Run into the holiday spirit!
If you’re a runner, it’s time to start gearing up for runDisney’s 12Ks of Christmas Challenge. If you complete it this December, you could earn three merry 4K medals, and a Challenge medal featuring Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse.
According to Disney, the challenge is made up of “three virtual 4K races hosted by favorite Disney friends. Even more festive… each of the race medals (three 4K medals and one Challenge medal) doubles as an ornament.” In addition, you’ll be able to unwrap “exclusive swag like a long-sleeve hooded shirt, a holiday Corkcicle mug and a box of Twinings holiday tea. Talk about a happy holiday!”
