New on the TRR Blog, "A Coach’s Guide to Running 48.6 Miles at Disney World" by Team RunRun Coach Dafne Valle @boldlyrun !

Every January, thousands of runners head to Walt Disney World to take on one of the most unique endurance events in running: the @rundisney Dopey Challenge.

Four races in four days, a 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and Marathon, all adding up to 48.6 miles! 🐭

Click on our Link in Bio to read more about this magical adventure!

"The Dopey Challenge is one of the most unique and joyful endurance events in the running world. It requires preparation beyond traditional marathon training — from managing logistics to navigating back-to-back race fatigue to balancing the thrill of Disney with the demands of a multi-day challenge."

13.1 miles later and this Lady is still wagging her tail.

Wine and Dine is special. It was the first RunDisney weekend I ran. My first half marathon. The first time I surprised myself with what I could do. 2019 Megan would have never imagined the next 6 years of her running journey - from PRs, to stepping away for a few years after injury, falling back in love with running and to becoming a marathoner (and a Dopey!!) - I can’t wait to see what the next 6 years have in store!

✨Medal Monday✨
Coast to Coast 2025 Etd

Let’s do it all one more time.
I was traveling last Monday back home to Seattle. But to say that last weekend was a surreal would be an understatement. I cannot wait to bring this medal back home with me to Dumbo weekend in January! Walt Disney World is a dream, but Disneyland is my home. There is something about @rundisney it’s the love and support from other runners, the community you build and the village that supports you. A huge thank you to my coaches @runfitmama & @fitfabdopey for creating @dopeystrong And my @dottieforrunning sisters and Cara for all of your love. And of course, I had my best friends and snack sisters @headed.to.disney every step of the way. Love you all. See you at the starting line. 💜

Dionysus: the Greek god of wine, festivity, and ecstasy 🍇🍷🌿👑

H E R C U L E S • 10k •

Dionysus, often depicted with grapes or a wreath of vine, was the best costume I could think of for this race weekend themed around Greek Gods… what would be more perfect for me?!?! 🤪⚡️🌿🏃🏼‍♀️‍➡️🥇

I especially loved spending so much time with awesome friends during this race 🤍

And with that, the final race of the season comes to an end.

It’s hard to put into words the emotions of the last 5ish months. While it wasn’t the perfect WDW season I planned for, it was perfect for me. Some highlights and lowlights from each weekend:

Wine and Dine - the weekend I had my first DNS. The weekend I was recovering from my first running related injury. The weekend that I cried over. The weekend I got to meet my running coach in person and break my walking boot because I was having so much fun in the parks.

Marathon Weekend - The weekend I ran for my dad. The weekend I met my Team Fox Family. The weekend we raised over $115,000 for Parkinson’s awareness. The weekend I ran my first Marathon and first Dopey. The weekend I wasn’t sure I would be able to finish the races because training didn’t go according to plan. The weekend I didn’t stop for a single character because I was so nervous. The weekend I learned just how strong I was.

Princess Weekend - The weekend I celebrated my accomplishments and stopped for characters! The weekend I met some of my besties in person.

Springtime Surprise - The weekend I celebrated my version of a perfect season. The weekend I ran my first 10 miler. The weekend I finished within 2 minutes of the balloon ladies because I was goofing off so much.

I can’t wait to see what the next season brings. See you all at Wine and Dine in October friends - it’s my perfect WDW year 💕

Reliving this weekend over and over again.

I am Dopey and a Marathoner and this girl is the reason why! She is the best coach, turned friend, in the world and I truly could not have done this without her. Dafne never gave up on me, even when I wanted to give up on myself daily. She constantly changed my training plan to adapt for me (including a training plan with no running lol), and played out so many hypothetical situations with me to calm my nerves. She pushed me to be a better runner, and it’s because of her that I was able to finish Dopey… and do 25k steps rope dropping the parks the next day. If you’re at all interested in a running coach, she’s one of the good ones💎💚💜

July Mile Recap: 31.2
I was behind on posting, so I put all of this month’s runs in one reel. I’ve been working on balancing family, work and running. I didn’t get as much running in as I would have liked, but had a lot of support from my coaches, family and friends that it is ok to take a step back from training when life gets crazy. Here’s to an upcoming birthday month full of running and lifting leading up to turning 36 and Disneyland Halloween Half Weekend in just 5 weeks. 💜🏃🏻‍♀️‍➡️✨👑

Congratulations to everyone who registered and will be running in WDW Princess 2025!! 👑💖💜🩵
I really hope to be back in 2026. Princess was my first half ever in 2020 and I absolutely adored it.
