In one of the biggest magical surprises I have received, I contacted a runDisney friend to inquire about an Everest bib. I fully expected to be told that there was nothing she could do, as she does not handle registrations. However, today my inbox had an invitation to join Everest 5K as a comped event participant!!!

I'M IN!! I made it. I am excited to have a runDisney weekend overlap with our Senior Trip (3 of my track athletes will also be participating). And I am overwhelmed by the kindness of one. I love the runDisney community!!

You'll have a full day to either hit the park(s) to celebrate or sleep.

The event guide has been "virtual" for several years now. Why rD decided to reframe it as "Virtual Expo & Event Guide" is interesting. Don't like the word "digital" anymore? Like the word "corral"?

I like these race routes, especially the 10 miler going through Epcot then what appears to be ALL of HS, including the Star Wars area!

I actually really love these courses! The 10K includes a lot of Epcot, and running around Crescent Lake in the morning was my favorite part of the OG Race for the Taste. The 10-Miler running World Showcase first is awesome - I don’t think I’ve run that section in the dark/early morning since the Marathon in 2012. And to my knowledge, I don’t think that area of World Dr between ~5.5-6.5 has ever been utilized before?
Edit: Is Galaxy’s Edge in there too? Super cool!

The best part? Absolutely no Osceola Parkway! I’m really excited for these races!
