Marathon Weekend 2020

[PaDisneyCouple]

We’re both wearing grey race shirts. DW is greyhound 5k and I’m dark side 2018.
See you soon!

I have a cold now so I will avoid everybody tomorrow. I’ll still run but trying to keep my germs to myself. Good luck everybody!

The expo is out of Minnie ears. I’m very disappointed. That was the one thing I wanted.

I think they had some this morning at the merchandise truck.

Maybe they’ll still have them. I’ll check tomorrow. Thank you!

I had the BBQ at the back where you get shirts. $10 for two sliders, a side (I had Mac n cheese) and drink and thought it was good. There is food at the restaurant too.

OMG THAT SMELL! Was that bacon or something? I wasn't even hungry until I walked past that stand. I didn't bite though.

True group effort by the runDisney all-stars. John and I ran it, but not without advice, math and alcohol from our colleagues.

do you get the run one less mile tomorrow or Sunday now? Mile is a mile after all

Popping in to say I ACTUALLY MADE IT TO A DIS MEETUP!!! It was nice to finally meet some of you in person this morning! If time permits, I’ll try again tomorrow. I’m very short, blonde, and will be channeling Goofy in an orange shirt, blue skirt, green visor.

Heat starts picking up tomorrow - be safe out there!

We did! We arrived at the security line at 645. Tapped into the park at 655. Had boarding group and ran out the gate at 702. Worked like a charm!

Thanks to everyone who came to HHHH today! It was great to connect and reconnect with so many fun people from this board.

 

[DIS-OH]

i enjoyed the HH meet up very much! Great time chatting with lots of folks! Sorry I didn’t get around to say at least “hi” to all! that were in attendance!

 

[FawnJD]

What a fun time! So happy to meet some of you and hope to meet more over the next few days!

successfully detoured off the 10K course, ran a mile to DHS, scored a ROTR boarding group, ran back and finished the race. If you want to see what two giddy grown men look like, well...look no further.

So Disney! Cutting the course/cheating? Bathroom stop? Fixing a wardrobe malfunction? Nope, have to secure a boarding pass for a new ride so I added a few extra miles to my “race”. LOVE IT!!!!!

Thanks to @FFigawi @lhermiston @rteetz for organizing all these meetups. It was such a great chance to meet so many of you all! Thank you!

I am staying at Pop Century this weekend. This page (https://guide.rundisney.events/transportation/) lists buses as running from resorts to Epcot from 3-5 a.m. tomorrow. I have some family members that would like to see me finish the half marathon tomorrow. Obviously, I will be getting on a bus in the 3 o'clock hour. Do buses actually run until close to 5 a.m. that they might be able to take to Epcot? I don't want to tell them to get out there and wait for a bus that won't be coming.

The expo was completely sold out of the various Half Marathon pins by the time I got there at 1:30 PM, which hasn’t happened to me any other time I’ve run this race. On our way back to the hotel, I remembered seeing marathon weekend returns on a rack at Everything Pop in years past, so I asked a manager if anyone had returned HM pins yet. He checked the back, and there had already been tons of returns, so I was able to buy a purple slider one that I hadn’t even known existed. Really proud of myself for that one.

Good luck to everyone running the half marathon tomorrow and stay safe in the heat!

Yes there should be a bus close to 5am. There should also be buses heading to the finish line starting up again around 6:30-7:00am. In my experience if the buses restart running again around 7 and you finish before 7:20am it will be cutting it very close for them to view you.

Sorry to miss the meet ups today but my stepfather came over and did the 10K, then we did some park time with the family. I'm solo for the full, so I plan to find you all on Sunday!

Good luck to everyone tomorrow. I'll be closely watching reports and am grateful for the day off.

Great tip! I’m staying at POP also so will have to check if there are any more pins floating around here. I was at the expo about 11am and also noted all the Half pins were gone, as well as lots of smaller sizes for half marathon clothing. I was able to score an XS in one shirt by asking a CM to check in the back so I was also proud of myself on that.
