The dates were just released. October 4-6, 2013. This will be my first runDisney event. I started running this past Labor Day just to be able to run in this event! I am up to 4 miles. My goal is a pace of 12 minute miles with a stretch goal of 10 minute miles. I have eight months. I think it is doable.

Who else is running this?

    Just signed up! I ran the Princess Half this past February and had SO much fun! Can't wait for this race!

    This will be my first Disney race as well. My goal is to be able to run the race at a 10 minute mile pace for the whole time. I've just been trying to do carido for an hour right now to help me build up to it. When should I start to ramp up my training??

    That depends on how much running you actually do now... you'll only want to increase your mileage by 10% each week and would most likely want to complete 9 miles two weeks before the event so that you can run less mileage during the week of the race. Based on what I run now, I would most likely only need 4(ish) weeks to get ready for the race and probably won't start training until the beginning of September.

    Thanks for the tip! I appreciate that. So far, I'm running 6 miles between a 9:30 to 10 minute mile pace.

    Oh then you're in a great place! if you maintain that fitness, I'd guess about 4 weeks or so would be all that you need!

    I'm running the ToT 10 Miler this year. I ran the Inaugural ToT 13K, way back when. Hope to see some of you there!
