Walt Disney World Wine & Dine Half Marathon...anyone running

DisneyAddictRW

Just wondering if anyone here is going to be running the Walt Disney World Wine & Dine Half Marathon October 1st? Anyone ever run a night race before? I'm fairly new to running I've only run 1 half and 1 full marathon in January 2011. (Goofy Challenge 5K, Half, and Full in one weekend). I'm nervous about the night side of the race. The day is going to be a busy one....
7AM 5K (running as a family with a stroller)
10AM Kid Races (4 and 6 yr old)
Afternoon no big plans other than DISNEY
730PM Kids Nite Out sitter will be at resort
10PM Half Marathon

Any thoughts to food for the day? I have a reservation to eat at Mama Melrose's at Hollywood Studios. I'm just worried eating and that night running 13.1 miles. How will my body deal with the food I take it and do I watch VERY close to what I put in my body that day?

I have ran in the Ragnar Relay, and it is non stop day and night, for 200 miles (12 runner run it tho) the night time is super fun! you have to wear head lamps and tush lights, and a reflective vest but other than that it is SUPER fun!

thanks!

I think I worry a little too much about some things! I'm hoping the night part will be exciting since it will be something different. I just hope our character pictures turn out! I love to take pictures and post them to facebook during the race. The comments from friends is so uplifting I love it!
