Goofy Marathon- how to get in?

So, the plan is to do the Goofy Marathon in January with Tracy. The plan though got complicated as the race is closed. Now, I could go to the dark side and get a purple entry (I swear to god I would wear the outfit). Or, I could pick another charity and pay about $1000 to get into the race - or just spend about $1000 on a travel package I would not need…What would you all do?

Why don’t you guys do a trail race and spare me the sight of you in purple?

I need to gain about 25lbs before I can properly fit in purple

Are you looking to do just the marathon or the full plus half (The Goofy Challenge)? If just the full, I think AT Children’s Project has openings and is a decent way to go. I did it last year after waiting too long for the open registration.

If this matters to you, I think ATCP must have less overhead compared to TNT-- they do not provide transportation and lodging. Your $600 (last year it was only $400) gets you a race entry, a couple shirts, and a meal. $500 is tax-deductible.

Don’t worry he’ll never make it to the start. Race starts at 6AM.

“The start of the race is at 6:00 a.m., runners should plan to arrive at Epcot® by 4:00 a.m.”

He’ll still be in bed…
