LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (Feb. 23, 2023) – The Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend presented by CORKCICLE kicked off today with Disney Princess Yoga. And unlike your typical yoga studio, the unique event allowed yogis to walk up Main Street, U.S.A., before the park opened, stretch and meditate in front of the iconic Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom Park. This is the second year of the yoga event.  

In addition, the runDisney Health & Fitness Expo opened today at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. Runners picked up their race bibs, participant shirts and purchased popular runDisney merchandise.   

The race weekend which focuses on women’s empowerment continues tomorrow with the 5K, Saturday’s 10K and then the half marathon on Sunday. There’s also the Disney Fairy Tale Challenge (10K and half-marathon) and a virtual component to each race. 

Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend is the third of four on-site race weekends during the 2022-23 runDisney season. Next is the runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend (April 13-16). These races, which include runners of all fitness levels, provide the opportunity to run through Disney theme parks, experience world-class entertainment and earn unique Disney medals.
