With WDW Marathon Weekend nearly upon us, we celebrate by visiting with runDisney legend Alan Young and his wife Grace. Not only is Alan a perfect WDW marathoner, he also completed the only Disneyland marathon as well as the LA marathon which, as he explains, was a requirement for Orange County residents who wanted to run the marathon at DL. Injury prevented Grace from being perfect, but she's completed an amazing 27 WDW marathons and will join Alan in 2024.
And speaking of celebrations, it's time for all of our Rise and Run friends to stand up and take a bow as we go through the Marathon Weekend Roll Call. There are more than 350 names on the list this year!
We wrap things up with a Rise and Run tradition. The Impossible Dream from The Man of La Mancha speaks to the challenges of this weekend. We're fortunate to, for the second year, have our friend Mark with us to sing this incredibly motivational song.
So whether you're running with us or cheering from the sidelines, this episode is a testament to the joy, the struggle, and the unity that defines the runDisney community. We packed this episode with celebrations, strategies, and stories that resonate with every runner's heart. Join us, and let's embrace the magic together.
