I've only been in a park during a race as a runner for Princess Weekend races, but I think the only potential impact on a park guest during a race would be blocked walkways in certain areas. For example, the Princess half marathon ends in Epcot and the park has been open at that time (this may not be true for everyone but I'm not fast lol). I've loved it from a runner's perspective because you get cheers and applause from the crowds to help push you through that last leg of the race, but I'm not sure what (if any) inconvenience that would cause.Hi, im looking on the RunDisney page, and i dont see the schedule of the january 2022 marathon. Do you know which parks will be affected by the marathon??
Thanks

Except for the fact that there are no reservations available at HS until January 6th!The races generally have no impact at all in park attendance on any of the race days.

Still makes no sense. Why would HS be available between Xmas and NY, the busiest time of the season... And the only park to be full...That’s not due to the race weekend, though. It’s due to the fact that it’s so close to New Year’s and a lot of places are still on their winter breaks. Crowd levels at Marathon Weekend are driven by its proximity to New Year’s. The earlier it falls, the more crowded the parks are. This year is an “early” year for the race weekend, so we can expect higher crowds.
Agreed - it is not logical. Could be a system glitch, or it could just be random. But these races have never really impacted park attendance.Still makes no sense. Why would HS be available between Xmas and NY, the busiest time of the season... And the only park to be full...
Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Epcot will be affected by the marathon, not due to increased crowds, but rather due to some walkways that will be blocked off sometimes for runners to go through after those parks open at their usual time that day. They usually let a group of runners through, then a group of park guests, and then the runners and so forth. Some runners like to go on rides during the marathon if they are running through the park after it opens. The most likely candidates here are Expedition Everest (although it will be closed during the marathon in 2022), Tower of Terror, and Rock N Roller Coaster.Hi, im looking on the RunDisney page, and i dont see the schedule of the january 2022 marathon.

Yeah. Saw that. I think they had a site glitch.Interestingly, I went in and made park reservations from the 4th through the 12th for Marathon Weekend and all parks were showing available for all days. Not sure if that was due to my ticket type or if they opened up additional capacity.
Can’t make my park reservations for January because my AP expires December 18 and can’t renew for 3-4 more days (60 days out). So, no valid ticket, no park passes! Aggravated.
