Keep on Runnin:
- runDisney is known for their series of fun, themed, running events hosted at Disney Destinations, most famously at Walt Disney World and more sporadically (nowadays, anyway) at the Disneyland Resort.
- The events combine road races with special opportunities to run through the Disney Parks and see them in a whole new way.
- Character interactions along the way, DJs and special entertainment, and uniquely designed medals and race shirts make the events a big draw for Disney fans.
- The events also serve as a big party for runners, many of whom elect to wear fun costumes, including tiaras, tutus, capes, and full on cosplay in some situations.
