I'll be running the 2010 and it will be my first as well. GREAT video!! This marathon looks so much more fun and entertaining than most, hopefully it will help me keep my mind off the crazy arctic blast we're having!! And the fact that I had to get up at... what, 2:45 AM??? AUGH!!
I have used various web cams, video cams and digital cameras for races such as these. Two things you want to consider: (1) Side Pouch - Be sure to have a side pouch or fanny pack in which to store the camera while you run and (2) be sure to use a camera that you are not worried about breaking or losing - there is a lot that can happen in a race like this one. Try the Canon Powershot camera with at least a 10-megapixel resolution. Good luck!
Success to you in your first marathon! It is an exciting race and the video doesn't do it full justice. I'll be running my 4th and final Goofy Challenge in 2010 and will taping all along the way - be looking for the video after the race!
great video. i ran in this one as well. i was about 15 min behind you. This video is amazing. thanks for posting it. it was my first marathon and i ran by myself. Your video captures it perfect and i get the chills every time i watch it.
Be sure to bring at least a small disposable camera as you will want to get a few snapshots with the Disneyworld characters on the course.
As you start heading back to EPCOT on the tail end of your half marathon, be sure to save enough energy to get up and down the three rolling hills leading into EPCOT. The final downtown hill approach into EPCOT will be epic for you... raise your arms and smile as you cross the finish line of the Happiest Race in the World.
Your two videos from here and anaheim 2008 are some of the best event videos ive seen. I was about 20 minutes behind you in the anaheim vid and I think you did an awesome job capturing the event.
This video (and a few others) is what i'm gonna use to stay motivated while training this year! ran halfs but never a full....but i'm registered for 2010!can't wait to see those fireworks in person!
Great Video!! Nicely done and great music. One of my teammates is at the very end. She was volunteering near Yacht and beach club and had the BRIGHT yello/lime green shirt on that had WISH on it.
Lee, once again, excellent job. Loved the video, really captured the essence of the event. That was my third Goofy as well and I'm already registered for next year's race. My daughter will be doing the new Princes Half Marathon in March. She turns 14 a week prior to the race making her the youngest legal runner for that race. Too bad you won't be there recording. Take care and good luck! Ray

Great Video! I just signed up for the Goofy Challenge Myself. Maybe a little ambitious since I haven't ran my first marathon yet, but oh well. =)
