Anyone doing the Expedition Everest Challenge?

I REALLY want to do this and I can't find a partner! I know I'd never do it solo. I have one friend who will be in WDW at that same time already so I am very hopeful I can convince her to run with me. She's never done a race before so this would be a fun way to start!

I've never done a Disney race either, which I know will be much better than anything ordinary. Our family vacation is in August this year so I'd be flying down solo to run, which is a definite first for me!

Here is a link about it, for those who haven't heard:

I would love to do it, as well! But, my plane lands at 1:30pm, on the 27th. Do you think I'd have time to get to the race? We're using DME, which sometimes takes a little longer. My DH will definitely not run with me, but I think it sounds like a lot of fun!

I think you would have enough time! And I PMd you back but I forgot to mention that even if the other person can do the race, you should still register as a single and then come along with us! We could just be an unofficial team of 3!

I would love to do this also, if anyone else needs a partner.! It will be great training for the 1/2 marathon.
My only problem is that I will be there with my boys. I might check into putting them in a childcare program for the evening.
