Neely Gracey Beats Entire Men’s and Women’s Fields to Win the 2023 Princess Half Marathon!
Neely Gracey is the epitome of strength and endurance! Grace overtook the entire men’s and women’s fields to win the WDW Princess Half Marathon on February 26th, 2023.
Neely is only the third woman in runDisney history to win a half marathon race! Not only did she run the fastest time at the half, but she also ran the 10k the morning before.
Gracey spoke about the race after her victory and recounted the moment she overtook the leading female, and finally the leading male to pull ahead to victory.
“I passed the top female at that point when we were in Magic Kingdom and then I just kind of kept rolling after that…I really didn’t get past the top male until we were about less than half a mile out from the finish line. So, it really all just happened in the last two minutes of the race.’’
Talk about coming down to the wire! Congratulations to Neely on an outstanding performance during her magical 13.1 mile victory!
