Run Disney – Star Wars Dark Side 5K

Well we did the Run Disney, Star Wars Dark Side 5K.  We waited patiently for the day to get here  and then when the day to pick up race bibs and shirts came we got a little nervous.  Up at 2:30 am on 4/20/18 to get over to Epcot to run our 5K and the nerves set in again.

When we arrived there were several characters waiting to have pictures made with and a live DJ.  We took advantage of a few of the photo ops, then headed to our corral to wait to start the run.

F corral, very last one!  It was amazing to see how many people were there to run and there were even some Orange County Fire Fighters. The longer we stood there the more nervous I got and at one point thought I was going to throw up, then we started moving closer to the start line.

We were the very last group to leave and someone fell right in front of us and got hurt.  We kept on going since there were others helping her.  We walked and ran through out the 3.1 miles and took a few photos on the way.

Mile 1, Mile 2, Mile 3 then the finish line.  It all became a reality when we crossed the finish line and got our finisher medal.  (sorry the mile 2 picture looks a bit obscene)

We were tired and needed food and a nap, but it is definitely something we plan on doing again.  It was a great mother daughter experience we will never forget.
