    First addition to the list beyond the 25 listed on the BAA website is the Walt Disney World Marathon. I’ll be adding screen captures along the lines of what’s posted here, though I’ll always be including disclaimers to double-check the latest status on the race website before actually signing up. Suggestions for additional races welcome as comments!
