runDisney has announced that the 2014 Walt Disney World® Marathon Weekend will be bigger and better than ever!
The weekend will expand to five days – Jan. 8-12, 2014. A new 10K race will join the existing Family Fun Run 5K, the Disney Half Marathon, and the Disney Marathon. In past years, runners could participate in the Goofy’s Race and a Half Challenge by completing the Walt Disney World® Half Marathon on Saturday and the Walt Disney World® Marathon on Sunday. Now, runners can add on the 5K race on Thursday and the new 10K race on Friday to accept The Dopey Challenge – a total of 48.6 miles run in four timed events in successive days! Those successfully completing the challenge will receive 6 medals!
Other events throughout the weekend include runDisney Kids Races, the Mickey Mile, and Disney’s Health and Fitness Expo at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. Special ticketed events will include Character Breakfasts, Pasta in the Park parties at Epcot®, and a Cool Down Party at Downtown Disney®.
