Running the Goofy Race in Orlando Florida January 2009

Hi Ultra Marathoners,

I am planning on running the Goofy Race sponsored by Disney World in Orlando Florida in January 2009.

Registration Date Begins on January 14, 2008.

Registration usually fills up for the Goof Run fairly quickly....in about 6 weeks last year.

To Qualify for the Goofy Award (Medal) you must run the Half Marathon on a Saturday followed by the Full Marathon on the following Sunday in under 3.5 hours for the Half and 7.5 hours for the Full.  the distance total, of course will be about 63 Km or 39.3 miles.

After that, we can relive our childhood at Disney World.

Accommodations: Suggestions are welcome.  However, I was thinking of Booking a Townhouse of about 1,500 SF with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms for   a b o u t   $285 per night. for 6 nights.

I shall be happy to bring a sleeping bag and air mattress.

You could use points to fly.  Getting an RBC card collects AVION points.  If you collect 33,000 points, in October you may get a chance to "convert it" to British Airways points and get 50% more.  that should get you about 50,000 points, which is what you should require to fly to Orlando.  It might be cheaper because that is the amount required for Overseas flights.

I have 3 people who will be going, including myself.

Thoughts or replys welcome.  Crazy?  It is, unfortunately a Road Race.
