Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend - The Dark Side

Picture
Today we're back in Florida with another great update from Walt Disney World.

​Today we're joining ​Renée as she runs 19.3 miles through the parks of Walt Disney World with some Storm Troopers, Droids and even Matt.

​The Star Wars half marathon weekend kicked off at WDW today! Tomorrow and Sunday we'll be journeying to the Dark Side.

While at the Star Wars Half expo, be sure to stop by the Cantina. You can get a Dole Whip in a Chewbacca stein!

I don't think I've ever seen this much as far as snacks and drinks at a RunDisney expo.

 think this is my favorite shirt at the Star Wars Half expo.

​We'll be up early the next 2 days for the Dark Side Challenge. Good luck to all running, and stay hydrated!

​Star Wars themed costumes are always popular among the runners. I've already spotted a few Matts this morning.

​See you in 6.2 miles!

​Finished! One race down, one more to go.

​I don't think I've ever seen wait times posted for the characters. Great to see this addition!

​We're back for another early morning run. It's time for the Star Wars Half Marathon! 
Picture
​The first runners are on their way! May The Force be with us all to conquer the Dark Side Challenge
Picture
I always look forward to seeing the creative Star Wars costumes and shirts along the course. 

Editors Note: For some reason this picture and tweet blew up on Twitter on Sunday and we have no idea why. It's certainly clever, and we always love a good Pun. Guess sometimes you never know what people are going to enjoy.

​Running through Disney's Hollywood Studios. What's up DCA? =)

Finish line and medals at Epcot!

Wait times if you wanted to meet a character after the race.

​Celebrating finishing the Dark Side Challenge with a cold beer. Congrats to all who participated. Cheers!
