    Official Goofy 2018 Thread

    I am in for Goofy 2018. Only wanted to do the Half, but waited too long to register. Seems to me this has happened before. Was hoping they would recognize the 2018 Half as the 20th running with a unique medal. I have enough duck heads hanging on the wall. Starting the Galloway plan today. I was...

    Official 2014 Dopey Challenge Thread!

    Here is my experience, for what it is worth: I ran Dopey in 2012, at age 62, and had no problem. My training plan was the Team-in-Training marathon plan, which I modified slightly. I ran Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. The modification was - whatever I ran on Saturday (long run)...

    Official 2014 Dopey Challenge Thread!

    I agree Mr. Bean. I took a solemn oath that I would not run Disney in January again after that disastrous Full in the heat this year. I registered for Wine and Dine a few weeks before Dopey was announced. Well, I swallowed the Dopey bait hook, line, sinker, rod, and reel. (And glad I did.)...

    Thank you for posting this. The video answered a lot of my questions and verified some things that I have heard elsewhere. Good job.

    Actually, mine was quite easy. It was a deferment from last year. Didn't feel that I was sufficiently trained for 2012. If I had planned to do all of these races so close together, I could probably qualify for a Stupid Challenge medal.

    It was not part of my plan BUT, I am doing Marine Corps Marathon in October and Wine and Dine two weeks later ONLY because I was already registered for them before Dopey was announced.

    Here it is. It came from the Disney Marathon Weekend page. FYI- according to a Goofy Training page here on Facebook, they are saying that Dopey is already 42% full and they are allowing 1800 runners for it! Filling up FAST! Like · Reply · 1 · about an hour ago Not sure it is true, but...

    I am in! Registered and confirmed. I noticed on Facebook this morning that it is reported to be 42% full after the first day. That made be nervous so I searched Facebook (Dopey Challenge page) for the link and fortunately found it. Guess it is time to change my avatar from Goofy to Dopey!

    Still no success. I am hoping that they just shut it down temporarily. Thanks for the advice.

    Guess it makes no sense to wait for the Visa email now.

    TorontoGirl, All of this has been very informative. Thank you for doing the leg work to keep us in the loop. Appreciate it. Anyone heard about early registration opportunities for Disney Visa holders? I am getting antsy about getting in before Dopey closes. Thanks, Bob

    The Official 2013 Wine and Dine Half Marathon Thread

    Today was to be my first training day for Marine Corps, Wine and Dine, and Dopey. The April Fool's joke was on me. I could not locate my running gear (shoes, Garmin, chest strap, etc.). Finally realized that I have not seen any of it since I returned from WDW in January. When I got home...
