Ran this race in 2023. Being from Florida I enjoyed the 70 degree weather and flat course. This is a course you can PR on. It's not a course for much picture taking with off the road side shows but a solid race route with plenty of water stations. Run very well no issue's with bib pickup and a fun afterparty.

I thought this was a well run event. It wasn't overcrowded and plenty of space park/find the event/ and to start. The course itself is good but also challenging with 2 bridge inclines at mile 7 and, the most challenging, mile 12. Being from Florida elevation isn't my strong point. The course itself had plenty of room to run with water stations. I wouldn't go to say the water stations are big (mainly like you would see on a 5k) but they did the job. I don't care about the scenery given I was pushing myself but I would think if your not from here the bridges offer some nice views. I just liked how small and well run it was with good pacers with a challenge of the bridge at the end.

Run Disney is nice but they over sell bibs. If you are a serious runner this event isn't for you. For one its very crowded so you will do a lot of dodging through out the event. Also since they do have a lot of characters and scenery through out the course you will have a lot of people just randomly stop or dart across in front of you which is frustrating. If you don't have a corral time just forget about signing up for it or you will be in the back with a massive amount of people walking. The course has a lot of narrow points and turns. Again for a runner who is serious about a certain time this is not the event for you. IF you are running to have a good time, take pictures, and see Disney from another standpoint than you will love the event through and through.

Great local race. They now have a North and South end that helps with the crowds (North a little more hills than South). Last time I ran this I was late and started and the very back but within the first miles I was able to make it around a lot of people and to open running. Great event and post race party. This is true running in Florida for us which is along the pretty rivers in our area. But make sure to be early or you will be starting in the back like me.

I will say ONLY sign up for this race if you have a Corral time. If you don't DO NOT sign up for this or you will be in the very back with thousands of people to go around. With that said I was in the correct corral and place with a pacing group I enjoyed. We went through basically all of Disney which was cool. A lot of twist and turns though which might slow down your time if your looking for a certain number. Again only do this though if you have a time to submit
