Have the Most Impressive Virtual Star Wars Rival Run Event with Disney+
We are getting closer to the virtual 2021 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend presented by OtterBox and runners are preparing which side of the Force they have chosen to run their at-home miles for. While some may enjoy the evening with daylight savings and choose to run outdoors, others may prefer the controlled environment and balance of running in their own homes. For those runners, rebel against the monotony of the treadmill and (safely) watch some of your favorite Star Wars films and series during your run.
As the experts at AdventHealth, Official Medical Provider of runDisney, know, staying focused and maintaining a consistent pace is key for a successful race day. Set yourself up for success with hours of Star Wars content now available to stream on Disney+. We’ve partnered with the AdventHealth team to curate the perfect content pairings, based off which event you’re planning to run.
Virtual Rival Run 5K
It’s a galactic 3.1 mile event perfect for runners of all levels. Start the weekend out with a shorter distance, perfect for catching-up on quicker Star Wars content, like an episode of an animated series. Our paired content pick:
- Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Taking place between the films Star Wars: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, documenting the period of civil war between the Republic and the Separatist Alliance. Follow the adventures of heroes like Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Ahsoka Tano, who is one of the themes for the virtual 5K event. At 25 – 30 minutes per episode, you can easily stream one or two during your at-home miles.
Virtual Rival Run 10K
Move along… during your 6.2 mile virtual run. Runners gearing up for the 10K event can plan to immerse themselves into some of the slightly longer Star Wars content available on Disney+. Our paired content pick:
- Star Wars: The Mandalorian: Set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order, we follow the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy, far from the authority of the New Republic. With episodes around 40+ minutes each, catch-up on the latest action from the all-new Disney+ original series during your run.
Virtual Rival Run Half Marathon
Do what must be done during your 13.1 mile virtual journey. For your half marathon adventure, fulfill your running destiny all while watching one of the full-length films in the Star Wars saga. While there are many action-packed films to choose from, we chose to select one of the original films, featuring both Darth Vader and Yoda who are this year’s event theme. Our paired content pick:
- Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back: The Rebels scatter after the Empire attacks their base on the ice planet Hoth. Han Solo and Princess Leia are pursued by Imperials, while Luke trains with Jedi Master Yoda. But when Luke battles Darth Vader, he learns the shocking truth of his past. Coming in at 2 hours and 7 minutes, the exciting conclusion to the original Star Wars trilogy is the perfect way to focus and accomplish your virtual half marathon.
From training with discipline and balance to maintaining your inner Force, the team of experts at AdventHealth are ready to help you meet your goals. Head over to their website for more information and training tips.
