Half Marathon Weekend Means Delays for Opening
As the race weekend begins, runners of all ages are gearing up to write their own fairy tale of determination, courage, and triumph at the Run Disney Princess Half Marathon, where every mile is a magical memory in the making. This event is drawing in thousands of eager runners who are looking to accomplish the Half Marathon at the beautiful Walt Disney World Resort.
On Sunday, February 25, the main Half Marathon event will take place beginning at 5:00 am. Even with this early start, the park will need an extra hour to prepare for the opening of one theme park. EPCOT, one of Walt Disney World Resort’s magical and epic theme parks, will delay its opening on Sunday in light of the event.
