Less than 3 months until I'm officially Dopey!

See that counter to the right of the blog?  It's counting down the days until the Inaugural "Official" Dopey Challenge at Walt Disney World and we're now under 90 days!  If you're registered, are you ready to run nearly 50 miles thru Walt Disney World in January?

For those of you that don't know what I'm talking about, for years, many people have done what has become known as the "Unofficial" Dopey Challenge during Marathon Weekend at Walt Disney World.  This involved running the 5k Family Fun Run on Friday followed by the Goofy Race and a Half Challenge (Half Marathon on Saturday and Full Marathon on Sunday).

However, after this year's unprecedented nearly instantaneous sell out of the Disneyland 10k and Dumbo Double Dare (10k on Saturday and Half Marathon on Sunday), Disney decided to capitalize on the 10k craze and add a 10k to their January WDW Marathon Weekend for 2014.  With the added race, a new challenge was also born....the "Official" Dopey Challenge:


  • 5k on Thursday
  • 10k on Friday
  • Half Marathon on Saturday
  • Full Marathon on Sunday


The Inaugural Dopey Challenge:  4 Races, 4 Days, 48.6 Miles, 6 Medals

Do you have dreams of going Dopey?
