Almost time to go Goofy again... WDW Marathon Weekend info is up!

I've been stalking runDisney over the last week or two, anticipating the release of the Official Race Program and the waivers/corral assignments for the 2013 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend.

Well, the time has finally come!  Soon, these awesome medals will be MINE!

It's time to print your WDW Marathon Weekend waivers!  The corral assignment charts are below.

I am bib #20752 for Goofy's Race and a Half Challenge this year.  Hubby is bib #20022 - pretty impressive since Goofy numbers start at 20001!

The Official Race Program has been posted too.  This is your guide to the weekend - the schedule of events, including expo vendors and speakers, start times for each race and corral, party info, etc.

Course maps can be found here:

If you can't make it to the expo, you can have friends or family pick up your race packets for you, but don't forget to send them your signed waiver, the packet pick-up authorization forms (from the Runner Info page) and a copy of your photo ID!  Each event has its own authorization form, so make sure you select the correct one.
