Oh no, I missed registering for the WDW 1/2!!

Oh no, the 1/2 marathon closed and I missed it! (Duh, my own fault.) I can't believe it closed so FAST!

I was thinking I could run for a charity and raise money, thereby gaining entry into the event for 2008 and also doing good things for others.

Does anyone have any recommendations for charities that are connecting with the WDW 1/2 marathon and offering entries? I have heard of "Team in Training," and I saw on the WDW marathon site there is a list of charities, but upon clicking on each I found very limited info about the WDW 2008 events. I'd love to know if anyone has personal experience with a particular charity group for the WDW 1/2 or full marathon!

I am more than happy to raise money for a cause, I just have never done it before and not sure what to do. Any thoughts are appreciated!

I did the Disneyland half marathon last year with the AT Children's Project. Such a wonderful organization! I believe they also have the lowest required amount of fund raising as well (although you do not get accomodations as with other causes).

I know Angie also has worked with ATCP and loves them too.

You can also sign up for a runner's package through Anthony Travel or Marathon Tours and Travel. You need to book a 3 day room package, but you can still get a 1/2 marathon registration through them.

It's fate Sunshine. You were really destined to do the full in 2008. You can't argue with fate so get signed up and get training.

Aaaah, yikes! I suppose I COULD do the full marathon (I can't believe I just said that)... the thought flashed through my mind but then my knees issued an immediate veto. I'm slightly considering it still, though! Aaaah.

Thanks all, I appreciate the info regarding options for the half, too! I am interested in the ATCP, I will research that one further.

I know the feeling! It's amazing that as big a physical obstacle a marathon is, it is a bigger mental obstacle. Good luck with your decision!

Yes you could! It is a wonderful 7 hour stroll!
