  1. no reason to why they are eliminating it? I would have really liked to have done the TOT 13K but I cannot do it this year! That stinks!

    I also ran the National Kidney Foundation 5K which ran through Epcot in March 2008 and think that was by FAR my favorite 5K I have ever ran. They seem to have dropped that race as well.

    What's up with Disney dropping races?

  2. Yeah – I was really bummed when Danskin said they had to cancel the Triathlon in Disneyland this year… first they postponed it and then said they were canceling, but at least I understand that one. No place to swim! But why drop after hours races that don't really cost them much to do?

  3. Well I did the first TOT 13k as my first long race. My kids did this one,and our friends from the UK did it too. Last year did the taste. I wonder what's next.
