Dumbo Double Dare!! - The DIS Discussion Forums

riggins · 12-19-2012, 03:46 PM

In case you missed it, runDisney announced a 10k the day before the Disneyland half and has added a 2-day event called the Dumbo Double Dare (like the Goofy, only shorter). Anyone else happy dancing about this?? I am sooooo excited. I was debating about going to CA to get a Coast to Coast this year, but this has sealed the deal. Now I really have to start saving some money!!

I'm so excited for this! I have to figure out how to make this work. I thought $175 was a lot for a half and now I'm considering $280 for a 10k and a half!

thndrmatt · 12-19-2012, 04:05 PM

Ohhhhh snap.

If you look at the schedule, it actually looks possible to run the 5k, 10k, and half marathon... Innnnnnteresting.

So in theory, one could end up with 5 medals for the weekend? The 5K, 10K, 1/2 marathon, Dumbo Double and Coast to Coast? Sounds fun!!!!

Reep · 12-19-2012, 04:26 PM

My immediate dilemma is that I have already committed to running the 5k with my young daughters. I want to do that, but am not sure I can get back to the start line in time for the 10k. I may have to run the first 2/3 with them and then leave them with my wife in order to make the 10k start. My youngest just did a 2-miler in 30 minutes, so we are really close to a 45 min 5k, which is exactly the difference in the two start times.

I really would like to do this !!!! I wonder what the time would be since I our little mouseketeer just loves running in the kids race. And we can't miss the kids race.

5:30 for the 5k, 6:15 for the 10k. But, historically, the end of the 5k has not been all that close to the start of the half, which is where I would assume they will start the 10k.

JCH · 12-19-2012, 04:36 PM

I am already trying to price out how much this would cost me...I would probably have to forego several other races to make it happen in my yearly race budget...hmmm....

TigerTown · 12-19-2012, 04:42 PM

I'm really excited about this as well. I was already planning on running the Disneyland Half and the Wine & Dine to get my Coast to Coast medal. Now I'm going to have to ramp up the training for the Dumbo Double Dare! I can't wait!

helloirishkitty · 12-19-2012, 04:49 PM

I am so excited for this!!

I was hemming and hawing about gettnig my C2C this year but the Dumbo Double Dare is definitely something I cannot miss. I will be skipping Tower of Terror this year to do it, but I'm willing to make the sacrifice as I don't think I'll ever be able to do Goofy!

Rupert B Puppenstein · 12-19-2012, 06:04 PM

I think it is a great idea! I will already have my C2C with the Tinker Bell, but it would be awesome to get four medals that weekend. Although it is pricey, everything at Disney is. I really wish you could use gift cards or Disney Rewards points for registration fees.

sissy_ib · 12-19-2012, 06:09 PM

I was initially planing on doing the DL half, then the Inaugural Nike Woman's Half in D.C. came up and I figured I could get a C2C any year. Now I am thinking I need to try to do this one...

Terapin · 12-19-2012, 06:17 PM

I want to know: if you do Goofy and the Dumbo in the same year, do you get to call yourself a A Big Goof?

I'm with you. I was surprised at the increased cost for the 1/2 marathon over last year, knowing it will still sell out. I don't think I have Goofy in me, but this is a goal I can plan for. Fun!!!

Is the C2C the same every year? I already got mine this year, but thinking I need to do this race now to....in addition to marathon weekend.
