  • Comments: Good race and fun course. I was kinda thrown through a loop when they told me my corral filled up and wouldn't let me in, but I got over it pretty quickly. All in all very well put together and I had a blast out there.

  • Comments: This race is very well organized & supported. The only downside is that you have to get there by 4:00 am, and wait for 2 hours before the race even starts, but I understand why they do it. I like that there is a relatively low limit on the number of participants, too. It's a huge race, but it wasn't too completely crowded. They also had the largest water stops I have ever seen. Overall, the race is a lot of fun, and I can see why people are so eager to do the Goofy's Challenge. I think I might want to sign up for it some day!

  • Comments: FUN! I went to Orlando DETERMINED to just do the half marathon. But, the seond I got to Wide World of Sports for packet pickup I knew I would do both. When I got my packet they put the Goofy Challenge bracelet on me and this year they gave us Goofy Challenge shirts! I knew I couldn't have that shirt and know that I didn't do both races. I know it was stupid, but I don't regret it at ALL and I had an awesome PR marathon, so there!

  • Comments: Well done race and kind of cool running thru the park. They kept you entertained with bands along the route. The aide stations were plentiful and well stocked with tones of volunteers. I would definately do it again esp as it is so close to home. I'm going to call this a PR as the Luna chicks race isn't exactly well organized nor are the distances accurate, and I just went by my iPod+. I certainly felt a TON stronger during this race than I did 2 weeks ago so it is a triumph for me regardless of time, pace etc. Next goal is sub 2:20 and distant goal 2:10...I think I got 2:10 in me. I can say that I did my very very best and that is all anyone can ask of themselves.

  • Comments: Long stretches without any crowd support. Several chutes too narrow for the number of runners to easily get through and pass others. Too many walkers in front of runners. (I started in last wave to be with my daughter, who had no prior races and hence no seeded time.) Passing the walkers, who were shoulder-to-shoulder, was difficult.

  • Comments: I did not like being in the LAST time group. I was with all the group walkers and that just blew my mind right from the get go.
