Planning to Walk F&W Half Marathon...

[MerriH807]

Has anyone ever done this? I have read the event details and know about the time I need to maintain. I figure the worst that happens is that I get Picked up for not keeping pace..... (Embarassing, but...)

Anyone out there ever walked? Anyone ever get "picked up."

Lots and lots of people walk it! People do get swept at Disney events though, the 16 mpm pace time requirement begins from when the last person crosses the start line so unless you start at the very end you have a little bit of a cushion.

Just like the previous poster said, Disney races - no matter which one are absolutely walk friendly. Just make sure you keep up your pace during your training and you will finish.

Thanks for clarifying! Let the training begin!!

I "only" walk the Disney races (halfs, fulls, and Goofy) as well as all of my other races. You just need to keep the course pace requirements in mind and train accordingly.

I've never done f&w, but based off of other disney races I would even venture to say there are probably more walk/runners and walkers than true runners. My age grade results usually come in between 50-55% so I would say I'm a true middle-of-the-pack runner...but in Disney, I'm always in the first or second corral. You will definitely NOT be alone...disney races are so walker friendly.
