As long as it's not banana peels. Have you ever played Mario Kart?
There are 2(!) banana stations on the WDW Marathon course. Just sayin...

I hate clif gels. Taste, consistency, packaging...nothing I like about them. BUT, are you saying there are no on course gels? I carry my own but figured they would have some in case of an "emergency".
I got a Snickers Crisper in 2017. It was just as you were entering HS. I know there were other choices available, but I can't remember what.What was (if any) the chocolate handed out in 2017 anyone remember (I didn't run)? Was it still at/near Studios?
2015 I think I grabbed a crackle little bar & 2016 I didn't take any but thought it was Dove.
I don't like sports beans (just feel like that stick in my teeth) & don't eat/like bananas so thinking if they still do chocolate that might be all I take on course, maybe, or not at all. I'll bring clif gels with me.

Yes and Yes.Are there Photo Pass photographers on the course? If we get the Memory Maker, are these pics included?
Yes and Yes.
Thats terrible. I understand the agreement with Clif ending and if you have a new "nutrition" sponsor and they cant supply gels you should find somebody who should.
They are only in the parks though or with character stops (but may not be at all stops). So based on past races they won't just be out on the highways. Look for the little green tents or when it's dark, bright lights. They seem to come in groups on both sides when going through parks. Sometimes you might find one wondering around the prerace area & then they also have the backdrop photos for when you get your medals.Are there Photo Pass photographers on the course?

I spent some quality time with one of the handlers last week and learned that the cubs have to learn certain skills before they can go outside. Like, swimming - every display enclosure has a water feature, so they need to be 100% sure the cubs can swim well before being let out there. Also, the enclosure that backs up to the area housing hoofed animals? It has a giant ditch between the two enclosures to keep the tigers from, you know, eating the hoofed animals. The ditch will have a big log the tigers can use to climb back up onto their own side if they fall in (unlikely with an adult, but cubs playing? could easily fall), but the handlers need to know with certainty that the cubs know how to do that, so they're teaching that skill backstage. Neat stuff! The handler I spoke with said it's coming along nicely, but the cubs are growing so quickly, they're likely to look a lot like adult tigers by the time they come out for public viewing.Went to AK today and asked when the tiger cubs will be out. Was told after the first of the year. All the people going to AK for various reasons on marathon weekend, please check out the Asia walking trail and see the tiger cubs.
Totally happened at W&D! Not so much loose beans, though - the packages were everywhere. And whatever flavor they chose had a black package, which blended nicely with the blacktop pavement. I didn't see anyone slip or fall, but it felt rather dodgy.Why do I suddenly have visions of people dropping beans like marbles on the course and people slipping/tripping/crunching beans everywhere?
I ran a HM last month and everyone must have not seen the garbage can because the area after the gel station was all sticky. It was like a giant gel had exploded!I don't care for gels. The beans are nice and far cleaner than gu.
Why does it have to be gels? Sportbeans work fine as fuel during a race. That's what they're made for.
Im not of the thought they should ONLY have gels, its NOT having gels that's my issue.I'm one of the few people around these parts that don't like gels, so I welcomed this change.
I like the beans better, but don't like the ingredient make-up all that much ... but it is a fuel supplement that I will use in addition to what I bring with me as opposed to those gels that I hate.
Yes, just before entering hollywood studios they had small dove chocolates and full sized bags of crispy m&m's. I ended up leaving my unopened bag on a cone along the street near the tower of terrorI got Dove and M&Ms there I believe.
