Tower of Terror 13K info

[geetey]

Hi everyone!
I haven't been on the WISH boards in a while but was one of the original WISH walkers. After some time away from training (had some medical issues to deal with), I received the email from WDW about the Tower of Terror 13K in October. I have looked around the WISH boards and see the ToT roster but no information about the 13K. I didn't find much info on the WDW site either.

Anyone know the time requirements for the 13K? What about the 6.5K? My dd wants to join me so I am not sure which event we should try (since it will be her first race of any kind). Any ideas about the route?

Thanks for any information anyone might have to share! I think it is time to add another piece of 'jewelry' to the collection! It is all about the jewelry, right?

The time rquirements are:

PACING REQUIREMENTS

All participants for the 13K and the 6.5K must be able to finish the race within two and a half hours.

Welcome back Terry. I'm fairly new here but it's a darn fine group of athletes.

We have a walker post to share walking related stuff.

Hi Terry! Welcome Back!

You cna do this. The 6.5 at least is the same pace requirement as the 13k. Medals for all! There are many WISHers going as you saw and many will be back of the pack several first timers as well as seasoned veterans.

Join in the walker/runner thread...similar to the old WISH Walkers thread of days gone by where all levels are sharing their journey.

Come on out and play!

I saw this on the web. So... no sweepers then? That means the 6.5K would require a 36.5 mile pace while the 13K has an 18.5 mile pace (if my calculations are correct ). DD should be able to do that!

Thanks for the welcome, Dave!

LILY!! Wow - things sure have changed since the 05 Wish Walkers/Woggers! I will definitely check things out and see who else is still around! Thanks for the welcome back!

I think they will be sweeping the course because they won't want people out there til whenever. I think they will follow the 18 1/2 pace of the 13K'ers.

BTW, welcome back and see you in Oct

That makes more sense, Robert. I was thinking that a pace over 30 minutes was awfully lenient!

Thanks for the welcome back and hopefully we will see everyone in October!
