The runDisney Virtual Running Shorts series is back for its fourth year and this year celebrates 80 years of Marvel! The Virtual Running Shorts series is a set of three 5K virtual races where you can run, jog, or walk around your neighborhood, on a treadmill, at the gym, or even around Walt Disney World Resorts - wherever you want, whenever you want at your own pace.
There are three individual race windows, each with a different commemorative finisher medal representing characters from the Marvel Universe. Run all three of the 5K races within the completion time frame and you’ll also receive a Virtual Running Shorts Series Finisher Medal.
I participated in the Virtual Running Shorts in 2017 and really enjoyed it! It was a great way for me to feel motivated to get into running and stick with it. It also prepared me for racing without feeling the pressure right when I was getting started. (You can read my review of the Virtual Running Shorts series here and you can read about each of my individual 5k races here).
