Just wondering if anyone is going to run the WDW Marathon Weekend? 5K, Half Marathon, or Full Marathon. I think I'm going to start the first round of training/getting back in shape. Then in a few months I can start an actual training program. I ran the entire 3 races in January 2011 but would LOVE to have a better time in 2012. Not that I'm not happy I finished but I'd love a better time.

    I set my goal on the 2012 half marathon Princess race. I do not how I will get my speed up since I am not a runner but I am going to try my best. If there is a 5K I am ready for that one. :) Good luck!

    Disney Marathons are usually in January. I think registration fills-up pretty fast. You have to register now for next year.

    Running at least the Disney half marathon is one of my goals.

    Jan 6th to Jan 8th

    I'm hoping to run the half during the wine & dine but never run a night race before. Only reason we're thinking of that race is b/c we actually schedule our family vacation during that time but by accident. Figured why pass up a Disney race if we're there.

    I'd love to run the Princess with my daughter some day but she's only 11 so she can't yet. Plus she just started running and track. Loves it but has a long ways to go before she can consider a half (plus she's not old enough by Disney rules).

    Last year things filled up in the late fall however I was told that was late. They usually fill up much faster. I had planned on the Disneyland Half in September but it filled up last month before I registered so no DL Half this year.

    The races were filled with lots of entertainment and tons of people running/walking to have fun. I never once felt presured and it was one of the best experiences I've had with my husband. We're hoping to make it an annual trip for the two of us. Something to look forward to but will all depend on money.
