The Disney Deads are an internet-based group of running and walking enthusiasts who love distance events, like the marathon, and who also love going to Walt Disney World. Since 1994, Disney has hosted a full marathon; a half marathon was added in 1997 and most recently in 2006, the "Goofy Challenge" was added, testing participants to complete both the full and half marathons in 2 days time. We're known as "deads" as the group is associated with the internet-based Dead Runners Society running group. Throughout the year, we converse through an email-based list server discussing everything from training and racing to park hopping and hidden Mickeys. The group consists of individuals who compete at Boston every year to competitive race walkers, to runners and walkers of every ability. Everyone is welcome regardless of goals or level of experience. The group is international in its make up including runners/walkers from many US states as well as other countries around the globe. Many have become close friends and will gather together at races other than Disney. The comraderie usually evolves into a great party wherever they get together as a group. |
