Bring runDisney to Disneyland Paris

The Issue

When it comes to Disney related events, America has it all; the D23 Club, Disney Expos & conventions, runDisney, a wide variety of merchandising, and of course, two Disney parks!

I was disappointed to discover that for a fan of Disney living in Europe, there really weren't any official or exclusive events or clubs to join. The D23 Club was vastly more expensive due to shipping charges, there were no official conventions or expos run by Disney, and our one and only European park in Paris has seasonal events that pale in comparison to our brothers across the Atlantic Ocean.

In order to push the European branch of Disney in the right direction, we must take things one step at a time. The event I would like brought to Paris is runDisney.

 

About runDisney:

"runDisney is a series of events that provides runners the unique opportunity to run through Disney Theme Parks at the Walt Disney World® Resort in Florida and the Disneyland® Resort in California, earn Disney-themed finisher medals, experience legendary Disney entertainment & Guest Service, and ultimately celebrate their accomplishments with a Disney vacation. 


runDisney offers something for the whole family! While marathon and half marathon races headline each runDisney weekend, other offerings include Disney-themed kids races and family fun run 5ks, plus health and fitness expos with guest speakers, product demonstrations and official race merchandise! From the diaper dash to the 48.6-mile Dopey Challenge, there truly is something for everyone at runDisney. "

These events not only provide the entertainment of Disney, but are a great way to get individuals, families, and friends interested in endurance running, and also provides fantastic events for regular runners from across Europe and the world. We see this as a natural evolution for Disneyland Paris, and the next step into widening it's fanbase and business in Europe.

Ultimately, I would like see several runDisney Paris events per year, with fans from all over Europe travelling in to take part. Perhaps even some of our American & Canadian friends too. This is a fantastic opportunity for the Disney Company to bring something fresh to the European fans, as well as the European runners, as it has already been proven to be a huge success in the US, with over 350,000 likes on Facebook and events selling out throughout the year!

When the number of signatures is reached, I shall be sending it to key members of the Walt Disney Company/Euro Disney S.C.A, and Disney Sports

So please, sign my little petition and help me get one step closer to bringing the magic of runDisney to Paris.
