I only run in the ultra super short marathons, which are just over 500 yards. In cold weather I put on up to 30 layers of socks.

I can’t believe you are going to call people in purple shirts waddlers! They raised money for cancer research, and trained for the marathon! You don’t have to be the best runner to complete a marathon! I was one in a purple shirt, and finished under 4 hours! Thank you very much!

Cut the ends off of long tube socks and use them for gloves. Pull them down over yor fingers and hold them in your palm When it gets too warm just roll up the socks.

Good advise, but at Disney you will have to sit in the staging parking lot for 2+ hours before the start, that’s the worst part… good luck everyone. Bring disposable blankets, trust me.

Al, the “purple shirts” are only a factor if you are a slowwwww runner, as most of them will finish in 4+ hours. If you dont like it then run faster. Bwa-ha-ha!
