I ran the Goofy Challenge in 2009 and then the Inaugural Dopey Challenge in 2014. I wish I had the $$ to do this one every year, but Disney keeps hiking up the prices. Very well organized events, course support is awesome including aid stations and the cheering crowds. Yes, you have to get up super early to catch the bus from resorts to start line but it's worth it. Courses are flat, weave in & out of the parks, and always entertaining. Huge field of runners, utilizing the entire alphabet for wave starts at the beginning of nearly every race, but the waves help relieve the bottleneck effect. Only 4 star rating due to price.

I do the Goofy race. I run the Half Marathon on Saturday and the full marathon on Sunday. Nothing else like it.
