What It's Like Getting Swept At A Walt Disney World Marathon Race! My Experience Running The 10k!

Editorial Summary

The creator documents his experience participating in his first 10K at a Walt Disney World run event. Weighing 325 pounds, he expresses significant anxiety regarding his physical ability to complete the distance and fears being judged by more serious runners. The video follows his preparations at the Run Disney Expo, where he navigates merchandise lines, picks up his race bib, and prepares with KT Tape. During the race, he struggles with the hilly terrain and the difficulty of maintaining pace. He ultimately gets swept by the balloon ladies before reaching the Epcot entrance, resulting in him being transported by bus. Despite the initial feeling of defeat and the shame of not finishing, the creator concludes that the process of being swept was handled with kindness and dignity by staff. He notes that he was able to blend in with finishers and receive a medal and snacks. Ultimately, the experience serves as motivation for him to sign up again next year with the goal of starting in an earlier corral and achieving a redemption run.
