This was my second time running the Disney Marathon, and my 3rd Disney race weekend experience. What a delight!

If you stay on property transportation to and from the expo and the race is a breeze. It's so nice to have that part of logistics figured out for you.

The start/finish areas and aid stations are so well organized. The volunteers are some of the best! Always so happy and cheerful! The ability to run through the parks and see the characters makes this race unforgettable.

This year since it was the 25th anniversary all the runners got special edition Mickey Ears as well.

And, one of the unsung heroes of this race is the speed in which you finish and can get on a bus to head back to your hotel. For a race this size, to not have to walk a full mile+ to find transportation back is soooo nice after running a full Marathon.

I cannot recommend this race enough!
