12/15/16: Marathon Map!
12/16/16: Waivers are up!
The 2017 Walt Disney World Marathon corrals and waivers are (almost) out! I’ll be adding the additional information as it comes along, but let’s be honest here, everyone is really just looking for those corrals.
If you are running in the big daddy event of runDisney events, then this is the information you’ve been looking for.
Why do I post it here when it’s clearly on rundisney.com?
A of all: Because I’m lazy & I think I can speak for many of us. I’m not a fan of rD’s website and the way information is laid out. So I grab it and put it here in one easy to scroll through spot. (side note- Does anyone else think runDisney’s site needs a major facelift? So 2011!)
Secondly: (yes, I did that on purpose) My blog won’t disappear after the race like some of runDisney’s information does.
When you are looking for some information next year, I’m your girl. I can tell you that some of my most popular blog posts are these types with corral information and event guides linked. I’m glad to see it helps someone out there.

2017 Walt Disney World Marathon Event Guide
Have logistics questions? They are probably answered here in the Event Guide.
Not covered in the event guide, but also great info to know: what characters were on the marathon course last year.
Once I was totally safe, I stopped. And also- GENIE!
2017 Walt Disney World Marathon Course Maps
Here’s the Marathon Map. There are some changes from 2016.
There’s an out and back in front of Animal Kingdom that wasn’t there before, and a little different entrance to AK as well. The biggest change is Hollywood Studios: you’ll enter by Tower of Terror and pretty much head back out the front gate. That’s it! Too much construction going on, it appears.
Patty Holliday has been running Disney since 2011. She knows just about every tip, trick, and hack there is to cover the runDisney Magical Miles at Disney World and Disneyland. She knows every mile isn’t *always* magical- but with training, tips, and a little bit of pixie dust, they can be a lot of fun! You can also find her at noguiltlife.com and noguiltfangirl.com
