Joined by Riley Claremont and Tracy Wu, we've packed this finale with laughter, insights, and tales that stitch together the fabric of a community bound by the rhythm of running shoes.

We are honored to be joined by our cohosts of the weekend Riley and Tracy to provide a little recap of the magical weekend that was the Walt Disney World Marathon!  As we reminisce about some of the amazing stories we encountered like with the Pease brothers, Kyle and Brent, whose story of resilience and unity in the face of cerebral palsy has reshaped the contours of our spirits, we were reminded that the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend is more than just a race; it's a vibrant celebration of human potential. Within this episode, we're sharing the heart-tugging narratives of those who traversed the marathon's magical miles, including the emotional encounters with participants like William, who shed over 200 pounds to cross the finish line, and Glenn who returned to running post-brain surgery. The power of these stories lies not just in the triumphs, but in the transformative journeys that led each runner to the starting line.Weather may have rolled in with a plan of its own, but the runDisney community's spirit remained unshakable. We recount how a rainy half marathon day, reminiscent of a past half marathon's cancellation, became a testament to the unyielding support amongst runners, volunteers, and staff. The joyous defiance against the elements shone through as we reminisced about impromptu rain dances and finish line celebrations. We share a little behind-the-scenes look at weather contingencies, revealing the delicate balance of safety and sentiment that guides such challenging decisions.Wrapping up our marathon recap, laughter bubbles to the surface as we recount the light-hearted moments that punctuate the intensity of race weekends. From Carissa's punchy commentary that left an imprint of humor on the runners, to the playful naming of the anthem-singing Dapper Dans, we're embracing the full spectrum of marathon weekend experiences. Join us as we weave through the shared laughter, the collective focus, and the individual feats that make the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend an event where every step tells a story.Support the Show.Let Registered Dietitian Carissa Galloway lead you through a science-backed plan to transform the way you think about your diet.Visit www.GallowayCourse.com and use the code PODCAST at checkout for a great discount!Become a 321 Go! supporter.
