[Princess KP]

I had a really great time eating, drinking, oh and some running, this past weekend so I'm most likely going.

I really hope they'll have a Christmas party the same weekend!

should be in for 10k again barring any unforeseen circumstances

I really want to do the challenge but it all depends on when our exchange student leaves.

I’m a maybe for now.

It's the week after NYC marathon, so you can do both.

That would mean I didn’t get into Chicago and that I got into NYC....

Not trying to give you an idea, but I have a friend who did Chicago and NYC this year. And MCM.

I know someone who did Chicago, MC50K, and all 3 Wine and Dine races.

This years numbers compared to the others



I wish we had 5K numbers because I think those went up quite a bit. It felt more crowded for that race.

Running Lushes in the house for W&D 2020! I'll be there celebrating a milestone birthday with other from our racing team! First time for WDW Races -- though I have done the 2007 Disneyland 1/2.

Who's going?

As long as I can make it work with school (those dates could possible be right when the Quarter ends which could be a little tricky), I'm definitely back next year! I'm thinking about going for the challenge next time around

 

[RunDopey]

We are doing all of the RunDisney races next year (except the DLP May 8k thingy), so we will be doing all three races to cap off the year.

My wife and I did our first Disney race at the inaugural W&D half in 2010; we’re considering returning for the 10th anniversary (although I realize it’ll be the 11th running). We might do the 10K instead of the half tho; we’ll see how we feel in March when registration opens. We’ve never been to a MVMCP and we’d like to go and stick around for the first one of those — hopefully the week following the races.

 

[PrincessMickey]

Seeing all the texts in our text group had me super jealous I wasn’t there this year so I’m seriously thinking about it. We’ll see if I get into Chicago first and then make a decision.

Do we add the challenge count to the number of runners in the 10 and half?

That’s included.

New member, first post ... but I have been following/reading for a while, excited to post! I'm planning to run the 1/2 -- it will be my fourth 1/2, assuming I get into the NYC Half on 3/15/2020 or sign up for something similar in Spring 2020. Never done a Disney race but, I love the Parks, and this seems like the perfect first race. I'll be traveling with my husband and 5-year-old son, and am looking at the kid's races as well. Looking forward to the next year of training and getting to know others!

Next trips: March 2020: Gran Destino Tower; November 2020: Yacht Club, Wine and Dine 1/2 Marathon
Previous trips: March 2017: Wilderness Lodge; April 2018: Animal Kingdom Lodge

Since this will be my first WDW race (though not first time at WDW), I'm looking for all the tips/tricks! I'm probably signing up for all 3 races and will look to spend time in the parks after the race. I'm a huge Disney fan and go to DL quite often (park warrior).
1. Recommendations (or threads I can read) for Best place to stay for easy transportation to/from race(s) start. I've stayed previously at Pop and Port Orleans. I am not sure a high end will be in my budget but if there is one that is a no brainer (ie. I can sleep later before start if I stay there), I will look at stretching.
2. I'm probably going to do all 3 races 5k, 10k and 1/2. How hard is it to go to the parks after the 10k and then get up for the 1/2? I'm thinking after the 5k wouldn't be too much of an issue.
3. What is the spatula thing I keep seeing in pics?
4. What are your other best tips for making the most out of these races?

1. All disney resorts are host resorts. I’ve stayed at Pop, Riverside, Caribbean Beach, Bay Lake Tower, and Beach Club for race weekends.
2. it’s not that hard depending on what you want to do. This year we did the Halloween party one night which leads to a late night and little sleep.
3. the only spatula I know of is the one given to perfect half marathoners.
4. you’ll learn a lot from these board over the next year. Just enjoy these races. I never do runDisney for time.
