Brittany Charboneau Becomes First Runner to Win All Four Marathon Weekend Races
WOW! The results are in and we have had a record-breaking Marathon Weekend in 2021!
Disney fans from all over the globe descended on Walt Disney World this weekend for a handful of races marking the return of the Marathon after the event was held virtually last year due to the pandemic.
The big story is that Brittany Charboneau, from Denver, made history by becoming the first runner in the events history to win all four races known as the Dopey Challenge.
Best of all, she fully embraced the spirit of the races dressing as a host of Disney characters including Elsa from Frozen for the 5K and Bing Bong from Inside Out for the 10k.
Check out the official tweet from WFTV highlighting Brittany’s accomplishments!

During the half marathon we’re also told that Charboneau dressed up as Joy from Inside Out and she finished up today’s Marathon dressed as the one-and-only queen of mean- Cruella de Vil!

Charboneau told WFTV, βIt was so hard, Iβm not even going to lie, I had to work for it. There were some really strong women out there. It was a Dopey challenge for a reason.β
Among the men, Vanilson Neves crossed the finish line in just 2 hours and 30 minutes. The Brazilian ran at an average speed of 5 minutes and 45 seconds per mile.
Congratulations Brittany, Vanilson and all of the awesome participants of this weekend’s runDisney events!
