Minnie Marathon Weekend 2008

[DreamBeliever]

I have a question regarding event/marathon registrations. Since I'm participating in the Race for the Taste (Oct 7.) is it possible I can register for upcoming events when I pick up my RFTT packet Of course, I'm hoping registration will be open for the Minnie by then

Thanks in advance!

well darn! I for one am a little disappointed........I was really hoping that it would be a new event and maybe even a different weekend. I had such fun this year at Minnie, but I would love to do a different event that is held the same weekend! (Insert BIG sigh here).

Now I have a hard decision to make, my AP expires next May 4th - do I sign up for Minnie 08 and plan on doing the Festival 500 in 2009? But what if Disney schedules a new event for the same weekend in 2009?? Then I would have another hard decision to make!! I think I am leaning towards the Festival 500 half in Indianapolis, but even as I type that I think - - - but I have an AP that could be used again if I go to the Minnie!! (Insert another BIG sigh here)!!

I am so confused

I really was hoping they were pushing this back into April.
I don't know if I can pull it off again this year since we are not supposed to take even one day off during the May book. Ugh!
We'll see....maybe if I fly down Friday after work, and then am "sick" Monday....

Yes he can! Matt and Robert did it last year. My husband is doing it in 2008, although he doesn't know it yet.

Thanks! My husband is a Matt too! He has agreed to the 5K w/ me and I think he would be very willing to help me train and to the Minnie 15K. I just wanted to make sure it was allowed! Yippee! Hopefully I can make it!

Yay! I can't wait to become "officially registered!"

Is this for runners only (Women Run the World 15 K) or walkers, too? Is this really REALLY the last Minnie EVER? Sigh... Note to self: Buy lottery tickets. STAT.

He can definately participate. I did last year and had a blast. Since there aren't that many guys running, it is alot easier to get a high ranking in your age group for a Disney run as well.

My DW ran and I walked with her at the Minnie. All you have to do is maintain a 15 min/mile pace. This is the last Minnie. Last chance!

Hi everyone! I'm new to the W.I.S.H. board, but I am planning on running the Minnie next year (my first WDW race). I am really excited about it! Do most people do both the 5K and the 15K or just the 15K?

 

[ultramickeymouse]

I think there was a good sized group doing both. I really liked the Go Red for Women 5K course. See pics as a play by play on my site of both races.

Very doable and fun to do the double

 

[hoosmi]

I just did the 15k because I didn't want to completely push my family over the edge. I secretly was very jealous of the people who did both.

And I still managed to push my family over the edge by making them admire my medal over and over on the drive back...

Definitely look at Robert's pictures- I like the Minnie medal best, but the Go Red one is pretty cool (I'm all about medals!)

Jen, I fail to see the problem here. Isn't that what everybody does???
