RFTT 10k and ToT 13k rumor

[ksoehrlein]

Any rumors about which weekend? RftT has worked well for my family because it's the same weekend as the kids' Fall Break from school. A Pirates HM would be so much fun, but it won't be worth the trek down if the dates don't work for us. The Princess HM is a week or two away from our Spring Break (and we live just far enough away that we can't justify back-to-back trips), so I really hope the Pirates HM doesn't fall the same way. I'd love me some pirate bling... or would we have to call it "treasure" instead of bling?

Id definitely be in for a pirate half - but I really, really hope Disney comes up with a new half course.

I'd do it too, as long as it didn't clash with MCM.
I've allready told my DH if this happens he can run in his davy jones costume!!

My Disney source told me that it will be a Pirates of the Caribbean theme Half Marathon on 10/23/10. Mark your calendars

That would be way cool!

 

[WDWFAN9]

That will be so cool!! Are they definitely doing away with RftT and ToT? I don't have a RftT medal yet.....

 

[lenshanem]

Ya, I've got the RFTT medal, but not the TOT. Guess we might have to do TOT this year...

I hope they don't do away with RftT, I too need the medal and besides a great weekend to do with the DH He wants to do it too. He's enjoyed the F&W Festival and the added race would be nice. Bummer I didn't go the weekend of RftT the 2 times we've been there.

And with the changes to ToT I'm still interested in doing it again in the future if reports continue to come out that it's even more fun/themed than the 1st year.

Maybe I just need to move to the area

Looking forward to more info as it comes

Thanks Robert, The MCM is on the 31st next year, so we will be able to do both.

My source mentioned they are moving the Princess back to the "originally" planned course starting at RP track. That's why they haven't put the course map back up.

 

[WDWFAN9]

I really hope they come up with a different course for the pirate half - obviously it should go through Adventureland!!

Pat: I agree! I really hope they find a new course if they are going to keep adding new half marathons! (I would still do it even if it was the old course).

I hope not, trying to get a lean steer around that track is going to be dangerous!!!!!
I'm glad i'm not going to sign up utill I have BQ (might have to go to snickers)as I might not do the race if we do have to go around RP.

Yep, I will do it - I am a sucker for INAUGURALs, but really, it is time for an alternate course.

Well, my bling weakness got the better of me. I've lined up a roomie and registered for the RFTT and ToT based on the rumor mill. I couldn't pass up the opportunity for a once-in-a-lifetime Fall Challenge medal (so they're probably going to have one for the next 40 years! ).

That's a really long drive to make TWICE in a very short time. I hope I REALLY love that medal.

 

[postesf]

I heard this rumor and am sad that I haven't been able to do Rftt or Tot. So... I'm contemplating do Rftt this year although neither DH nor I am employed! Short trip just for the bling! Hopefully DSIL can work out finances to make it a short girls weekend trip!

I'm waiting to hear from her before I sign up... If not, I'll go it alone. A nice weekend alone at the world wouldn't be too bad either!

Stacie

Hey Robert, love your inside information! 10/23/10 is a Saturday, think thats correct? Regardless, I'm in for a Pirate themed 1/2.


I am all signed up for RftT and ToT for the fall endurance medal. Want the extra medal and this might be the only year to get it!!

I wish I lived within driving distance!! The bling is so tempting....

I wish you did too, Pat -- then I could visit you and Jim all the time!

Sounds like we'll have a rockin' WISH meet for the Pirate Half.

That date doesn't work for me and I demand they move it! JK That is too soon after we get back from the WBTA. It would be awesome to do both the Princess and the Pirate in the same year though.
