ICYMI: Disney’s Marathon Weekend
This past weekend was runDisney’s 2022 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend. Runners and their cheering squads donned their EARidescent best and headed to the theme parks for courses that actually ran through The World’s Most Magical Celebration. The weekend was filled with memories and fairytale finishes.
Kicking things off was the Walt Disney World Half Marathon which celebrated its 25th Anniversary.
If you’ve been following along with us here at MickeyBlog this week you may have heard that it was also a weekend of firsts. The Dopey Challenge is the ultimate challenge for runners as they need to compete 48.6 miles in four consecutive days through 5K, 10K, Half and Full Marathon.
With an incredible finish on Sunday morning, Colorado runner Brittany Charboneau won the Walt Disney World Marathon which was her fourth win in the women’s division making her the first person in Disney history to have a four-race sweep in the Dopey Challenge’s nine year history.
This is so special. I mean, it’s once in a lifetime. I won’t get this ever again,’’ Charboneau said. “Honestly, I will treasure this forever. This is going to go down as one of the biggest highlights ever.’’
