Anne...

Thanks for doing this .

BTW...I'm staying at Coronado Springs. But I do SOOO love OKW .

So sorry, Amy! Got the Scotts mixed up!! Hopefully, it's corrected now!

I am officially official. Signed up my mom and I as a team for the 15K. Still have to register for the 5K but I think I've given Disney enough money for now...

Well we are staying at ASMu. There weren't any AAA discounts for a std room, but there was for a preferred room. So we went with the preferred room because even though it is 10/night more, with the discount it actually ended up being $14 less (over 2 nights) than rack rate for std room.

We are at AKV the week before and will be checking in at Music for the weekend.

I'll be at the Minnie again with my lovely Minnie Girls and hoping to see many more WISHers there!

I'll be doing the 15K and staying at OKW.

Can't wait for the fun to begin!!

I'm in and doing the 15K!! This will be my longest race - I've only ever done a 5K up to now.

We are staying at Saratoga Springs. I'd love to do the 5 K as well, but I don't want to take away from park time with the little ones any more than I really *have* to. (there isn't a special medal for doing both, is there? because if there was something then I just might change my mind...)

HI everyone,



I'm getting confused here as I've read most of the threads. DH and I and my 4 kids are thinking about WDW and participating with the 15 K MInnie. I thought it was for WOMEN only?? BUt I've seen some men's names listed. I asked this cuz I've never ran a 15K but my marathon runner husband has.

I'd really much rather prefer having my DH running the 15K and I'll run the 5K with my kids.

Please clarify.

From my understanding, it is a women's event, but men register under with a women's name and do the event. Apparently even the event shirts are women sizes.

Although it is targeted to women, men are perfectly welcome to run the race. They just cannot win medals or prizes. I'm hoping my DH will sign up for it. He loves to run 15Ks.

The men do get medals, just no trophies. The shirts are made fro women, though, and I think the Minnie medal discourages tehm a bit. HOwever, men can enter. We won't tell dh if you don't want us to, though.

Just wanted to jump in regarding the whole guys running this thing isssue....

While the race is mainly for women, they do allow men. I think most of the men running are there to run with and support their female counterpart...I don't know of anyone registering under a female's name...

I'm doing it because my running buddy is and we love racing together, it's supporting a good cause and heck...allows us another weekend in Disney! Not doing it for the time or the medals...just the experience of another race with my favorite person :

SeeDisney, So, to summarize..Minnie is a women's event. Only women can win the top prizes in overall and age groups. The goodie bag and the expo are geared towards women. Men can register for the event in their name, particpate, and receive a finisher's medal...the cute Minnie with a bow .

Next year, the rumor is that this will become a princess themed women's ONLY 1/2 marathon. In that event, men will NOT be allowed to participate.

I am curious about the people doing the 5K and the 15K. I did both last year, as the courses were different. But this year, the 5K is just the last part of the 15K. So, is it to get the 5K medal, if you didn't previously? Just wondering.. Anne

 

[SeeDisney]

Thank you everyone for clearing this up for me.

I need to talk to my husband about this tonight. Now, I guess I'll have him run the 15K.

We'll post later on about our commitments.

 

[Valentine]

I will reiterate.....


I WANNA GO... I WANNA GO.... I WANNA GO



Have fun for me

My husband is also doing the Minnie. I thought about signing him up with a woman's name as a joke, but since he is registered on Active.com and they fill in all your info, I just registered under his real name. He can keep his medal, but I'm taking the goodie bag.

 

[Maherae]

But, of course!! As well as the shirt!!

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

The list is growing! We will have such fun!

Kathy, I WISH you could find a way.

 

[SeeDisney]

OK, on to my next question....


The Healy's kids races I see. I have a 11, 9, 6, 2 year that I'd like them to race too.

Where is the race held at?? I don't see it on the link?

I am doing both because I want to do the 15K and my mommy is doing the 5k and I told her I would do it with her!!!

SeeDisney, when you click on the link to Register, it tells where the event is held. For the one in March, for instance, it is in the WWoS's parking lot. Apparently, that's the only one they have decided on, yet. The Register link for the DL 1/2 doesn't give any info for the Kids' races. HTH!

Angie..awwwwwwww
