Marathon Weekend 2025

[nancipants]

Anyone going to the meetup before the race tomorrow, would you mind picking me up at birthday button? I totally forgot yesterday when I was on property.

@GuinnessRunner i am at the boardwalk. I have a garmin 935. You can borrow my charger. I am not sure if the same but I think it is.

How'd your 10K go?

For the marathon tomorrow, how long are people planning on hanging around the DIS meet up before going to the corrals? I would love to meet some of you (it would be great to talk to some humans before running 26.2 mi) but don't know if I want to arrive super early

How'd your 10K go?

We started in coral E so it was crowded but helpful because my knee was very stiff from the cold. Took 2 miles to warm up and clear some of the crowds. My knee was a bit sore by the time I went to bed but I had over 30k steps. My plan is half marathon next year. I think it should be doable.

Ummm…my bib isn’t tracking

Me either!

I guess this isn’t a good sign…

 

[Novatrix]

Was very tempted to stop right away for Cruella, she looked like she was having a blast

She was the exact over the top, campy energy I aspire to in the morning.

They’re grabbing people at the finish who are impacted, told me to wear *both* bibs tomorrow.

Mental note: rain prep was good except shoes - needed some booties or something. Started with wet socks, but wasn’t as terrible as I thought it would be. Thank goodness I gear checked some oofos.

I don’t like road camber. At all.

Electrical Water Pageant - amazing.

Seemed like some pretty dark portions along Floridian Way and MK - stepped in a few puddles. I will be glad when that road construction is done!

PR, so I hope my chip worked!

Rain and wind was pretty rough in the corrals but all in all a fun race!

Congrats all!

 

[GADisneyDad14]

Well fudge, mine says “Waiting to Start” as well.

Curses!

Curious to hear everyone’s thoughts on the new course!

I hope your knee improves for a Half next year.

For people having tracking “waiting to start” issues would be really helpful to know if you were in the affected range shared or not. Debating going to expo today to check mine even though I’m not in it for marathon (I’d no tracking for 10k boo)

It was interesting. I think I prefer the lead up to MK from the old course but this was fine, can’t really complain. Bridge wasn’t an issue for me but talking to some guys who were in E and they said they were basically walking. Was pretty tight in that area overall.

21xxx, didn’t ask what the full range was. Did not get an email and wasn’t in the range they were trying to fix on Thursday.

 

[Disneyhanna]

Yeah 21xxx bib that was pulled by trackshack, wear both bibs tomorrow. Wonder if they will accept a GPX file to show in official results. If not, not a huge deal as I ran for fun and did almost every photo

They said there will be no email and they’re just trying to grab all of the affected finishers

 

[kristenabelle]

Well that was a fun surprise at the finish

 

[DL1WDW2]

It was raining really hard and windy..Noise woke me up about 4:30 a.m.
Gloomy all day,
I wondered if there would be delays , etc.


Good Luck be careful stay safe

Well that was a fun surprise at the finish

Is it a secret?
Got pictures from Magicband?

Apparently the new MB has game at AK to play Bounty Hunter Game like Indiana Jones ,
Would love to know game for MK, Epcot, HS too.

And if you go to Disney Springs Wave it when you walk past the Disney Cruise Treasure on Holiday Tree Trail
Disney Treasure is only cruise ship that plays 4 different melodies including When You Wish Upon aStar
It’s near Disney Guest Services and Disney Ticketing Center.

Also the newest DVC Lounge is nearby just under the Anthropologie Store
They Open at 10:00 but Upstairs with RR room tour and beverage is Noon and might have to sign up …Very Popular.
I think signage is called Gateway to Discovery.
This location is only Store that has door to go out on a balcony.
Have you ever wished you could go upstairs when you are walking around?
The last tour to sign up for entry would be 5:00 so perfect to see lights and big DS Tree nearby ! It’s a self guided visit with option to meet w/ guide , so no pressure …
Keep that secret!Haha

Also get keepsake I’m Celebrating….2025 button.

And I am starting to collect The paper format Disney Map Guides that you think you don’t need since USO does not have any!
Discontinued too bad if you don’t have cellphone!
