Running Like A Princess

Running Belle  

My first runDisney race was in 2008, running both the 5K Mickey Family Safari and Donald's ½ marathon at the WDW Marathon weekend. I was very serious in preparation, focused and nervous about the race... I had no idea what to expect.  I never thought about what to wear; about having fun; or about stopping to get my picture made with Mary Poppins or at Cinderella's Castle.

Then I showed up for the race, and I saw and learned so much from that one weekend, than could I ever could have imagined.

Probably the most crucial thing I learned about runDisney was that looking “the part” was as just as important as actually running. Couples were dressed as Mickey and Minnie, flamingos, princesses, and many different variations of Goofy! Even if you are an elite runner, you can dress “the part” and have fun during the race, and bask in the pixie dust of a runDisney event!!
