In this episode, Stephanie is joined by special guests from her runDisney circle to share their experiences, insights, and favorite moments from race weekends. Together, they walk through what makes runDisney events so unique — from the excitement of registration and race planning to the energy of race morning and the emotion of crossing the finish line with friends.

The guests share practical advice and personal lessons on registration strategy, training, pacing, and race-day preparation. The conversation covers key logistics like corrals, transportation, gear choices, fueling, and how to set realistic goals while still having fun on the course. They also talk through Expo Day highlights, bib pickup, merchandise tips, and how to make the most of the full weekend experience.

Costumes, character stops, and course entertainment are all part of the magic, and the guests share what’s worked, what they’d do differently, and how to balance creativity with comfort. They also reflect on the traditions and small moments that turn race weekends into lasting memories.

At the heart of the episode is the runDisney community — the encouragement on the course, the friendships built through shared miles, and the supportive atmosphere that welcomes runners at every level. Whether you’re considering your first runDisney race or looking to improve your next one, this episode delivers helpful guidance, honest perspective, and plenty of motivation to join the fun.
