Marathon Weekend 2025

[Mr_Incr3dible]

We're skipping MW this year and did Wine and Dine instead. I missed the energy from MW, where it seems like everyone there is either running, spectating, or has run in the past.

Skipping MW? That would be like...



;-)
W&D is during football season. I'd really like to do it, but not sure if it'll be in the next few years....

They really seem committed to mustard Dopey this year.

 

[Herding_Cats]

Ugh. I feel like the shirt base colors do nothing to compliment the designs on them.

This what Weather Channel is showing right now for Bay Lake, FL (WDW). Friday’s low is the wee hours of Sat morning. Thursdays’ low is the wee hours of Fri (10K). Sat’s low is the wee hours of Sun morning. So while I wouldn’t call this “warm,” it’s looking like the warmest morning of the bunch. For now.

ETA: here are the details

Ah yeah that explains it. Thanks

Are you sure you're looking at the right low? The low listed under Thursday's forecast will be the low for the 10k. The low being shown as Friday is for Friday night into Saturday, thus the half start. AccuWeather has pretty consistently had the morning of the half showing as the warmest of the weekend over the past few days.

Look idk I’ve never once heard before now that the low is not for the day it’s forecasted of. Thats just counterintuitive to everything I know.

I love the marathon red, the 10K and goofy blues are ok, do we really need more teal and grey shirts? and why is Dopey that awful shade of yellow?!?!

 

[StarGirl11]

Really hoping Brooks coming on will put an end to the poor color coordination. Because this is the second time rDs made something where the colors exist in a way that makes it hard to read the shirt

Mears is giving out free bib boards to runners

 

[Barca33Runner]

That Dopey shirt is an abomination.

The rest are very bland with the same colors, different theme. Please, please Brooks recognize that pastels and neons exist.

ETA: Also, figure out getting the park icons back on the sleeve.

I love the red marathon shirt!

UPDATE: thank you so much to those who warned me off of soggy thermal tights and to @accm for the tip - I found cheap, disposable rain paints that will be here Thursday! They’re unisex, so will almost certainly be too big, but I can cut the bottoms down and figure something out to cinch the waist. IDK if I’ll tolerate them for 13.1 miles, but at least it’s something if I’m desperate. And maybe, just maybe, this was the purchase required to drive off the rain entirely.

Fingers crossed for a dry race, but at least you have a backup now!

Skipping MW? That would be like...

Right? I'll be making things right in 2026 and returning for MW

A few complaints already about the mustardish yellow Dopey, but the color contrast on the Goofy shirt doesn’t seem like the right choice? Otherwise looks good IMO, we’ll see if they end up fitting me properly.

 

[StarGirl11]

Also tbc I’m not complaining about it necessarily be warm. I’ll take warm and rainy over cold and rainy. Because one of those does not play to race strengths and it ain’t the warm one

Like not the biggest fan of 60 but at least it’s not for the full

That what I was saying as well. The color contrast is so bad that you’re not going to be able to to read it from a distance.

What time to you expect to reach that low temperature? I've always heard it as the "overnight low" and since it's written after the high, I think of it as coming later. I guess I think of 2 am as Wednesday night and not Thursday morning. No doubt it's confusing, which is why I keep checking the hourly forecast.

After seeing the shirts, I find myself.... not minding so much that I'm missing this year in terms of the shirts.
The Goofy challenge shirt, in particular, looks hard to read, and the shirt colors just seem... off. Of course, one only has a second to look with the spastic camera work they have on Instagram. Maybe they look better in person, but hard to get too excited based on what I just saw.

I think it’s my suspected ASD rearing its head right now. Because we have a tendency to take things very literally at times. So my brain sees a low for a certain day it just thinks it’s somewhere within the 24 hours as the lowest temp. Not apparently anytime in the evening.

To our northern friends. Played Fantasia mini golf this morning at 43 degrees. And had a great time. We were fine in long sleeve shirts and joggers. We overpacked for sure.

That makes me happy to hear. I didn’t bring anything heavier than a spirit jersey, though I do have long sleeve tshirts to layer under them if need be

I'm so jealous of all of you getting there today!

I attempted to do a final 4 mile tempo run this morning but with a feels like of 11 and winds of 23 mph I had to cut it short at 2 miles and couldn't get to my tempo pace. Hoping tomorrow is less windy for the last shakeout run.

Not thrilled that I'll be getting blue and gray shirts again. I think I have like 6 blue shirts at this point. I really need to think about getting a quilt made so I can pare down my collection.

Update on my son- he basically just didn't want to be at school yesterday, which I get it, but dude I'm already taking two days off this week! Little scammer.

This northern friend is currently cold in a thermal shirt, tech long sleeve, sweatshirt, fleece, puffy vest, and puffy jacket

And I’ll be running in a tank and shorts… I wish it made sense
