Marathon Weekend 2019

[pixarmom]

@mateojr swam in 46 degree weather in Arizona last week, so the WDW pool weather is looking fantastic for him! Also, on the costume front, he got plush Stitch paws for Christmas. Not sure if he will wear them for the run, but definitely more likely if temps are lower.

Favorite sign ever: Run like 1,000 animatronic Trumps are chasing you (with a pic from HOP). I actually hard stopped and gave her a hug.

Best freebie handout: Lady handing out tissues outside of HS (sinuses!!)

Honorable mention: Trex handing out free hugs outside of Epcot

Boo at weather change. Was hoping to get some sun at the pool.

No Pluto for the 5k. Boo!!!

 

[Rundugrun]

I’d like some ideas from all you creative veterans... I’m running in a black sleeveless compression shirt with black shorts (unless temps really drop). Any thoughts on how I could turn that into a costume suitable for the marathon?

Get a Peter Pan hat and spray it black and you’re Peter Pan’s shadow.

Or a black visor with a black feather.

Definitely some surprises if this is accurate. Atta and Flick have traditionally been 10k right around where I think the rescue rangers chip and dale are this year.

Vanellope and Ralph are usually either half or full only can’t remember which.

Snow White Witch is back from last year. Heads up if your stopping for her she had one of the longest lines last year. I think it took about 15 minutes and I started from D? I barely got my photo in time since balloons were quickly approaching. So basically if you want that one do not stop beforehand. I probably will skip it in favor of Chip and Dale since I can’t remember the last time I saw them in rescue rangers outfits. And I got her last year.

Also Pooh and Tigger are gone so a lot of changes.

 

[Simba's Girl]

Anyone get a heads up on any of the Balloon Ladies' bibs yet?

 

[cburnett11]

Will the certified marathon map be posted prior to the race, or does it sometimes just not get put on the USATF website? I keep looking but no luck. Maybe someone with serious skills can find it somewhere... hint.

I want to say it was put up like right during the weekend or after on USATF last year. I don’t remember.

Parking lot lines typically pretty long? I wouldn’t mind a pic with Oswald.

I’m sure he will be pretty popular. Either arrive at the race early or wait after the race. They can get up to an hour long waits at times.

Depends on when you get there and for the character. Oswald since he’s the theme for the 5k will get long but if you get there early the line should still be short.
