When someone mentions “Disney World”, what do you think of? Theme parks? Characters? Rides? Family Fun? Of course you’ll find all those things at Disney World! But do you ever think of running a Marathon? How about a Half Marathon? No? Well maybe you should!
Walt Disney World Marathon weekend is January 10-13, 2013 and will feature events for every ability and age!
The Family 5K Event will start the weekend off on Friday! This non-timed 5K run/walk through EPCOT will have an unforgettable finish. This is a great even for the entire family to participate in. All participants will receive a Family 5K Finisher medallion.
Saturday will feature the Half Marathon (13.1 miles) through the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT. Participants will enjoy on-course entertainment, a Donald Duck finisher medal as well as an invitation to the “after party” on Sunday.
Sunday’s Full Marathon is 26.2 magical miles of fun! This course will cover all four theme parks (Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios) and feature on-course entertainment, a Mickey Mouse finisher medal and the “after party” Sunday night.
Don’t worry…Disney hasn’t forgotten about the “future marathoners”! Kids from infant to age 13 can participate in event at Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Five age categories will offer everything from a “Diaper Dash” for little crawlers to the “Mickey Mile” for older kids!
Still not enough of a challenge for you??? Then how about signing up for Goofy’s Race and Half Challenge??? This true test of endurance is for die-hard runners. The 39.3 mile adventure consists of both the Half Marathon on Saturday and the Marathon on Sunday. If you finish both races, you’ll be awarded the much-coveted Goofy medal (in addition to your Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck medals!)
