Why, Yes, We ARE Taking Advice From The Muppets

The Muppets are ICONIC, and that’s part of why we were a little devastated to see the closure of Muppets Courtyard in Disney World, but also excited about the Muppets taking over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster.

Well, if you’re a runner, The Muppets are sharing some advice and tips with runDisney for the virtual 12 Ks of Christmas event. We always recommend taking advice from The Muppets, so let’s see what they had to say.

The first tip is by Kermit, who wants you to always stay hydrated. This is actually an important tip for visiting Disney World, too. We recommend making sure you have a water bottle handle when you’re running and visiting the parks. Drink LOTS of water.

The second tip comes from fashion icon Miss Piggy. She recommends rhinestone running shoes. Well, it’s certainly a look if you want your run to look glamorous!

Gonzo has a recommendation, too. “Run like your favorite chicken is waiting at the finish line.” This could also be your favorite person, your favorite snack, or something else, though.

It’s also important to “maintain proper form,” of course. You’re running, you don’t have time for nonsense (you do, though, and that’s part of the fun of doing a runDisney event either in person or virtually).

There’s still time to participate in the 12Ks of Christmas virtual run. Registration is open, and you can sign up online at the runDisney website. This race is Muppets-themed, so you’ll earn limited-edition Muppets 70th-anniversary medals at the end of the race.
