Info about the WDW Marathon Weekend

KEEP COOL THIS SUMMER BACK ISSUES A triumphant moment at the finish line.Want to go backstage at the theme parks of Walt Disney World, hobnob with Disney greats, and see more of the parks in one day than you ever dreamed possible? It's the kind of opportunity that makes true Disney fans run to take part - and run they will, if they choose to participate in the Walt Disney World Marathon on January 8, 2006 ... for a full 26.2 miles. And if they need a little warm-up before the main event, runners can jump into the Walt Disney World Half Marathon the day before, January 7, a jaunt of 13.1 miles. For those runners that are goofy enough to register and complete both races, you'll earn the newly designed Goofy medal. The Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend also includes a Family Fun Run 5k and Kids' Races, but the full and half-marathons are clearly the main events.

Believe me, running a marathon in Florida can ONLY be done in the 'winter' ..

Its perfect running conditions .. lows in the 40s/50s, highs mid-60s. I'll be there chomping at the bit to get going!!

This year the halfer .. maybe next year, the full 26.2. Wouldn't that be something.
