Has anyone run the 5k Friday morning of marathon weekend? Is it worth the $40 entry fee without chip timing, etc.? I am torn between paying more for race...
I guess they moved it out of the weekend - it used to be on half marathon day. I did it a couple of years ago when I did Goofy. It's a fun event with the kids...
Thanks Nancy for the input. This year (as last year was also) is through Animal Kingdom. I have read the Disney running forum race reports, etc., regarding...
Ahhh, I hadn't checked on the current location - I'd definitely skip it in the Animal Kingdom! The paths there are hilly and narrow and the crowding would make...
This past January it was a lot of families. Seemed to me to be kind of crowded. Better off taking a jog yourself. Now for little kids the races they had at...
Thanks for the input from both of you. As this inquiry was for myself (adult not kid), the kids' runs at WWS aren't an option, so a private jog with members...

Go Daria! Good for you. Expedition Everest sounds wild-maybe one day. I think we have stumbled onto a new medal category. The dopey medal-all 3 races in the...
Sorry, we were calling it Dopey already way back in 2005! http://nancytoby.blogspot.com/2005/12/goofy-strategy.html Here are the four medals from the first...
What I meant was instead of just calling it that there should be an official medal for someone who does all three. Has that happened yet? If so, I would love...
