Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 10 miler - September 2012

[Ciorsdah]

Guys

I'm heading over to WDW in Sept and will be there for the 10 miler race and also the Food and wine event.

Has anyone raced at Disney before? Do you think its something I should do for the experience?

I keep fit and do running at home, so the actual distance is NBD. I'm so tempted to do it, as its about 6 days into our 14 day holiday and would be a nice change to get involved in something in WDW that is not usual!!

Hi ya,
We did the F and W half marathon last Oct and it was fabulous. We've never done any race of any kind before so I have nothing to compare it too but we loved it.
Disney put on a great race and I honestly had no complaints about anything at all although some people complained the route was hilly. I think training in the UK on our routes, on which there are so many hills, we barely noticed them on the race.
Medals are pretty cool.
I would not hesitate to say do it and we will be running the TOT 10 miler too this year
Training wise as long as you can comfortably run 8 miles right off the bat right now you won't have a problem with 10. You do have to be able to run 16 min miles (should not be an issue at all if you run anyway) and they do sweep the course if you cannot keep to that pace or under.
If you have any specific questions about anything just ask.
