runDisney WDW Marathon Sells Out

August 10, 2013 | Disney, runDisney, running, Travel

It’s official, the 2014 runDisney marathon in January has SOLD OUT! (There are still a few spaces left for Goofy’s challenge and the kids races, but hurry!)

This race officially sold out in under four months, which happens to be one of the fastest marathon sell outs in the history of runDisney. Way to go guys!

Did you know that almost 26,000 runners are participating in marathon weekend? It’s going to be a giant runner party all weekend long, and I cannot wait to participate. Of those 26k, over 13k are signed up specifically for the marathon. There will be lots of new 26.2 stickers slapped on the back of cars after this one yall!

Lots of fun new things happening for marathon weekend. This will be the first time the event is stretched to five days with the addition of the new 10k race distance.

WOW that’s a jam packed week of fun. I am going to love every minute (well, except maybe mile 25 of the marathon?) We are just starting to get back into “race season” as far as runDisney is concerned, and I am getting super excited for all the fun things coming up! (Hello, Dumbo Double dare in three weeks?!?)

Stay tuned next week for some packing and travel tips for Disneyland half marathon weekend. It’s so close!

QOTD: Are you participating in Marathon weekend? Are you racing ANYWHERE in January? Where?

    We were there for marathon weekend in 2013 and it was crazy, I can only imagine what it will be like in 2014 with the additional race/challenges!

    I am doing the 10K this year and hoping to do Dopey or Goofy next year for my first full marathon! I have been very tempted to sign up for Goofy this January, but I am flying to CA for the Thinkerbell 10K and Half the following weekend. Plus I want to have the Marathon in 2015 be the first for both my husband and I. We couldn’t do it this upcoming year due to him being deployed.

I’m not suggesting you go into debt to go on vac I’m not suggesting you go into debt to go on vacation. But I am suggesting you remember that time is something you can’t get back, and memories are something that will stay with you longer than things. 🚢 

As we enter the holiday season, maybe it’s time to consider that long overdue vacation instead of quite so many things under the tree? Maybe a few less items for some time away to rest and recharge with loved ones?

@disneycruiseline is great for just that because they truly have something for everyone, from babies, kids, to adults. The cruise we just went on included beach time, pool time, an obstacle course, lots of eating, basketball, foosball, ping-pong, movie, watching, scavenger hunt finding, pirates (the nice kind!), ice cream, and so much more. ✨🫶🏻 

Always happy to answer questions about the most magical cruise line around!

🚢 A vacation should actually feel like a vacati 🚢 A vacation should actually feel like a vacation right? I hear too many people coming home from vacations with their kids that say they are exhausted and now need another vacation from their vacation. 

This is why I love @disneycruiseline. 💖

They have kids clubs included in the price of your cruise fare* that are open for a lot of the day and late into the night. This allows for adults only time at the adults only pool, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. Not to mention, the kids absolutely have a blast. Mine never wanted to leave! 🫶🏻

it’s a win-win situation in my book. They get to go have some fun with other kids, and I get to relax and recharge on my vacation, and then we can also spend quality family time together as well! ✨

Send this to someone you are trying to convince to go on a DCL cruise with you! 😏

*included in cruise fare for kids clubs, not the nursery which is an extra charge.

We absolutely love Orange Beach, it’s one of our We absolutely love Orange Beach, it’s one of our favorite places to visit and feels like home. 🫶🏻

There are so many great businesses with employees that make you feel like family. Here are a few we visited over fall break. Be sure to save this for your next visit to the beach! Have you been to any of these places? 🍊 

@coastalorangebeach: Not only a beautiful restaurant right on the gulf with amazing food, drinks, and servers, but also a really great store with amazing merch! We found some great stuff. If you go to the restaurant, ask for J-Mac to be your server and make sure to get a bushwhacker with a peanut butter floater! 😋 

@florabama_olerivergrill : Right on the bama/Florida line, this fun restaurant boasts beautiful sunsets, a fun cocktail menu (the key lime colada was amazing!) and you can even rent pontoon boats and jet skis from the marina, or take a dolphin cruise! 🐬 

@theorangebeachstore : I’ve passed this store 100 times but this was my first time inside and now I’m mad that I have been missing out all this time. They have a beautiful selection of really nice souvenirs from great brand names you already know and love. Great quality clothing and other things like blankets, cup, hats, and candles. I shopped forever! 

@fbyachtclub_ : The Flora Bama Yacht club is also right on the state line on the bay side and has fun live music, a really nice menu including crab claws, hummus, chicken pasta, and key lime pie. Service was great and we loved the live music. 

Thank y’all for having us! ✨

Holiday shopping days with my mini me are some of Holiday shopping days with my mini me are some of my favorite traditions. ✨☕ 
From grabbing coffee to wandering through the decorated stores, there’s just something magical about this season. We laughed, made memories, and even managed to cross a few names off our list. 🎄 (ad) 

One of our favorite stops was Reeds at West Town Mall, where I spotted the new Victorinox Air Pro — a watch that’s Swiss-made with incredible craftsmanship, a stainless steel case, shock + water resistance, and even the ability to track 3 time zones at once. 🙌 It’s modern, timeless, and such a meaningful find for the men in my life.

The best part? Ending the day with full shopping bags, full hearts, and a gift I know will be worn and treasured for years. 💫 @victorinoxnorthamerica
