The 2010 Disney World Marathon proved to hold its own against the historic and snowy Disney World Half Marathon the day prior. Temperatures at the start of the race were approximately 29 degrees. Water stations would feel the full force of this phenomenon as excess water dumped on the race route by runners would instantly freeze, as well as water sitting too long in water station cups.
