123: 2024 WDW Marathon Winner Stephanie Muscat

As we lace up for another episode of Rise and Run, the thrill of victory is palpable through the inspiring tale of Stephanie Muscat, whose recent triumph at the Walt Disney World Marathon is nothing short of magical. We're not just celebrating her win; we're getting a firsthand account of Stephanie's journey from competitive swimming to marathon champion, and the mental strength required to cross that finish line first. Tracy also chills us to the bone with his Frigid 5K adventures in Provo, Utah, reminding us that every race, whether in the warmth of Disney or the icy grips of Utah, is a unique testament to our love for running.

Our discussion takes a turn around the track of perseverance, as we consider the rigorous training sessions and strategies we've all faced. From my own grueling 14-mile runs to Stephanie's disciplined approach to marathon preparation, we explore the highs and lows that shape a runner's path. We laugh over rogue Hawaiian waves and commiserate about the coldest races we've endured, sharing tips on how to brave the elements. Our camaraderie shines as we rally around the idea that whether you're a seasoned marathoner or just starting out, each run is a story of personal triumph.

We wrap up with reflections on the sheer joy of participating in runDisney events and the anticipation for future races in iconic cities. Stephanie's heartfelt recount of her Walt Disney World Marathon win, from the cheers at Cinderella's Castle to the overwhelming emotions at the finish line, leaves us both inspired and eager for our own next big race. So, tighten those shoelaces and join us for an episode where every step is a celebration of the runner's spirit, and where every story is a victory lap in the making.
