This was myself, did the run walk and never missed a water stop.

Based on estimated start times and paces, balloon ladies are expected to finish the marathon right around 12:36 PM.

Ah ok. You'll be ok then. I thought someone mentioned their first full as part of Dopey and attributed to you. If you're doing the run/walk and keep hydrated you'll be ok. Weather can be anywhere from 35-85 degrees so that's always an interesting surprise. Have you done other Disney races before to know the particular frustrations of slow starts and 4-wide walking groups? If so then you're all set.

Oh I’m only doing the full but plan on doing a run/walk approach to conserve energy and not be a zombie by the end. Which might happen anyway lol

The likelihood here is that after the half point on Sunday you're going to be out of muscle glycogen and mentally drained, given what you said above. Now if you're in pretty good shape then you can survive that and just shuffle to the finish. But if you want to have a better day Sunday you might need to sacrifice your pace on Saturday. Consider stopping every half mile or mile to walk for a minute. I like to do it based on distance so I try for a tenth of a mile walk after each mile early in the race and then as I start getting sluggish I'll shorten the run segments to keep feeling loose. However, there is something to be said for knocking out a good POT on Saturday for next year and just hoping for the best Sunday. It just hurts more to do it that way.

It’s one of my biggest fears when running. I’ve had way too many close calls. Thinking I’ll just run with a pace group for a bit. Furtherest I’ve ever ran before is a half. So after 13.1 who knows how my body will hold up.

pdude816 days ago

I tend to drink Powerade every time offered and sport beans with water anytime it's not. I'm afraid to put any real food in the tank for long runs and for me sport beans are easier to open and consume compared to gels. Anecdotal information of course but good luck

Personally didn’t eat before any of the runs to ensure no stomach issues occured. Never missed a water stop.

Rose&Crown6 days ago

I sure hope lol. Not trying to set any records but for sure want to push myself as much as possible. My biggest concern is food during the run

Surferboy5676 days ago

Did first full as part of first Dopey this year you can do this. Challenging but doable.

IIRC the expo pass shows up a few days into the new year and you can see your bib # on there. But it doesn't tell you corral, you just kind of compare with others and try to deduce where you're at.

Rose&Crown7 days ago

When will be able to see that?

pdude817 days ago

Signed up for Dopey but untrained. Definitely doing the 5k with my son but I'm going to have to see how it goes from there. Did full Dopey in 2023 untrained but needed the extra time from corral C to finish the full. Not sure where they'll stick me this time.

Rteetz7 days ago

Not officially but you should be able to get a good guess of where you'll be based on previous years. Only caveat tho now is 2025 has an additional corral than the last few years did.
