Add Theme Park Fun to Your At-Home Race Day!
Bring a little Disney Parks magic to your local course with creative ideas to elevate your race day celebration:
- Design Your Own Ride-Inspired Race Course: Map a 5K route that channels the spirit of your favorite attraction—whether it’s a “wildest ride in the wilderness” backyard loop or a “jungle cruise” through the greenest trail in your city.
- Decorate with Disney Flair: Add attraction-themed touches like pirate flags or jungle vines for an immersive, DIY race environment!
- Create a Magical Medal Moment: Finish your adventure with a personal medal ceremony. Ask a friend or family member to hand you your medal—or treat yourself to a mini firework moment with confetti or streamers.
Wear the Magic on Your Wrist
Add a splash of Disney magic to your miles with a custom watch or fitness tracker background! Channel the spirit of your virtual race with images inspired by the featured attractions:
- Disney Pirates of the Caribbean: Aye-aye, captain! Let Jack Sparrow steer you to the finish.
- Jungle Cruise: You’re the skipper now—don’t forget to make your own corny jokes!
- Big Thunder Mountain Railroad: It’s a race through the wilderness—hold onto your hats!
- Disney Happily Ever After: Set your sights on a sparkling finish that’s worthy of fireworks.
