  • Comments: Really you can't beat this race for entertainment value. Disney does an amazing job considering the number of people that do this race. Only disappointment is post race food, although I wasn't really in the mood anyway. I would highly recommend this race to anyone.

  • Comments: It is hard to beat the Disney experience - given the family orientation, fun and activities during the weekend. This race was special, because I was so proud of my Wife for finishing the half marathon as her first race ever and beating her goal time by 19min. So we both set PRs and had a blast together. I think I am up for the Goofy Challenge next year....

  • Comments: A great race, tons of volunteer support, great medals. 23 water stations in 26 miles. Expo was a bit crowded and sold out of a lot of things quickly. Course congestion can get a little bad in parts so don't plan on making this a PR race, but it's an absolutely awesome experience.

  • Comments: Great event. This was my second. Like anything Disney, it was first class and organized. This is a great fun event. If I was to ever suggest an event to run a first marathon at, it would be this one.

  • Comments: I enjoyed this race a lot. My first marathon had to be with Mickey! Everything was well organized and met my expectations (except the weather). Even though we had 25,000 runners to start out with I was surprised to see how smoothly we started, ran, and finished. The Goofy Challenge has given me a new motovator. Either I'll hit it this year or wait for 2015 and it's 10th anniversary!

  • Comments: I still love Disney races, and they pulled out all the stops to make the 20th Anniversary Marathon special. My own condition took away from my experience; I plan to return again in 2015 for the 10th Goofy Challenge.

  • Comments: Also with the walk to the starting corrals and the walk to and from the parking lot and such, I probably added 1.5-2 miles of walking to each total.
