Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend 2020 will celebrate the 15th Anniversary of Goofy’s Race & A Half Challenge. Runners compete in the 39.3-mile race (half-marathon and full marathon) and earn an additional Goofy Medal for the effort!
This first Goofy’s Race & a Half Challenge took place back in January of 2006 with over 3,000 participants during Marathon Weekend. Of those three thousand, 78 runners have completed the challenge every year for the entire past 14 years! Each “perfect” runner has successfully completed 14 half-marathons and 14 full marathons, totaling 550.2 miles!
The 2020 Marathon Weekend takes place from January 8-12th. Runners of all skill levels are invited to participate in a number of races and multi-race challenges throughout the weekend. runDisney 5K, 10K, Half, and Full-Marathon races are all run over the course of the weekend. Challenges include the aforementioned Goofy (Half and Full Marathons), and the Dopey Challenge (5k, 10k, Half and Full). There’s even the add-on of the Castaway Cay Challenge, that includes a 5k as part of the January 13th Bahamian sailing of the Disney Dream.
