The Castle Run Podcast: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Lisa DiNoto Glassner
The Castle Run Podcast is a limited-series companion to The runDisney Companion, the beginner’s guide and the veteran’s love letter to all things runDisney. Hosted by author, photographer, and longtime runDisney runner Lisa DiNoto Glassner, the show walks through the runDisney experience one chapter at a time: choosing a race, registering, training, planning your trip, race costumes, race weekend, recovery, challenges, and all the strange, wonderful, emotional stuff that happens along the way. Lisa has run more than 100 runDisney races and lives just a stone’s throw from Cinderella Castle. Some weeks she’ll bring in expert guests; most weeks, it’s just you and her, shooting the pixie dust about running Disney. Whether you’re considering your very first runDisney race or have a drawer full of medals, pull up a chair. We’ve got a lot to talk about.

5: How to Train for a runDisney Race, with Coach Tom Stokes
You're registered. Now you actually have to get ready. My first-ever guest, Coach Tom Stokes of Stoked Metabolic (you might know him as @themusclemouse, or as one of @thetutuguys), joins me to talk through training for a runDisney race: how to pick a plan you'll actually follow, letting the schedule do the deciding, fueling your training, consistency and effort, what to do when life interrupts, why strength work matters for runners, trusting the taper, and running on tired legs if you're taki...

4: Getting In, runDisney Registration Explained
runDisney registration can feel as stressful as race day itself. In this episode I walk through how it works and what you can do to give yourself the best odds: when registration opens, the three ways in before the general public (Perfect status, Club runDisney Gold and Platinum, and Run for a Cause), how the virtual waiting room works, why a few open windows help, and what to have ready before you check out. Then Club runDisney's tiers, prices and perks, proof of time, how start groups and c...

Episode 3: The History of runDisney, and How Every Race Weekend Came to Be
runDisney feels like it has been around forever. It hasn't. The name itself only dates to 2010, and the first Walt Disney World Marathon was in January 1994, with about 5,600 runners. In this episode I follow the thread of each of today's four race weekends back to where it started: Marathon Weekend, from that first marathon to the half, Goofy and Dopey; Wine & Dine, from the Disney Classic 10K and the Tower of Terror 13K to the night half marathon; Princess, from Mini Marathon Weekend t...

Episode 1: How I Came to Be the Person Writing This Book
Before we talk race weekends, corrals and costumes, I owe you the story of how I got here. I wasn't a runner. I wasn't a Disney person. I was a Big Law attorney working 100-hour weeks when my dad got sick — and one day my body refused to sit still with what I was feeling, so I put on my sneakers and ran. A heads-up before you press play: this episode talks about a parent's illness and an end-of-life decision. If today isn't the day for that, Episode 2 is out now too, and you can always come ...

Episode 2: Which runDisney Race Should You Run? The Four Race Weekends, Explained
Four runDisney race weekends, one season, and one question: which one is yours? Here's how to choose — and why you shouldn't overthink it. In this episode I walk through Wine & Dine, Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend, Princess, and Springtime Surprise: when each one falls, the longest race, the challenge, the theme, which courses run through Magic Kingdom, and who each weekend is for. This is Chapter Three of The runDisney Companion. 2026–27 SEASON Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend...
