Disneyland Half & Dumbo Double Dare Race Weekend Recap Share

September 12, 2013 by Julie @RunWalkRepeat


One of my favorite aspects of my blog has been getting to know  some great running bloggers.  Labor Day Weekend I enjoyed following via social media along with many of  my friends running the runDisney Disneyland Half Marathon and Dumbo Double Dare Challenge.

I love race recaps and thought I would feature some of my friends here so you could enjoy them too!

One race weekend. Five perspectives.

First up is DisBroad Patty.  Her trip was a true family affair.  Between the kids races, the 5k, the 10k and the Half…..her family was represented in each race – even Grandma!

 
Her weekend report is in 5 parts – yeah I know, but truly a fun filled family affair:

1. Patty Dumbo Double Dare Race Recap Part 1 – Disneyland 10k
2. Patty Dumbo Double Dare Race Recap Part 2 – Kids Races
3. Patty Dumbo Double Dare Race Report Part 3- Disneyland Half
4. Patty Dumbo Double Dare Race Report Part 4 – Disneyland Half (continued)
5. Patty Mad Mad Weekend – Disneyland Half Recap

Next up, DisBroad Groupie Kristen from “The Smith Summary“.

She went without the kids – but with her husband and stayed off site directly across the street from Disneyland Park entrances!  It was her birthday too.

Third, is Brandi  from “Girl on The Run” whom I know from a few Facebook Running groups and I have had the pleasure of seeing her last at the ATL Peachtree Road Race as a part of Team Duck!

AND Last but not least, my friend Ashley from “The Pavement Princess.”  I only know her only from online…but soon we are determined to meet at race in real life.

Nice Disney California Adventure shot!

She has been a huge support and inspiration to me so of course I had to keep up with her!

So there you have it….one race weekend, from the perspective of five participants.  Hope you enjoy all the stories and photos as much as I did.  I really want to go to Disneyland now to run a race!

Do you like to read race reports as much as I do?  Are you thinking of doing a race at Disneyland?

    I will admit, I don’t read race reports for races I’m not doing. Purely selfish, I’m so jealous!! But if I’m doing the race, I read race reports from previous years, it gets me excited and hyped up for what I have to look forward to!
