Rise and Run
A Podcast for the runDisney community, Rise and Run is a group of friends united by their love of runDisney events. We discuss our experiences at Walt Disney World and other running events. We recognize the running achievements of our listeners, and frequently invite other members of the runDisney community to share their knowledge and experiences with us. Mostly, though, we're a group of Disney runners who love to have fun and want you to have as much fun as we do.

Been doing WDW races since 2001. Amazing how it has grown. My son has been participating his entire life, literally- he is 21 now. I can’t count the number of people in my life that have said to me “I could never run a marathon.” 💯 of those that have tried have done it (some multiple Dopey finishers now 😄). Keep up the good work. Best, Bob Joyce
