Walt Disney World Marathon 2007

Here is my compilation of photographs and video of the 2007 Walt Disney World Marathon in January 2007. Marathon runners run through all four parks starting at Epcot then the Magic Kingdom, them Animal Kingdom and the Disney MGM Studios before finishing back at Epcot.

I ran the marathon in aide of the MS Society and was able to raise £800 (around $1600).

During training for the event I injured both my knees and needed physiotherapy on them, I thought that everything was ok by the time of the race but at around the 10 mile mark I started to feel the pain so gradually got slower and slower the more I ran.

I was able to finish but with a lot slower time than I would have liked, I was aiming for a sub 5 hour time but ended up finishing in 6 hours and 23 minutes.

The editing job is not up to my usual standard but I was severely limited with the photography and video footage I had.

This originally had the audio of THE HEAT IS ON by GLENN FREY, but due to copyright issues Youtube made me remove it, so now it is silent, sorry.

Knee pain at 10 miles is not good, maybe he should consider a new running technique, but 10 miles isn't far enough to acquire pain like that, people should really consider giving themselves a realistic time goal to get fit before a Marathon, but well done to him anyway, he is the man, and keep it up, just don't kill yourself.

Congrats on doing the WDW marathon, we are big fans of Florida and go there as often as possible, I have watched all your videos before and they actually inspired me to try my hand at making my own (now on this site) great achievment with the marathon though, must have been an awesome feeling to cross that finishing line.
