Saturday morning runners started their 6.2 mile journey in royal style as fireworks filled the air at the Inaugural Disney Enchanted 10K.
This race took runners through the Epcot theme park as well as the Boardwalk Resort area.
Princess Half Marathon
Sunday marked the start of the longest race of the weekend – the 13.1 mile Disney Princess Half Marathon!
Runners started this journey right outside of Epcot. They then made their way down World Drive to the Magic Kingdom.
After entering a backstage area of the Magic Kingdom runners made their way down Main Street USA and through Tomorrowland.
Participants then ran through Fantasyland before making their way to Cinderella Castle.
After running through Magic Kingdom and making it to the halfway mark, Princesses turn back down World Drive for the run to the finish line at Epcot.
