And, the Dopey Challenge is for all four races! Our legs are hurting just thinking about running that much in one thinking, but it’s an awesome accomplishment.

And finally, there is the Coast to Coast Race Challenge. You don’t have to register for this, but you can complete this challenge by doing the half marathon at Disneyland’s Half Marathon Weekend and a qualifying race (at least a 10-miler) in Disney World.

If you can’t make it to Disney World for the races, don’t worry! You can register for the virtual races instead and do them at home.
