Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon





After the 5K run, it was off to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to interview renowned Olympic athlete and prolific marathon writer and coach, Jeff Galloway. Jeff gave me some valuable tips for this evening’s race, the inaugural Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon.

Starting at 10pm with 10,000 other runners, we ran through Disney’s Animal Kingdom (avoiding the lion enclosure – we’d be too much like fleeing prey!), in and around Disney’s Hollywood Studios (which were lit up like Tinsel Town), to the finish line at Epcot which most reached around midnight.

And there, after a quick recovery, we were able to indulge in a true Midnight Feast as we participated in the Finish Line Party and the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival. A mouth-watering array of dishes and drinks from around the world were available to 3am – the perfect, if exhausting end to a memorable Disney weekend!
