Posted on by AllEars
runDisney’s most extensive collection of races - Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend - begins Wednesday. If you’re not participating as either a runner or a chEAR member, you might be like my family as been in the past and want to avoid all the traffic and road closures. However, if you have an interest in fitness, there is one aspect you might want to check out and it’s completely free - except for your inevitable spending spree, that is. The runDisney Health & Fitness Expo takes place Jan. 7 to 10 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, and it’s open not just to registered participants but to the public. Even the parking is free! (How often can you say that at Disney World?!)
