2025 Princess Half Marathon Weekend Recap
Princess Weekend attracts a vibrant community of runners, all drawn by the unique blend of fitness and fantasy that runDisney offers. The communal spirit is palpable as racegoers share stories and form connections, making each event feel like a family gathering. As Pamela, Taylor, Trina, and Joshua reminisce about the memorable experiences while navigating the racecourse, stopping for character photo ops, and the inevitable pre-race jitters that come with high-stakes performance in magical settings.
This episode doesn’t shy away from the challenges of race day either. We discuss the preparation that goes into each event, highlight the importance of training, and address common hurdles runners face. Our guests share their favorite training anecdotes, revealing how they approach their regimen in anticipation of the next race. From addressing the aches and pains that come with training to finding the right motivation, we explore what keeps us pushing forward. In recalling the thrills of running through the picturesque landscapes of the Disney parks, we also take a moment to reflect on the experiences that truly enhance our running journeys. The laughter shared during race weekend should not be understated, and funny moments, from costume malfunctions these include dressing up for the events, to the shared sense of joy that permeates the air at Disney.
The support from our listeners and community members fuels our journey, and we expressed gratitude for our patrons, whose contributions help us sustain the podcast.
