New Disney Race in Sat Oct 27(Night Run) & Minnie Rumor

[ultramickeymouse]

I just received confirmation from EMMI that there will be a new 13K race on Sat Oct 27 at 9 PM. Yes, that is 9 o'clock at night They won't give any more details but rumor is it will start at MGM.

Also, EMMI wouldn't confirm the other rumor that the Minnie in 08 will be a 1/2 marathon. He stated nothing is finalized.

9 o'clock! That's almost my bedtime.

Wow - interesting!! I would so love to do a 9 pm race on Oct 29 at WDW. :

As for Minnie 2008 - I read on another thread it was scheduled for May 2 - 4. I'm wondering if that will still be the plan. Trying to get as much as I can from an AP that I'll start at this year's Minnie!

A halloween race. Cool.

No WAY! That is my daughters b-day and we have been toying with going to WDW for a short trip that weekend. DD has off of school Thursday and Friday. I wonder how long it will take to finalize the rumor?

 

[ultramickeymouse]

The race will be happening. EMMI confirmed it but I am checking on the date as that is a Monday night. I think they meant the 27th

 

[solotraveler]

Hmmm... this would almost be too cool to pass up....

 

[ultramickeymouse]

Just imagine what kind of costumes the runners might wear

 

[Big Vic]

It really does sound cool.

We'll be there.

OMG! And if it is the 27th...that's my birthday!
I must do this!!! And get to go to MNSSHP again?

If it's the 27th, we'll be there. We were looking for something cool to do for our 10th anniversary. Maybe my mom would watch the girls for the weekend

OOOH, I like the Minnie to be a 1/2 marathon, I always thought 15K was an odd distance, might as well bring Minnie up to big leagues!

OMG! And if it is the 27th...that's my birthday!

Mine too!! We will already be in WDW, so maybe I could do this. But at night? I don't know.

 

[lenshanem]

Sounds cool! DH will be out of town for work then or else I know he'd be all over that!

 

[Kristi1357]

Oh my gosh - if you are going to be there - DO IT!!!!
What could be cooler than doing the Tower Of Terror 13k on your birthday???
Wait...OUR birthday!

Just received confirmation from EMMI that the date is Sat 10/27

So have a Happy B-Day Run

 

[gatorphipps]

THAT IS TOO COOL! I will be there that week with my family! We are arriving Friday night!

 

[aladdinsgirl]

Awww, man!!!! Stephen and I usually go to WDW in October for our anniversary (it's 10/21). We decided to do our big vacation in May this year and we are not going in October! The night time race sounds awesome though!!!!

 

[disnutt]

I think the night run sounds like fun. The best part of the marathon for me is starting in the dark and seeing the lights in Epcot. It would be fun running a race totally in the dark.

Robert,

Any idea on when an official announcement might be made??

I don't know if I could pass up a quick weekend trip for this first annual night race, MNNSHP and Food and Wine.....
