A show of conversation focused on positivity and encouragement, centered especially on the runDisney community. Here the focus is on getting people enjoying running at all levels, in normal clothes and costumes, and living all around the world. We all bring something different with us, face different challenges, and commit different amounts of ourselves to this sport and community. That's not just ok. It's worth celebrating.
