I've Run 40 Races in the Disney Parks — These Are My Best Tips For a Magical Race Weekend

Every race weekend at Disney includes a 5K, 10K, half-marathon, and challenge race (in which you complete the 10K and half-marathon back-to-back). In January, there's also a full marathon. If you plan to do all the races in one weekend, you should know that it's a challenge waking up at 3 a.m. for three or more days in a row, then pushing yourself to go to the parks. Personally, I head to the park for just a few hours, then go back to the resort for some rest and pool time so I feel strong enough to do it again the next day.
