runDisney fans affectionately call this unsanctioned event Dopey because that's what you have to be to do it! The unsanctioned Dopey Challenge is a 5k on Friday morning, the half marathon on Saturday morning and the full marathon on Sunday morning of runDisney's Marathon Weekend. So far, runDisney has been reluctant to sanction this event--but they were reluctant to sanction Goofy too. With this rumored to become a sanctioned event, I bet runDisney will see a jump in registrations.
According to the above link, it looks like a 10k is also being added to Marathon Weekend too. I am guessing with the success of the Disneyland 10k, how could they not. A 10k is a great goal for someone who can easily do a 5k, but is not yet ready for a half marathon. My question now is will the official runDisney sanctioned Dopey Challenge include the 5k, 10k or both? I look forward to hearing all the official details!What do you think of these rumors? Does this make you more likely to participate in the runDisney Marathon Weekend?
A dream is a wish...
