Top 3 Ways to Get Ready to Run Princess Race Weekend!
The Disney Princess Race Weekend kicks off with the opening of the Health and fitness Expo at Wide World of Sports tomorrow! With three races to run and medals to be awarded, it’s time to get into the running spirit. We’ve compiled the top 3 things to do to get yourself ready to race this weekend around Walt Disney World Resort, so let’s get going!
3- Gather Inspiration
In order to complete a race as epic as a runDisney challenge, you’ve got to dig deep and draw on your motivation.
Located in Epcot’s Morocco Pavilion, the Race Against the Sun exhibit highlights an incredible endurance challenge that makes any runDisney race seem easy…imagine that!
The Marathon of the Sands is the exhibit to check out if you’re a runner! The exhibit highlights a footrace that takes runners across the sweltering Sahara that has participants running legs of 19-50+ miles EACH DAY. You’ll get a glimpse of how they fuel and can see some of the real gear they take on this multi-day challenge. When your runDisney race gets tough, think about those amazing runners out in the Sahara for some extra motivation!
2- Get the Gear
You can’t run your best race without the best footwear. Fit2Run at Disney Springs is the one-stop shop for any race day essential you may have left behind.
You’ll be able to find accessories and apparel here too, but their main focus here is running shoes. With employees trained to assess your stride, a gigantic offering of running shoes, and a mini, in-store track for testing them out, every runner should take a pit stop in the Fit2Run store before race day!
1- Do Some Shopping
No runDisney race can begin without a trip to the Health and Fitness Expo at Wide World of Sports.
Every runner is required to pass through to pick up their race bibs and complimentary race shirts before they can gain access to their corrals…but the merchandise area here is NOT to be passed by!
This year, runDisney has given us a major sneak peak of the Princess-inspired apparel and accessories that will be for sale at the Expo!
Everything from branded athletic cut dry-fit material running shirts to long-sleeve spirit-style jerseys to mugs and magnets, you’ll be sure to find something epic to commemorate your achievements at this year’s Health and Fitness Expo!
