Don't Be TOO Slow...

One thing you guys forgot to mention about the WDW Marathon and Half-Marathon - you must be on pace to finish within 3 1/2 hours (half) or 7 hours (full). If you're not on pace to finish within these limits at certain points on the course, you will be taken off the course. (This is also true for the Disneyland Half-Marathon in California and I bleieve it's true for some of the other distance races held at WDW.)

I bring this up for the benefit of first-timers and folks like me who walk slower than sap runs from trees in New Hampshirein the winter. I've had a few equally slow friends taken off the course in years past - in one instance at a location that wasn't listed as a cutoff point. Make sure you take this into account as you train.

I honestly don't know why Disney does this - it's the only unfriendly component of an otherwise very beginner-friendly event.
