GOOFY RACE-AND-A-HALF CHALLENGE
The Goofy Race-and-a-Half Challenge is 39.3 miles of the most grueling, challenging, entertaining and rewarding miles you will ever run. Designed by Disney World, the challenge itself is comprised of racing in the Disney World Half Marathon on Saturday and then the Disney World Marathon on Sunday, of a given annual Disney World Marathon Weekend.
Beginning on the outskirts of EPCOT, the 13.1-mile Disney World Half Marathon makes a leisurely run to, throughout and around Magic Kingdom and concludes with an entrance into EPCOT, around Planet Earth and out into the EPCOT parking lot.
As for the Disney World Marathon, the 26.2-mile route takes you from EPCOT and then to and through Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and Disney Hollywood Studios... eventually ending back for a grand celebration at EPCOT (click on the map on right for a more detailed viewing of the route).
All along both routes, Disney does a wonderful job of sprinkling Disney characters for photo opportunities - don't forget to bring a camera. For more detailed advice for your upcoming experience, refer to Tips and Advice.
