This year’s marathon is a throwback to the 90’s! Runners will enjoy seeing retro themes and medals all throughout the event.
10K Characters
One of the biggest treats during a runDisney weekend is the chance to meet rare characters that are not normally available in the parks For example, lots of characters were hanging out greeting runners for the 10k!
If you were a 90’s kid, you would have felt like you were in the middle of a Disney Afternoon! Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers and Ducktales characters were the highlights of the event. You can see them all in Maggie’s post here.
