I have heard from someone talking to Disney Reps at the marathon weekend and another source, that the ToT will NOT have a 6.5K option. I guess they can fill it with more expensive entry fees from the 13K plus less stress with only 1 race course. I would expect them to change the pace requirements as well.
Wonder what else they will change???

Well, so much for me participating....
I'm sure if they make it 13K only, they'll put a pacing requirement that excludes walkers, like they had at one point in last years' event. (After no requirement, before the requirement they ended up with.)

I would expect a 15-16 min pace requirement.

That's kind of my guess, too. When I'd called about that last year, before they had any requirement, the woman told me if there was one, it would be 16, which I could just about do for a 6.5 without too much trouble (3.75 mph) but then they changed it to 15 when they had one, and although I would have been close on that for last years' 6.5 (but still over), that's a darn good clip to keep up for 13K without running.
