runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend

[Surferboy567]

Yes, stale would be a good descriptor.

Even with the same distances, runDisney is extremely far from stale. Every race weekend I have attended in person has such a unique atmosphere.

I have done plenty and it's not Disney that makes each run unique and different, it's the runners.

This is true to some extent. I keep running Disney for the people mostly but I also love the races themselves. I do appreciate course variation during certain weekends like wine & dine and springtime.

Stitch’s Ohana Challenge is the theme for Springtime Surprise 2024.

yup skipping this one again.

 

[DznyGrlSD]

ehhhhhhhhhh Stitch.

 

[Rose&Crown]

Also I guess the 10 miler is done?

 

[surfsupdon]

Not a huge Stitch fan, but I do enjoy that artwork style.

I'm just looking to get a picture with Pleakley or Gantu.

It's still there.

 

[Rteetz]

It's still there.

Yep, weekend format remains the same. 5K, 10K, 10-miler and challenge is all three.

 

[Rose&Crown]

Oh the challenge is different. Didn’t realize that.

The thing that I'm seeing in this video that I wasn't expecting is a path going through all 4 parks. Technically it could just be a 10k and half but I assume we're still having the 3 races.

I see what basically looks like an animated treasure map, which also interests me in case it means some sort of daytime scavenger hunt.

The runDisney blog post today specifically mentions all three races and the challenge as its been for the last two years.

It's still the 3 races - 5K, 10K and 10 miler. Unlike the other race weekends, the Challenge is all 3.

 

[pdude81]

That makes sense. Any bites on the 4 park theory though? They seem to be showing all four parks as part of the challenge in that video and hopefully not something random like Yoga. Would they try to do an MK 5K or an MK to Epcot 10k?

 

[surfsupdon]

I just can’t see rD using MK for a stand-alone short race. Those races are loooooong gone.

 

[Isabelle12345]

But running through MK for a short race would be sooooo fun!
I surely hope they at least bring back a race through AK!

That would be the W&D 5K. And I agree.

runDisney seems to have stealthily changed the logo of this weekend on the website. The new logo features a slightly simplified flower with mickey ears.
