Marathon Changes at Walt Disney World
The 2012 Disney World Marathon weekend will have some changes from previous years.
Disney World is celebrating it's 15th anniversary of the Half Marathon and will be creating a special anniversary edition of it's Donald Duck finisher medal. Another change is the addition of a relay option where each team member will run 13.1 miles, first starting at EPCOT and the second at the Magic Kingdom. There will be a special finisher medal depicting Chip and Dale. Registration for Disney marathon weekend in Orlando is now open. Disney Marathon weekend runs 6-8 Jan, 2012.

That is almost worth doing a half marathon for!

This sounds far better the the Birmingham Half Marathon I've done the last 3 years.
Has anyone ever done this - how would one go about entering ?

I will actually be there that weekend... maybe i should enter! I've never done a run though... a half marathon might be a bit of a push as a starter run

Just checked out the routes for this - and looks fab.
Half marathon takes in EPCOT and MK, whereby the full marathon is all 4 theme parks. Kind of forces you to do the full one. Not sure how to post short links - but map of route is here :- runinfinity/wp-content/up...thon_Route.jpg

I did the Goofy challenge last year (i.e. 2010) and it was fantastic. Brilliant atmosphere. Couldn't recommend it enough.
Cheers, Loz

I did the half marathon for the first time in Jan 2010 and i am no marathon runner but we raised lots of money for our local hospice in memory of my mum. My DH did the full thing and our medals are awesome. we are half thinking of doing it again 2012 when we go :-)
