Marathon Weekend 2020

[Barca33Runner]

I started about halfway through C. Beast was a hard no. That was the longest line ive ever seen at a Disney event. It was about 4-5 people wide too. I can’t imagine it was only 25 minutes when I passed.

Tomorrow’s outfit will be Spider-Man and I’ll have a “DIS” sign. See all you 10k maniacs in the morning!

Is it a good, bad, or indifferent idea to overdress a little bit tomorrow for the 10k to use it as some additional last-minute heat training for sat & sun? Paging @DopeyBadger

Depends on how fast relative to your 10k fitness pace you run the race. Because there will be adaptations (pro) but if you run too hard then the recovery from the HAT run might bleed into the effort for the other days. Unless you take the run really easy, then I probably wouldn’t take the risk this close to the other events.

I won’t risk it. Thank you!!

I was only expecting 4 characters for the 5k so I wasn’t disappointed. Wish Beasts line was shorter. Started in mid to back of C. Wow Epcot is gorgeous before sunrise! I enjoyed the course and kinda glad my first taste of Epcot was running through it.

My only (minor) gripe was that I wish they’d waited until after this weekend to stage all the tents and kiosks for the Festival of the Arts. It’s both a little unsightly and it constrains the course.

Unless your doing Dopey there aren’t any race results for the 5. And if your doing Dopey it only shows in the general results at the end of Dopey

so I saw this posted on a Facebook group and it looks accurate. For my time, thr difference between this and what I clocked myself at was 3 seconds.

Yeah, I came close a couple times to clipping a tent.

Not running related, but what time do buses start running to the parks, specifically DHS for a 7am open? We are at the poly. Be at the bus stop by 6?

They should start running at least an hour before if not earlier.

Thoughts from a first timer......
I LOVED IT!!!!!! I’m sad that it’s over but looking forward to next year! We definitely want to do the Castaway Challenge next year since we are DCL addicts. Best of luck to everyone in the other races!
P.S...
Looking forward to that 2021 marathon weekend thread LOL

This is what I found on the Disney site..."45 mins prior to park opening"

 

[steph0808]

I have read conflicting info, so I wasn't sure. We will get out there early. Good luck to everyone doing the 10k tomorrow!

DH and I arrived at MCO at 3:30, had jetway issues and had to change gates in order to deplane, waited on ME, arrived at BC at 5:40, dumped carry-on bags in room, took bus to expo, arrived at expo shortly after 6, picked up bibs and shirts, hit the official merchandise and left expo at 6:45, returned to BC, went to dinner at Epcot and made it back to our room before 9.

We plan to be near the BC entrance to cheer on the 10k runners in the AM! Good luck DIS Runners!

At Saratoga, I was trying to be at the bus stop just before 6 in Wednesday. When I looked at the app, I noticed I had just missed a bus. I think the first one here must have been at 5:30/5:40ish at the first stop. Another bus did come just after 6. I made it into HS, before 7.

Anyone looking for the special 10k stop - I’ll be most likely at one of the tables wearing a long sleeve purple 2016 Star Wars Half hoodie shirt.

If anyone spots a lost looking redhead with a grey hoodie and a shirt saying I find my lack of training disturbing at the 10k stage... it’s just me
