    Marathon Weekend 2025

    SAFD: I was somewhat shocked at how much I enjoyed the Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas Half Marathon a couple years ago. I loved running at dusk vs. early in the AM. Running the full strip, being a virtually 100% out and back so we could see all the other runners the whole time, and having it turn to...

    If they made this there would be fights to be the gunners (yes, I mean between myself and my family) and I would never be able to take anyone arguing Rise>MF:SR seriously again.:rotfl2:

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    When you aren’t alone with your own group the option will always (from what I’ve seen) be given to the larger party to choose their roles first and they will almost always choose some amongst their group to be the pilots. Most of the time, for obvious reasons, groups with kids (even very small...

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    I also feel this way, particularly if you are a pilot in Smuggler’s Run. Smuggler’s Run would’ve made my list if there was a little more interactivity for the gunners and mechanics outside of pushing buttons when they light up. Not sure how they could’ve added more interactivity for those...

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    SAFD: Epcot 1. Gran Fiesta Tour-I love the Three Caballeros and the music. I love the ambience. I love that I can almost always walk directly onto a boat. The Mexico Pavilion is my favorite place is Epcot. As someone who experiences semi-regular migraines and has light sensitivity it is an...

    SAFD: Magic Kingdom 1. Splash Mountain/Tiana’s Bayou Adventure-it may not get another vote since it’s in limbo right now, but it will always be my favorite. If it gets in I will vote for it over anything. 2. Under the Sea-Journey of the Little Mermaid-While I am primarily a thrill ride seeker...

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    Re: Hydration and Fueling I’ll echo what others have, primarily, said: I find there are more than adequate hydration stops along all the Marathon Weekend courses but believe that fueling is best taken into your own hands. I don’t blame rD for the relative lack of fueling options. I think...

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    SAFD: I think it’s okay to admit this, I don’t love running and probably never will. It’s hard work, it’s not particularly fun, and I’m not good at it and that makes me self-conscious. But, I love life. I love my family. I want to be here with them as long as I can. I want to be able to...

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    The aside in my post was more about the merch rD is selling than the “free” race shirts. I’m fine with those, they are what they are. It is disappointing to me that Disney is charging very premium prices for everything in the official merchandise section and my personal feeling is that the...

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    I’m not sure whether making more things available for pre-order will be something they prioritize moving forward or whether the Halloween races are even an increase on pre-order availability (I’m always so focused on registration that I never peruse the pre-orders); but, I can’t imagine how...

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    SAFD (future): The March Madness endeavor seems like a good idea to me (although, despite being fully understanding and supportive of why it is no longer active, Splash Mountain was/is/will always be my favorite attraction;so I’ll need clarity on whether votes for retired and/or confirmed...

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    SAFD: All of my races are in my signature. Marathon Weekend has been my primary source of RunDisney races, I have completed at least one race in every year since my first in 2012. The only other race weekend I’ve done was Dark Side in 2017; it was very fun (and very warm) and I’d love to do some...

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    SAFD: I’ve only ever been to WDW, so my options are pretty limited. I really enjoy both Boo To You! And Festival of Fantasy. As I have been exclusively visiting MK during the evening in the last few years, either for MNSSHP or After Hours, it has been a while since I’ve been able to see Festival...

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    SAFD: A slightly longer explanation, maybe? I haven’t looked at it in a while, is in my long hibernating training journal (thinking I might try to resuscitate it this year). My sister was looking to lose weight after having my niece and nephew. A friend of hers did a rD race a couple years...

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    re: SAFD I’d be happy to fill in with a question or two if/when needed. Particularly if we are looking for something on the more frivolous Disney side of things than rD or Marathon Weekend specific.

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    I’ll be back in 2025 for my 13th straight Marathon Weekend (would be 14 if we ran in 2021). Excited to be back to dates that don’t overlap so heavily with Holiday crowds. Not sure what I’ll run, but my sister is still Perfect Dopey so she’ll need someone to finish a few minutes behind her in at...

    Marathon Weekend 2024

    To add to my previous reply, I believe the 5k and 10k will always be chaotic cluster-bleeps regardless of how they split the corrals. It’s too many people on small mileage spreads. The Half and the Full I think there is ample anecdotal evidence that the earlier system was received better by...

    Marathon Weekend 2024

    It’s a little shocking to me that they used to have such an organized and expansive POT system, accepting times out to at least 2:45 for a half (and I think I remember 3:00 at one point). It was, in my opinion, much better 9back in those days. Running other races and locking in any type of POT...
