Strap in, fellow runners, for a magical journey through the twists, turns, and hidden Mickey's of our Disneyland race weekend adventure! Your Rise and Run favorites—Bob, Jack, Lexi, John, and Alysha—are all here, along with birthday boy Abel, to recount the sweat, smiles, and the occasional stumble from this whimsical racing escapade. And in this week's Race Report, we've braved the elements, from the frosty grip of St. Louis to the sun-kissed pavements of Anaheim, each mile packed with stories to warm even the chilliest of race mornings. 

Join us as we navigate the highs and lows of runDisney's return to Disneyland, from the behind-the-scenes happenings at the expo to managing the mischief of gear check-in mishaps and corral chaos. We're not just running through the parks—we're also running through a gamut of emotions, as each of us shares personal victories and the lessons learned from organizational snafus that had us all scratching our heads. As we laugh about our wardrobe choices and the race characters who stole the show (or didn't show up at all), we celebrate the community spirit that keeps us lacing up our sneakers, even when the going gets tough.

We explore the future of runDisney events on the West Coast with suggestions for improvements, and we anticipate the next round of races with the infectious excitement only true runDisney fans can muster. So whether you're a seasoned marathoner or a casual park-walker, there's a place for you in our lively recap. Ready, set, podcast play!
