Does this still exist? How can I sign up?
Yeah dang, that kind of sucks. Oh well, I want to do it anyway. It's kind of a bucket list item for me, since I didn't do it last time and I have already done a dozen Disney races since then.I wish it would go back to the old way of doing it.
On our last trip in November 2022 we saw so many people short cut the course. They either did not go around the loop twice "because they did not know" or we heard one couple say they were only going to walk to the end of the runway and then go back to get the medal.
With that said, we did answer several peoples question that were standing on the runway confused what the course was because there was no one at the entrance to the loop to guide people.
Yeah that's likely what I will do, either on my apple watch or I'll just use my Peloton app.If you have a smart watch you can run your own path to tally 5k. Last time I did it the weather was so hot and humid that I just kept circling the loop to stay in some shade and not trot down the hot runway.
They used to tell us that you ended up doing 6 K by the time you added in your walk from the ship to the start line, so if you go right back to the ship you are almost at 7. I've done it 12 times and even in the winter it is a hot sticky "run" but it is tradition now, I have to do it. Then it is head to the adult beach lunch for rib eye steaks, ice cream and giant chocolate chip cookies.Yeah that's likely what I will do, either on my apple watch or I'll just use my Peloton app.
