I started running to help with losing weight for my wedding in 2009. I used C25K to train for a local 5K. My husband wanted to go to Disney for our honeymoon, and I hadn’t been there in almost 15 years. I joined a different message board to do some research and my favorite section of that board was the trip report section. One of my favorite trip reporters wrote a report about running the 2009 WDW Marathon and I was totally enthralled by it. The idea of running through the parks, stopping for character pictures and getting a sweet medal at the end seemed awesome…I didn’t know such a thing existed (the races were nowhere near as popular then and runDisney wasn’t called runDisney, it was the “Disney Endurance Series”).
Honeymoon was great and made me fall in love with Disney, and I started trying to train for longer races…a 10K, a 10-miler and then my first runDisney race, the 2011 Princess Half. If it weren’t for runDisney, I doubt I would have gone beyond a 10K. Really excited for 2025.
