This is one of the premier runs in the United States. This one makes the listing in Runners World - not even the Baltimore Marathon makes it there yet. This was also the first one that began with a huge fireworks display - it was awesome!
Race opening was COLD! I traveled to Orlando expecting that it'd be overly warm, having come from the mid-Atlantic and it has been cold. However, the weather seemed to wish to acomodate those of us from the north, as gun time temperature was a balmy 27 degrees with a nice 10 mph breeze! Brrrrrrr....
Above is my buddy from Real Green Systems out of Lansing Michigan. Steve ran an awesome marathon under 3:10 and qualified for Boston - "Way to go STEVE!!!" Fortunately for him, I left the car unlocked so he had a relatively warm place to go while waiting for me.
For me, I fully intended to run this race and take pictures. I snapped a whopping 70 pictures on the course. I won't post them all here, but here are a few to follow. I hope you enjoy and if you get a chance to come and run this race, it is well worth it. The whole Disney Team did an awesome job!!!
Here are some pics:
This was (obviously) just running into The Magic Kingdom! What an awesome park. I had no idea how mystical and majestic this place is.
A close up pic of the Kingdom! This pic prompted me to tell my family, "We're going to Disneyworld in 2011~"
This guy was playing piano out on the course - just a fun and awesome time!!!!
Two pics here, one above and the one below of Universal Studios Orlando - too cool!!!
Another pic to follow.
