The Start of Something New | runDisney — 2 Foolish Mortals

First and foremost, welcome to the runDisney side of the 2 Foolish Mortals website. Here we are going to dive into what runDisney is, what they offer, and what you can get out of the experience.

Let’s do it!

If you didn’t guess this already runDisney is all about running and, of course, having fun. It’s a part of Disney that hosts running races with distances ranging from beginner 5Ks all the way up to a marathon. All of the events are themed around Disney ranging from the upcoming Disney Princesses Half Marathon to the Wickedly Delicious Wine and Dine Half Marathon which takes place in November. You can check out all the events listed here.

All on site race routes differ, but one thing’s for sure: you’ll be running through one of the iconic Walt Disney World theme parks for your race. Also, did I mention that during the events you’ll have the opportunity to meet and take pictures with some of your favorite Disney characters?

Now, not everyone [myself included] can get to Disney as often as they’d like; be it to vacation or participate in races. Thankfully Disney has us covered by putting on Virtual Races. They work in the same fashion as any other race, you sign up then you get access to digital goodies to print like a Digital Bib, Digital Race Tool Kit featuring printable mile markers, Goody Bag (every race is different), and if you one you runs with music they also include a Virtual Playlist. Once your ready to run your race you race either run on a treadmill or outdoors the choice is yours and you upload your times to Disney for completion. Once they have received and confirmed your submission then your sent your awards of medal(s) and shirt [if applicable] for your event.

Now for some of us running is apart of our everyday lives, but for the rest who just aren’t sure where to start Disney actually offers great information and training plans from runDisney trainer Jeff Galloway.
