Trying to set a goal for next year--looks like our trip lines up with Marathon weekend!
I have never done a run Disney event, and it's been a long time since I did a 5k. I am out of practice to say the least, and I'll be having a baby in July so I'm hoping this will be a good way to get back into shape.
I have a LOT of questions though!
-It looks like they don't even track finishes for the 5k, is that correct? I would love to have some record of this but it looks like I'd have to do the 10k for that.
-Is the pace requirement for the 5k the 16 minute mile? How about for the 10k? I know I used to be able to walk a 15 minute mile so if that is the case I will be less intimidated.
-Do people dress up for the 5ks on Marathon weekend, or is that just for longer races or the Princess?
-Will I still be eligible for the fun extra purchases like the shoes, the Dooney bags etc if I just run the 5k?
-Are the race 'hotels' the same each time, and if so, which are they? I am DVC and we are currently planning to book at SSR or OKW.
-Can family watch for free?
-I am sure this is unlikely, but is there any childcare available during these races? We have toddlers.
