Jenn LE's thoughts:

The runDisney Enchanted 10K is part of the Princess 1/2 Marathon Weekend and part of the Glass Slipper Challenge (running a 10K and half marathon back to back). It's a fun, though crowded (11,000+ runners), race on Disney property.

T-SHIRTS/SWAG - Gorgeous, women's cut tech shirt. Beautiful, heavy medal on thick printed ribbon.

AID STATIONS - At least three stations offering water and PowerAde. Medical station with Tylenol, BioFreeze and Vaseline, as well as other med support.

COURSE SCENERY - The race starts before sunrise, so scenery is kind of limited in the beginning. The roadway gives way to Epcot World Showcase, then out to Disney's Boardwalk, before coming back into Epcot's Future World and out to the finish line. There were maybe six character stops along the way.

EXPO QUALITY - one of the biggest expos I've experienced. Packet pickup and limited official merchandise is located in one building, while vendors and the rest of the merchandise is in a second location. The expo also offers guest speakers throughout.

ELEVATION DIFFICULTY: The course is mostly flat. There was one hairpin turn, one graded cloverleaf incline and then several surfaces (asphalt and boardwalk).

PARKING/ACCESS: Shuttles are provided to runners staying at Disney hotels. The staging area is in a corner of Epcot's parking lot, so plenty of free parking space for people driving in. Monorail transportation is also available.

RACE MANAGEMENT: Disney always seems to do it right. While shoppers at the expo can be a bit over-enthusiastic, and there are tons of runners on the course, there is no shortage of support, volunteers and entertainment.

OTHER: Arrive early: the crowds are ridiculous, and security can get backed up. Gear check is simple and well-organized. Great photo opportunities before, during and after race. Post-race offerings include water and powerade, bananas and a food box of snacks. Medical staff is on alert at the finish line with wheelchairs, and is conveniently located for ice and other needs.
