WHAT IS RUNDISNEY?
Let’s start with the basics, what exactly is runDisney? These events started more than 30 years ago at Walt Disney World, and since then many races have been added like the coast to coast challenges and even virtual races!
Running might be hard but there are other aspects that runDisney races offer that you won’t be able to find anywhere else, for example, running while being immerse in the magic of Disney? Passing iconic landmarks in each park and even seeing your favorite Disney characters and finding fun photo ops! You can even have some extra fun and dress up like your favorite characters.
TRAINING
Now, training is highly recommended for a better experience, it doesn’t matter if you are running a 5k, 10k, half or full marathon, training is very important. Thankfully, runDisney has free resources to help you reach your goals. Head over to the runDisney website to find Jeff Galloway training programs or to train with fun programs inspired by your favorite Disney movies and songs!
RUNDISNEY STYLE
Like i mentioned before, dressing up is another fun perk of these races, since each runDisney event is themed to different movies and characters, you can have fun Disney bounding as your favorite ones! Just make sure to check the runDisney costume guidelines to ensure your attire meets the requirements.
RUNDISNEY HEALTH & FITNESS EXPO
You can’t miss the runDisney Health & Fitness Expo that is available during each event and offers race exclusive merchandise to commemorate your big accomplishment! The Expo is a free-to-the-public event that not only race participants can enjoy but also spectators and health and wellness enthusiasts.
POST-RACE CELEBRATION
You did it! You finish your race, so now it’s time to celebrate like only Disney can offer, take pictures with your medal, relax by the pool at the resorts, enjoy a well earned meal at your favorite restaurant or hit your favorite park! The options are endless at the most magical place on Earth.
