Marathon Weekend 2022

[sandam1]

Does anyone remember who the sunglass vendor in the exhibitor hall was that had the Minnie Mouse polka dot sunglasses? I believe they were in that first row as you came down the stairs, towards the shirt hand out booths.

My credit card receipt has them as Sparkly Soul. (I bought a pair of these sunglasses)

I know goodr sunglasses was there, but I don’t know if they have Minnie glasses.

Bingo! That is them! Thanks a bunch!

Has anybody received their medal(s) for running the virtual 5k, 10k, etc. yet?

I think that W&D medals just finished going out. Or are finishing up being shipped. I think last year it was 6-8 weeks after the "official" weekend (when everything was virutal) that stuff started to show up and it's been longer than that since they've run dual in-person/virtual events. You might be looking at late March/early April if the timing is similar to W&D shipping times.

Thanks! I was concerned it got lost in shipping.

I've seen a couple of reports of people receiving their MW virtual boxes. If yours hasn't arrived already, I would think you'll have it sometime in the next couple of weeks.

I just filled out the contact form on the rD site and asked if there was an ETA on virtual shirts and medals. If we receive anything with more details than a form letter, I'll post it here.

Well, I took a year off Dopey and they decide to cancel the races. Pretty sure I have to be in for 48.6 this time just to make sure the Weekend happens for everyone. Gotta take one for the team.

looking forward to it

I just got my MW Virtual 10K swag today. I do not understand why runDisney can’t send the 5K and 10K swag at the same time but I now have half my MW swag.

Big huge box, or smaller box? (One size for everything like MW/PHM in 2021 or 2 sizes like SW?)

Same size as the 2 boxes I got from W&D (5K and Challenge) and the one from 2021 Summer Virtual Series. It’s absolutely ridiculous to have such a big box for a single shirt and medal (and a sheet of stickers )

That's pretty funny. My princess box from last year was bigger than my Lion King box by a couple of inches. But my star wars box (5k only) is smaller than both. They cannot pick a size!

I got my WDW virtual 1/2 box with shirt and medal yesterday.

Virtual 10k shirt & medal delivered yesterday

@DopeyBadger I’m planning on training for the Goofy Challenge for next year‘s MW. Do you feel that the Hanson’s Marathon Method is sufficient for the race and a half challenge?

Obviously I'm not @DopeyBadger, but I'd say just about any standard marathon training plan with consistent back to back run days during training will prepare you sufficiently for either Goofy or Dopey if your goal is to finish upright and comfortably.

Yes. Plenty sufficient. Any good marathon training plan (which includes Hansons) is sufficient for Goofy or Dopey. Be sure to read the book cover to cover to reap all the benefits.

Never knew they were doing running plans, but I guess with their music no longer getting much airplay that they have time for running these days....
