Hi Tammy!
Thank you for bringing your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
The
runDisney 10K races are great. I think a 10K is the perfect distance. It's more of a challenge than the 5K, but also less demanding (training-wise) than a longer race. Sometimes as a busy mom, it's hard to train properly for long-distance races.
Most of the runDisney 10K routes will take you on a fun loop through
Epcot. Running through the park before it is open feels very special. Watching the sunrise makes it even more magical!
The scenery of the park, combined with the Disney characters stationed along the course really make the miles fly by. Disney is the only place I intentionally slow down during a run. I want to savor it for as long as possible, and stopping for character photos is a "must-do" for me!
If you have a specific 10K you would like to learn more about, please let me know!
