It’s now less than a month away from the Walt Disney World Marathon weekend 2012, and unlike the inaugural Tinkerbell Half Marathon at Disneyland, the Walt Disney World weekend still has a few available spots! If you’re a runner or are considering becoming a runner, Walt Disney World is a great place to start racing. The races are casual and you only have to keep up a 16 minute per mile pace, allowing a lot of walking if needed!
If you’re just starting running or thinking about running, make sure to check out my previous article, Starting from Scratch about how to even consider training for a race of any distance, whether 5k (3.1 miles) or going all the way to a full marathon (26.2). It may sound scary and intimidating, but running can be a very healthy and enjoyable activity for almost anyone! These races are also handicap friendly – offering an early start for those racing in the hand controlled wheelchairs.
As for Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend 2012, the races are almost filled, but still have a few spots. Here are the current openings:
- Walt Disney World Marathon – 96% Full
- Walt Disney World Marathon Relay – 94% Full
- Walt Disney World Half Marathon – 99% Full

Following just a month later is the Princess Half Marathon Weekend – training options and spots are still available!
