Carrie & Scott!!! You know you want it, you were watching it as closely as the rest of us Come to the dark side and see MGM lite up ever so prettily

Correction. I know I want it. If Scott wanted it too, we'd be signed up. I'm thinking tax refund? The anniversary present try did not seem to go over well. He hates teh stretch from AK to MGM, so I really need a map showing tha it won't include those overpasses to convince him.

I couldn't wait for the DVC application. I'll get my turkey leg some other way!

Robert & Kristi, thanks for the info. I will remember that next time. I never think about the DVC discount. This will be our 3rd MNSSHP, and the first time I will be using the DVC discount.

Goodmorning all,

I think I've lost it, this is the 5th Disney related endurance event that I'm participating in this year. But I'm in and am VERY excited to run this event. This one looks and sounds way cool

My daughter and I just signed up for the 13K--our very first race. I'm a total newbie at running, but I plan to really train hard between now and then. ) Does anyone know if there is a pace or time requirement? I can walk for hours at a good clip without wearing down too much, but running takes it out of me a bit quicker. We're so excited to be a part of this!

If you read the description below it won't get near AK. If you look at the marathon map, the mile 20 to 24 is about MGM. Add a litttle of WWS and there is no way to go beyond WWS or it would be way too long. Remember it is an out and back.

"The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™ 13K is an 8.1 mile night-time road race that will begin and end in the shadows of The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror attraction at the Disney-MGM Studios. The course will also feature Disney's Wide World of Sports® Complex, before returning to Disney-MGM Studios where the course will feature the Lights, Motors, Action™ Extreme Stunt Show and then down New York Street, past the Sorcerer's Hat, to an unforgettable finish at The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™. The 6.5K only scares you half way and back."

From my map, it looks like you *could*, go out towards victory way, down to WWoS and over to Mile 19 from the marathon and back. That leaves about the first and last miles in the park and out 3. I'm hoping they'll loop through WWoS and that will take up the extra slack. I know the description implies it, but the marathon route technically "includes" WWoS too and you really don't even see it. (At least I don't by then. )

Remember this race has a twilight zone theme, they may put out a map and send you somewhere else. We may never return to life as we know it.

Well it could happen!

You know, in some ways, that might not be a bad thing....

Carrie, Anything is possible but my quess is they would want to change up the course a little. If you were right, we would have 2 out and back road sections. That would be ugly.

Dave: Hanging with you at ToT, will be a life changing event

 

[Lexxiefern]

Do you think the 6.5k and 13k medals will be the same or different? Sorry, I just saw the picture of the new minnie 15k medal and I am getting excited.

I would think that they would have to as us 13Kers want to show we did twice as much. Otherwise might as well take the easy way out

Robert after a few of my stories you might be looking for something to hit me over the head with.

Like the time when I was married to a farmers daughter, and had gone to the farm to hunt ground hogs and fell out of the tree and broke my gun. Then was attacked by the bull on the way back. Talk about making a good impression on the new inlaws.

Do you think it'll be a cheesy plastic medal like the 5K ones they give out during marathon weekend?

Dave - I think you should start a "Who's going to the ToT13K?" list like I have for the Goofy/Full/Half....which BTW I am going right to now to update.

I nominate Dave! Anyone?? Anyone???

 

[Jodi]

Yeh! Make Dave Do It!! Make Dave Do It!!
