Walt Disney World Half Marathon 2012

January 5-8, 2012 was the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend presented by CIGNA. On Saturday, January 7, me and several of my friends ran our first Half Marathon (13.1 miles) from Epcot to Magic Kingdom and back!

Of course there were lots of Disney characters and other exciting forms of entertainment along the way (also lots of Powerade!). Being my first half marathon, I was PRETTY nervous, but as you can see, had a wonderful time.

There's nothing quite like running through Cinderella Castle on a half marathon!

So I definitely recommend signing up yourself for one of the runDisney events. I'll be at the Disneyland Half Marathon in September! You can sign up for that race and any of the others at http://rundisney.com

Thanks for watching!

Great video Adam! I ran this race as well and your video does a great job capturing how amazing of an experience it truly is. My girlfriend and I are planning on going back next year to run it again with some friends. We might even try our hand at the Goofy. Thanks for posting this!
