So this has been going around the blogosphere for the last week or so, but I wanted to add my 2 cents to the changes<\/a> to runDisney Marathon Weekend for 2014.<\/p>\n

I think the biggest change is the addition of a 10k and the creation of the Dopey Challenge.\u00a0 Disney is known for its Goofy Challenge – running the half on Saturday and the full on Sunday gets you an additional medal shaped like Goofy – but many runners did an unofficial Dopey challenge by also doing the 5k on Friday.<\/p>\n

runDisney decided to one up us all.\u00a0 I’m betting this had to do with the success of the Dopey Challenge over at Disneyland (10k + half).\u00a0 They’ve added a 10k to Marathon Weekend!\u00a0 That means that there’s a 5k on Thursday, a 10k on Friday, a half on Saturday and a full on Sunday.\u00a0 And if you run them all, you are Dopey and get the Dopey Challenge Medal (and the Goofy Challenge medal and the medals for all four races of course).\u00a0 Intense.<\/p>\n

I’m not going Goofy or Dopey this year.\u00a0 No, I’m running the marathon again in 2014, but I also signed up for the 10k.\u00a0 Why? Because it’s on my birthday!<\/p>\n

Other changes?<\/p>\n

Fewer runners allowed to register, meaning a less crowded course.\u00a0 I didn’t have trouble with this for the marathon, but definitely did for the Princess Half.\u00a0 Glad to see this happening.<\/p>\n

Requirement of proof of time for all runners and no moving corrals on at the Expo.\u00a0 I like this idea, but it remains to be seen how it will all work out.<\/p>\n

More corrals.\u00a0 HOORAY!<\/p>\n

Women’s cut tech shirts.\u00a0 Not something I needed, but something that I’m glad to see.<\/p>\n

So there you have it.\u00a0 I can’t wait to see what the medals look like for all of these races.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
