dopey feels like he's slowly slipping away from me. So disappointed right now.

The signs in the BC lobby say “by 3:30 AM”.

No I didn’t that’s pretty awesome if true. They had a big party for them last night with an amazing looking cake.

I'm in black zip up with red scarf and khakis.

I'm just curious how much the running outfits that look like chesire, goofy etc are if it is not too much hassle. They look super cute!

The Mickey tank was 45 I believe.

[courtneybeth]

We are waiting for our full bus to head over - bus can take all the time it wants

[camaker]

I’m here waiting!

I saw you out there with the Porg sign! Was just too ready to be done to stop and say hello. Hope you got to see a bunch of folks!

Fun race this morning. Big thanks to @Dis_Yoda for the beer. It hit the spot and ended up being my fastest mile. Lots of people on the bus back to Beach Club talking about how great it was to grab a beer this morning.

Looking forward to the meetup this afternoon.

I’m so sorry...hope you are able to get some sleep today. Feel better soon.

Wow, the winds while waiting for characters were killer today! I stopped for Snow White’s old hag, Flynn & Rapunzel, and Duffy but could never warm up after.

A photographer told me it is supposed to be 18 degrees tomorrow morning? I am giving up on my costume for the half and will reassess for the full on Sunday.

Hope everyone had a good race!

Sorry to any of the runners that ran by Boardwalk past 7:08AM! @Keels got my last pour!

It was great seeing many of you. Now onto Animal Kingdom!

 

[roxymama]

Fun seeing the folks I'm tracking hitting the finish line virtually. Great job everyone!!!!!!

Photographer is a damn liar!

Looking ahead to next year, that is. I wouldn’t want anyone to get the idea that I want them to pick me up a hoodie.

But if you did want one, I would definitely have no problem helping you out!

It’s too cold. Can’t process
