Hi all!
I'm hoping to do my first Disney 5k in 2025 and was curious- for the 5K only, do you personally prefer Marathon Weekend or Princess Half, just in terms of overall vibe and experience?
I ran 5Ks as a teen and although I was never a speedy runner, I always had fun and loved the whole atmosphere. I always wanted to run at Disney, but had an injury that led to a chronic pain condition-- and when I stopped running, I stopped considering events for over a decade... Luckily, walking has never been an issue. Recently, I tried doing a a few virtual 5ks (and the on-your-own Castaway Cay 5k) and was able to keep my pace under 50 minutes... so I've decided to go for it and bring myself up to speed on everything runDisney! I know I still have months to decide but I want to be ready for registration day, and, honestly, just excited to be taking this step.
Would love to hear from you!
