Disneyland Paris is in a small town, Marne-la-Vallée, about 30 minutes outside of Paris. It’s the French countryside that steals the show. It starts running through Disneyland Paris’s two theme parks-Walt Disney Studios and Disneyland Paris-and continues through the French countryside before circling past the Disneyland Paris hotels. Are you someone who has spun around your living room pretending you’re Belle singing, “I want adventure in the great wide somewhere?” Well this race was designed for you. It was a nice experience to run free from tech and really tune into the sounds of the race around me. I went tech free only carrying my phone for pictures along the way. It was also nice since-without an international phone plan-my normal running apps didn’t work. It made the race fly by getting to see so many more signs along the way. Instead of the typical mile markers there were kilometer markers-21 of them. The largest group came from the U.S., but two-thirds came from all over the world.

These races are not a place to go for a personal record it is good to take advantage of their stops for selfies and photos with characters along the way. There are marching bands and cheerleaders along the way to keep you moving-and, of course, you get the unique opportunity to run through Disney Parks. Runners dress up in their favorite princess dresses, sparkles and mouse ears. They are always packed with fun and Disney magic. I’ve run several RunDisney races over the last few years in both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Late September marked the inaugural half marathon weekend in Disneyland Paris (or semi-marathon as it’s sometimes called in Europe). Heading out the door?
