More than 20,000 runners crossed the finish line last year at the annual running of Walt Disney World’s Disney Princess Half Marathon, 10K and 5K in the late winter at the end of February, along an out-and-back route that starts and finishes in the parking lot of its Epcot Center, in the shadow of the resort’s famed Spaceship Earth globe.
The last few years have brought the addition of a new series of kids’ races as well as a one-mile fun run, and the half marathon takes runners through many of the tree-lined and sun-splashed resort’s most scenic and famed attractions, including the Magic Kingdom — and its Fantasyland, Tomorrowland and Adventureland — the green fairways of the Walt Disney World Golf Complex and the World Showcase Lagoon just south of Epcot, which runners will follow the pathways around in their final stretch to the race finish.
