The weekend includes the half marathon on Jan. 12, 2013, and the marathon Jan. 13. Those who are especially ambitious can choose to run the Goofy’s Race and a Half Challenge, in which participants complete the half marathon on Saturday and the marathon on Sunday to qualify for Goofy’s Race and a Half Challenge medal.
This year's marathon course will include not only all four parks, as it normally does, but adds the Walt Disney World Speedway and Champion Stadium ballpark at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.
