As you can see there aren’t many options left if you’re planning on running Disney this year! If you’re looking for a longer race in 2013, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 10-Miler looks to be your only option left. This will be the 2nd year of this race and it looks like Disney has been listening to our feedback from last year’s race. Check out this video that was released today:
I’m so glad to hear that they are improving on the entertainment from last year since that was severely lacking. Check out my race recap for more info…now if only they could guarantee it won’t be so hot! Today is the last day to register before the price increases to $165 tomorrow, so get too it! The medal is so worth it 🙂
Make sure to go to www.rundisney.com for more information on all the races or to register for an upcoming race. See you there!
Interesting that they pretty much directly addressed the fact that the race sort of sucked last year! It definitely makes me interested in trying it again but I don’t think I can swing it this year, plus I am terrified of the weather at that time of year now, I think ToT was my worst run EVER (not just race, run overall!). Are you doing it again this year??
I have the same fear about the weather and it was so lame last year, I can only hope it will get better. Sounds like they’re trying! I did sign up (with my fingers crossed!) mainly b/c since I did the inaugural year, I want to keep going.
Do you know anything about rumors that runDisney is planning a race at Disneyland Paris for 2014?
I have heard some rumors, but nothing official yet.
Are you allowed to park at DHS if you aren’t staying at a hotel on property? This is my first race ever and im trying to do as much research to keep the insanity and anxiety as low as possible lol!
Last year you could not park at DHS. If you weren’t staying on property, you had to park at ESPN Wide World of Sports and take a shuttle over. Half of the parking lot at DHS was used for the staging area for the race.
Here are the final race instructions from last year to give you a better idea of what when down: https://runningatdisney.com/2012/09/13/the-twilight-zone-tower-of-terror-10-miler-final-race-instructions/

Great! Thanks for the info 🙂
