Walt Disney World hosts 4 race weekends a year. Some are more popular than others and people definitely have their favorites. With the lack of RunDisney right now I thought I’d share mine ranked 4 to 1 and why I put them there.

Marathon weekend adds one more day starting on Thursday with the 5k and finishing with the full marathon on Sunday.
