Video Captures the Royal Experience of the Disney Princess Half Marathon at Walt Disney World Resort

March 30, 2015

Have you ever thought about running in a runDisney event?  Wondered what the course looks like and what the whole experience would be like?  Robert Hitchcock, PR Manager/Content Producer, runDisney put out this blog and video on the Disney Parks Blog.  The video is awesome, the photographers and the team that put this video together did an amazing job.  Check it out!!!

Recently in a kingdom not so far away, more than 24,000 Princesses and Princes made a 13.1-mile journey through Magic Kingdom Park and Epcot at the Disney Princess Half Marathon presented by Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

Some runners took just over an hour to complete their journey, and for others it took a little longer. No matter their ability they all followed the same path, triumphantly ran through Cinderella Castle, celebrated at the finish line, earned the coveted Disney Princess Tiara Finisher Medal and created runDisney memories that will last a lifetime.

What was their experience like?

The Genie Transportation Services

With the help of 6 photographers from the Disney Yellow Shoes team, 13 cameras and tens of thousands of images, we can share their journey in just over two minutes.

Once upon a time ……

A special thanks to Disney photographers David Roark, Matt Stroshane, Kent Phillips, Ryan Wendler, Chloe Rice, Todd Anderson, and editor Bryan Smoker for their creativity in bringing this story to life.
