Love them all.....but I have my fav. John constantly says things that make me laugh out loud. Carissa is a close second, and who does not like Creigh? Rudy is okay, nice guy, ,meet him at DL once.

Just for fun....who is your favorite runDisney announcer?
- Thread starter Greenlawler
- Start date
Agree with you - like John the best. He was on last year's DVC member cruise and did a great segment with Art Smith. After they finished, I walked up to him and told him I really liked his performance during the runDisney races. Nice guy.
Carissa is okay. Rudy is like nails on a chalkboard to me - I find him a tad over the top. Creigh's the guy who does interviews with runners as they line up to start, correct? As someone in the last corral, it can be hard to hear him. But I loved the interview he did with our own @FerretAfros.

No Creigh is the other older gentleman who is often on stage. He could be confused with Rudy.
Yeah I hesitated to post this....I was just curious more than anything, because I see lots of love for Rudy and Carissa at the events but rarely any for John.They are all special to me.
I'll turn in my man card now.
Oh, I've never seen him. Just Rudy, John, and Carissa (when she's not running). Did my first Marathon weekend race this month and there was a gentlemen I'd not seen before on stage for the 10K.
Criegh Kelly, I think he's been at just about WDW Marathon weekend. He's usually at the starting line. I also think I remember him out at the DL races.
Hmm. They guy was wearing a knit cap and I was in the 2nd to the last corral, trying NOT to freeze my rear, so maybe it was him?

Carissa! At my first runDisney event the Tower13K, she was dressed in a bellhop costume and looked beautiful. I was determined to get a photo with her pre race. So I did, we talked for a good bit, and have been ‘friends’ ever since. It helps that she shouts me out at every start as well!!
Fun fact: The race announcers are not runDisney CMs. They are outsiders hired by runD year after year.

I believe John is a local radio personality.

Did not know that. I have seen Rudy in other WDW videos. It's been a while.
There was also another younger guy who has appeared on TV and other videos. Forgot his name but he did a Star Wars race.

Yes, Carissa was used for DME TV. Again, not a Disney employee, but hired for that role in the video.
I think John is a CM
I wonder if this also means John will be gone.

I was referring to the move of the W&D 5K to Epcot. But Rudy's post indicates there may be more changes, given the new show director. I don't know if that means dumping John and Carissa, too (something tells me she may be safe
) or other changes. I sure hope not. Don't you follow Carissa on social media? Has she said anything?

My assumption is this is because Rudy lives in CA whereas John and Carissa live in FL.
