Cultural Happenings: Disney Princess Half Marathon

As the first rays of sunlight peeked over the horizon at Walt Disney World, LifeTRAVELED exchange visitors played a crucial role in one of the most magical running events of the year: Disney's Half Princess Marathon.

As the race progressed and runners pushed through their final miles, our exchange visitors stood ready. With medals in hand, they eagerly awaited the moment when they could bestow these hard-earned treasures upon the tired but triumphant athletes. In doing so, they didn't just contribute to the event – they became an integral part of each runner's fairy-tale ending to their magical 13.1-mile journey.

The Disney Half Marathon volunteer event was an opportunity to immerse themselves in American culture, to witness the determination and spirit of the runners, and to be part of something truly special. Their presence added an international flair to an already diverse event, making the Half Princess Marathon a truly global celebration.

The event was entertaining when it was time to see the commitment of the runners. - Javier, Summer Work and Travel
