Pro tips

  1. 01

    Flat, But Not Perfectly Flat

    The whole course gains only about 30 m, and it's flat, paved resort road. Those metres arrive as overpasses and cloverleaf ramps — short, so push them briefly and settle back into even pace.

    Dress for 21.6°C

    Typical race-day temperature is around 21.6°C, mild enough that a singlet and shorts are plenty. Don't overdress; you'll warm up once you're moving on the open roads.

    Decide on Character Stops

    The route runs through the Magic Kingdom with character sightings along the way. Pick your photo stops before the start — each one costs time and breaks your rhythm, so use them sparingly.

    Road Shoes Only

    Everything is paved: resort roads and park paths, no trails or gravel. Your normal road racing shoes are the right choice here.
