2016 Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend, Part 2, Half Marathon and Post Race Party

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Sunday, November 6 – Half Marathon Saturday night was the time change – and we got to “fall back” an hour. That was very nice, since it meant that we got to sleep for an extra hour on what was already a short night! But it didn’t make it a whole lot easier to get … Continue reading "2016 Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend, Part 2, Half Marathon and Post Race Party"

2015 Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
The Wine and Dine Half Marathon is my favorite half marathon at Walt Disney World. It's the only nighttime half marathon. It starts at ESPN Wide World of Sports and ends at Epcot, where there's an after-party that goes until 4:00 a.m. The Food and Wine Festival booths are open as are some attractions, and there's also entertainment and character meet and greets. Party admission is included with race registration, though you still have to pay at the food booths. As we did last year, our plan was to run the race Saturday night, then take a four-night Disney cruise starting on Monday. Oh, and then return to California on Friday to run the Inaugural Infinity Gauntlet Challenge at Disneyland on Saturday and Sunday!

My husband has enjoyed running for a long time, but my 12-year-old son’s newfound interest in the sport has opened our eyes to runDisney races. With his love of Disney and our proximity to Walt Disney World, my son naturally wanted his first races to be runDisney 5Ks. My family is far from unique in … Continue reading "Tips for registering for runDisney races"
