Hey there friends! I’m Gina, the other half of “Sweet Disney Delights” and owner of “From Gina’s Kitchen”, a small baking business located in the Manassas/Haymarket area of Northern Virginia. My BFF Melissa has so graciously asked me to guest blog today about runDisney and how to pack for a race weekend. This runDisney Packing List will help you prepare for the race. Be sure to check out the Disney Packing Lists resource page here on the blog for more helpful Disney packing tips.
As I like to say, “Baker gals can run, too” so as an avid power walker and runner, this Disney princess has always dreamed of completing a runDisney race. I always knew I’d start off slowly, specifically with the Princess 5k which is held annually every February at Walt Disney World, then work my way up to the 10k, and eventually the Princess Half Marathon. Etched in pen on my bucket list is to also complete a challenge (multiple races in one-weekend event.)
RunDisney hosts races several times a year and, in several locations. In addition to the four-race weekends offered in Orlando, FL at Walt Disney World, you can participate in runDisney races in Disneyland Paris!
I’ve been run/walking 5k races around my hometown for years. This summer I ran a 10k at the local Manassas, VA airport, Now, I am preparing to run the Disney Princess 10k in 2020.
I ran my first runDisney race
The most exciting thing you’ll pack? Your running costume, of course! My brother and I ran as Peter Pan
So what do you have to pack for a runDisney race?
Melissa asked me to create this packing list to help first-timers (and to remind seasoned runDisney participants) of items that are helpful to have with you during a race weekend. Although you can visit the runDisney Expo while you are there and pick up some of the items on my list, which I did in February, I like to spend my time in the parks and not in long lines shopping at the expo. Trust me, I can write a whole other blog post on that subject! Let me just say, pack your patience if you visit the Expo.
What Are Some runDisney Essentials I May Need?
Leggings or Running Shorts

Like Melissa, I’m a list girl. I love my planner, my calendar
I hope you find my list of runDisney packing “must-haves” helpful. Do you need everything on my list? Probably not. But at least pack patience, confidence, and a BFF to share the experience with! Oh and don’t forget a pair of good running shoes. Because you know, a good pair of shoes can change a girl’s life!
