The Disney World Marathon course
A flat course running through the Disney parks, with character photo stops that many runners deliberately build into their time. The very early start is the defining logistical feature: buses leave in the middle of the night.
Weather on race day
January in Florida is usually mild, but humidity can be high even in winter and a warm year is common.
What to train for
Flat and not especially demanding, so the training question is what you want out of it. If you plan to stop for photos, practice starting and restarting rather than continuous pacing.
