OK, full disclosure time. I've been
immensely curious about the new Marathon course right after the runDisney Blog mentioned the new changes on September 20th. And I fully understood I would not receive any more information until mid-December. 3 long months to wait. The suspense is killing me.
To keep my impatience slightly under control, I've been re-reading the 2019 forum posts right before and right after the waivers, corrals and event guides were released. Considering that we are in the 'calm before the storm' now -- with just our normal training routines and long runs to plan -- it helps to keep the motivation train going.
And.... based on my estimations, we are approximately 1 month away from the release of info. A little research produced the numbers below. And check out the increasing size of this thread each year...
