I completed the Dopey, last day being the marathon. The marathon race started at 4:30am with corrals are A-G starting in Epcot. Its take about a hour to get everyone started. So, it is crowded. You need to get to the race at least an hour or more ahead of race start. This race is for the experience, many character stops, running through all 4 parks, and rode on Everest (a rollercoaster). Absolutely, the best for a Disney fan. Plenty of fuel (sports beans, bananas, & biscuit) provided. Water and Powerade on the course. You really can’t get a flatter course. It was a breeze. Wear Disney shirts, costumes, gear.. the more you get into the spirit, the more you will enjoy. The only challenge is stopping and starting again for character photo ops. This is not how I train, so starting again in the double digits took a bit to getting back to my race speed. These are optional stops, but I wanted the full experience.
Duke City Marathon
Flat course. Lacking course essentials

Overall, the full marathon race was fine. It is an out & back. A little repetitive on the way back. No corrals at the start. You run approx.. 2 miles downtown/city before running along the paved trail next to the Rio Grande. You don’t get to see the river much, but the trees were beautiful. Also, you do get to see Hot Air Balloons in the distance. Even though it is a flat course approx.. between miles 12-14 it is rolling hills, much more than I excepted. The city section of the race was blocked off, but the paved trail was open for others use. We only incurred one upset cyclist. Otherwise, everyone not in the race was pretty nice. Crowd support is pretty low. There were about 500 full marathoners. More people completed the half.
Fuel/Water: They had plenty of water/Gatorade stations. However, for anyone that plans to finish in over 5 hours a couple of their water/Gatorade stations were bone dry. I suggest bringing your own water. Also, have a post race fuel plan. They had a slice of bread and an apple. We were staying at the DoubleTree a block away from the start & finish, so we were able to grab food and drinks.
Bathrooms: Porta potties around miles 0, 2, 6, 20 & 24. Many men taking a break in the bushes along the paved trail since there is a long gap between 6 and 20.
I completed as a training marathon. I was just out there to have a good time. I would suggest this course for half marathoners.

Organized Course with a Stadium Run

I would recommend the full marathon course. It is an out and back where you get to see different parts of Denver, amusement park, through Broncos stadium, Sloan’s Lake, Art campus, and downtown. Running the section along Colfax does get a bit boring. The 2024 did end up being much hotter than previous years. But, there was plenty of water and gel packs provided. I just slowed down and even walked to prevent overheating. Not a lot of shade on this course, there are small sections of the lake, a neighborhood, and downtown that offer some relief. Also, if you want to use a flush toilet during the race you can make a pit stop within the stadium (it is not listed, but I was able to access pretty easily). The crowd support after downtown into City Park was wonderful. Lots of cheering individuals. Overall, happy with this course and the support.
