Just wanted to start a thread gauging interest in next year's WDW Marathon Weekend. Registration is coming up in April, and we'd love to see a huge #runICOT turnout, since so much fun was had by all at our inaugural meet.

My hubby and I have been throwing out scenarios for a week or so now, and he's decided to do the Dopey again, and I'm going to train...gasp....for the 10K. We're IN!

Anyone else?

Hmmm... I'm at a definite "maybe".
Nothing concrete yet. I've got a couple more trips this year to get through and then I'll start thinking about 2015. But it would definitely be fun!!!

I'm not surprised if there are a lot of maybes. :)

I should throw in a huge disclaimer though - our plans are for how things stand now with runDisney events. IF there are new races announced for Disneyland, and that's IF, we would then consider what's best for us.

I'm planning on doing the half. Now I just have to hope my finances can support it in April!

I wish I could commit but I just can't at this point. I want to!

I need to take care of some life things first, which includes saving to buy a house. So Disney may take a back seat for a couple years. No way of knowing right now. But I will always be on team #runICOT no matter where I am!

I have a huge strong to desire to go back in 2015 and do the Dopey. I am going to just keep running and working out and make the final decision a couple weeks before Registration opens up.

It's intoxicating. Darn, you Disney! Another way you've hooked me! :mickey: :party: :blush:

Because of my compulsive collective behavior, I'm gonna have to go for the full marathon. I want to have "done them all" and that's a big one missing from my quest.

Heaven help me.

As it stands now, I'm in! Cheering for sure but for which race? I've done the 5K, 10K and half...

I'm with Christine, I need to do the full to complete the round. EEK!

Definitely in. Angel and I are already registered for the 10k and him for the half. Spoiler Alert...registration fees will be higher for 2015 Marathon Weekend. ;)

No spoiler here. It's expected. Prices jumped quite a bit for Disneyland Half.

It's a minor increase this time. I think $5 or $10 for the 10k and maybe $20 for the half.

I'm interested, yes - but I can't commit, yet.

Doing the Dumbo Double Dare in August.

So, there's that.

Things being what they are right now, I think we are out for next year. Of course, everything can always change, but as the Magic 8 Ball would say, "Outlook Not So Good."

My wife and I will be running the half. Funny how an off the cuff "we should run that" turned into a 7 day trip.....

We plan on being there that week for our next trip! I won't run, but I'll meet anyone for a :marg::beer:

I would love to do the Dopey again (she says after a month of recovery), however, my bank account says that I cannot. :( Unless something changes, we're going to have to wait a few years before going back.

I already put my vacation bid in for the week of the marathon weekend and the next week. I am going to try and do the 10K and Dawn is going to do the 5K. That's our plans as of now at least. I'm sure Melanie will keep us updated when the races go on sale.:thumbsup:

Well....was in early planning stages with the DW to work on a Jan '15 trip down but it looks like we will be heading down - with the DS' of course - during NJ Teacher Conference week in November. Still keeping my options open and reading the boards as this has now been added to the ol' bucket list for me. Gotta get it in before father time catches up with my body!!

:cool:

I've been off from WDW & the board for a while (2years!) anyway- I'm in for the 1/2 in January.

So the question is now - how many who planned on doing it actually did it today? :)

I and my son are in for the 5 and 10k ;)
