So, my wife ran/walked (long story, maybe for another post) the Gate River Run in Jacksonville, FL, today. When she registered, yesterday, she learned about Disney's Endurance Series of races. We were familiar with the Disney Marathon and the Florida 1/2 Ironman, but we learned about a couple others from the Endurance series rep at sign-in, including a couple that I think we may do.

The first is an inaugural event called Expedition Everest Challenge on September 27, 2008 and takes place in Disney's Animal Kingdom. It involves obstacles and a scavenger hunt! The rep also mentioned that the medal is one of the biggest he's ever seen for a Disney event! Awesome!

The other is the Muddy Buddy event that is a two sport event -- biking and running. It's not really a duathlon, as it is a team race where you will be switching between riding and running with a partner throughout the race, as you maneuver through various "dirty" obstacles. This one's on May 10th.

I can't wait to give these a shot and report back!
