As a company that’s never shy to give their paying fans what they never knew they wanted, Disney has taken this mindset to the extreme with what they brand as the “ Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend”. Disney holds a series of wildly popular themed races at both its Florida and California parks throughout the year, but only their January edition includes the full marathon distance.Īnd that’s not all it includes. No other marathon elicits such fanatical loyalty and across-the-board glowing recommendations as Disney’s 26.2-miler (as I write this, it’s among the most reviewed events on RaceRaves). The iconic Sorcerer’s Hat in Disney’s Hollywood Studios (though not for long, they’re taking it down!) And we runners looking to cross a finish line in all 50 states (even Florida) will always have the Walt Disney World Marathon. Luckily though, even Florida follows the Law of Conservation of Crazy – meaning that while most of the state wallows in wacky, the rest of us will always have Walt Disney World. As sheer lunacy goes, Florida makes California look like Sunday morning at the bingo parlor.
Except that, well, all of them happened in just one state.Īh, Florida – our nation’s fortress of freakery, bastion of the bizarre and theater of the absurd. You’d probably assume I was either making these up, or researching a book on “Life in these crazy United States”.
