Disney half marathon in January 2013

Started planning for my trip for the half marathon at WDW, so excited! While I have been to WDW many times this is my first half marathon. Has anyone participated in this event or have any tips for visiting during this event?

I have not done this race, but I have done many other "Run Disney" events (Princess, Wine and Dine, Tinker Bell, Disneyland). My best advice is to drink a lot of water the day before and if you are going to one of the parks, make sure you take time to sit and relax in the shade. After the races, I've always gone back to my hotel to shower and go for a quick swim. I usually go to a park later on. The walking around seems to make me not so sore the next day (usually my travel day back home). Good luck and have fun!
