Springtime Surprise
Springtime Surprise is the newest addition to the runDisney race weekends. This year’s event takes place from April 13-16, 2023. The final event in the 2022-2023 runDisney race season celebrates the power of friendship and the magic of Pixar with the Pixar Pals.
Racers are encouraged to celebrate the running buddies that keep them going, the support systems that cheer from the sidelines, and the iconic characters that lift each other up time and time again.
To see more details regarding the event and the themes for the race, take a look at Heather’s post HERE. You can see the medals for yourself in this post.
5k Course
Yesterday we saw rare characters from Toy Story AND Monsters, Inc. at the runDisney Expo! The 5k took place this morning, and some lucky runners had the chance to meet some incredible characters!
The following characters met on the actual race course:
- Edna from Incredibles
- Jessie from Toy Story
- Slim from A Bug’s Life
- Joy and Sadness from Inside Out
- Goofy and Pluto
- Dug and Russell from UP
The following characters met at the finish line:
- Mater from Cars
- Bo Peep from Toy Story
- Needleman from Monsters, Inc.
- Wall-E
With a Pixar theme this year, we will continue to see even more rare characters for the 10k and the 10 miler. The 10k medal features Monsters Inc, and the the 10 miler medal features Toy Story. I’m willing to bet we will see characters like Lotso and Boo, among others.
The races are a really great way to meet rare Disney characters and experience the parks in a new way. Have you ever participated in a runDisney race? What do you think of these characters? Let us know in the comments below and share this post with a runDisney buddy!
