Marathon Weekend 2023

[The Expert]

Disers.....What other multi-state HM's are you aware of?

The Bear Lake Trifecta will get you Utah, Idaho and Wyoming in three consecutive days, but they are three separate races. There are full and half options for each race.

Yes, I live in suburban Chicago and have run around a dozen HMs in Illinois.

I was thinking about the Urban Bourbon HM in Louisville which crosses a bridge over to Indiana but I have done Indiana and Kentucky multiple times as well. I think there is a Minnesota/North Dakota HM in Fargo so perhaps I can check off two states in that one.

There is also a HM (or maybe just a M) that starts in Detroit and goes into Canada....two countries in one race. When my daughter lived in Germany there was a local HM that ran through three countries; Germany, Switzerland, and France.

Disers.....What other multi-state HM's are you aware of?

Fargo is a great race (at least the marathon is)! Great crowd support for a medium sized race.

Not a single race, but I know a few people that have done the Quad Keyah in the Four Corners area with a half marathon in each state in four days.

The Lake Tahoe Marathon series has a full that crosses the CA-NV border. They have 3 fulls, 3 halfs (you can do any combination of any of them), and an option to do the entire 72mile loop in one go (also relay options plus a 10K and a 5K). The views are gorgeous; unfortunately, each of the halfs are only in one state at a time.

Got to cross off NV with one of the halfs and convinced my family to do the 5K together (they encourage costumes).

Good Morning runDisney All-Stars! I hope the week has treated you well. Here is this week’s SAFD Question: What is your favorite Disney treat?

My Answer: I love treats, but both my daughters have Celiac so this limits the kinds of things we can have based on what is in it and how it is served. But Dole Whip is safe, my family loves it and it is so refreshing on a hot day. So my favorite is the Dole Whip Float, but a close second would be the Mickey Premium Bar.

 

[princesspirateandrunner]

SAFD: I agree, Dole Whip is my favorite Disney treat.

 

[FFigawi]

SAFD: the Grand Marnier ice cream martini at L’Artisan des Glaces in Epcot

 

[DisneyParrothead]

I second the Grand Mariner slushie. It’s so good on a hot day in EPCOT. Can’t go wrong with a Dole whip either. After the 10k at MW this year I got a Mickey cinnamon roll.

 

[Barca33Runner]

SAFD: Hard to stick to one, so I won’t.

MK-Almost all of my favorite things in MK are treats. Nutella and Fruit Waffle, Peter Pan float, and Gaston’s Cinnamon Roll.

Epcot-Palmier from Les Halles or caramel apple oatmeal cookie from Karamell-Küche. Also really enjoy the capirotada de chocolate from the Mexico booth at Food and Wine festival.

HS-It used to be better, but I still enjoy the carrot cake cookie. I’d also prefer not to be forced to endure Starbucks to get it.

Animal Kingdom-I know it’s basic and I can get it at home but I love twist soft serve. I could have included it in any of the parks where it’s available (oddly MK is the only one where I haven’t had it). Getting a waffle cone from Anandapur Ice Cream Truck is a ritual for me in Animal Kingdom though. I don’t think I’ve ever been in AK without getting one.

I stuck with sweet treats, recognizing that treats can be savory would open a whole new can of worms.

 

[Cabius]

SAFD: Gotta be the dole whip!

(Though if the bobotie from Boma counts as a 'treat' then that's a close second.)

Dole whip, Gideon’s bake house, Mickey benights at POFQ

 

[WillRunForPizza]

SAFD: pretzels from Germany

 

[striker1064]

SAFD: Too many to name, but just about anything from Karamell-Küche fits the bill. Also a big fan of grabbing a giant Mickey chocolate chip cookie from the shop in the back of Animal Kingdom, whose name escapes me at the moment.

 

[Naomeri]

SAFD: I love the chocolate bundt cake from Cosmic Ray’s. Also, the celebration cupcakes with the cookies and cream frosting. It’s the simple things that make me happy

 

[The Expert]

SAFD: Dole Whip swirl float!

 

[Cabius]

SAFD: Too many to name, but just about anything from Karamell-Küche fits the bill. . .

Oh man, how could I forget about this monstrous delight...

A waffle cone of the Apple Cinnamon Crunch ice cream from L’Artisans des Glaces in France in Epcot

 

[MissLiss279]

SAFD:
The Wookie Cookie! and Carmel Popcorn from Karamell-Küche.

I also really like Dole Whips, but I haven’t had one the last few times I’ve been to WDW.

 

[Bree]

SAFD: My favorite snack is popcorn. Yeah, I know. So very boring, but I prefer salt over sugar

 

[Neon Cactus]

Hard to pick just one and it kind of varies by the day, but I keep coming back to the I Lava You dole whip float in MK. And the maple popcorn shake at the Flower and Garden Festival kiosk in Canada.

 

[GuinnessRunner]

SAFD: Everything Bar from the Roaring Forks at Wilderness Lodge (although they didn't have them last time ). Also good with chocolate covered caramel with sea salt from Germany or the peanut butter cookie from Main Street Confectionary. Ok who am I kidding, I am good with any of the treats!
