Dumbo Double Dare – Planning/Packing List

 I have been looking forward to this race, since I registered for it back in February – as of today, the countdown is at 46 days!

First, What is the Dumbo Double Dare?  It’s a challenge race at Disneyland that consists of a 10K (6.2 miles) on Saturday and a Half Marathon (13.1 miles) on Sunday!  Not only will I be bringing home the 10K, Half and Challenge medals, but I will also bring home the coveted Coast to Coast Medal. This medal means that within the same calendar year, I will have run a Half Marathon at each US Disney Park – One at Disney World and one at Disneyland.  I ran the Walt Disney Half Marathon earlier this year and couldn’t pass up the unique opportunity to do this during such a big birthday year!

Now onto the important stuff, what do you need to run in a RunDisney Challenge race?

Running Stuff:

• Shoes – probably two pair!
• Socks
• Running shorts/shirts/costumes
• Sunglasses
• GU!
• Headphones – yes I know that they don’t like you to wear them, but there are some sections of road that are boring.  I will take them out for the park and entertainment portions.
• Running Watch
• Printed Waiver – so I don’t have to worry about printing when I’m there!
• Compression Sleeves
• Glide
• Nuun
• Hair Ties!
• I Run 4 Lauren temporary tattoos

Park Stuff:

• Granola Bars
• Collapsible Water Bottle – maybe!
• Ziplock Bag (for phone)
• Extra charger for phone
• Hips Sister – Visit here for more info! Shout out to Denise for sharing this product with me – Visit her Facebook Page!
• Pennies and quarters for the penny press machines

Normal Travel Stuff:

• Toiletries
• Ibuprofen
• Advocare Nighttime Recovery
• Chap stick
• Three extra outfits – one for the park on Saturday, one for whatever Sunday might bring and something comfy to fly the red eye home Sunday night! Perhaps a sundress in case we want to go out to dinner!
• Flip Flips
• Small first aid kit

Things to be planned:

• Must see in both parks
• Must see sights in LA
• What to Eat: Meals, Character Dining or outside park options

What do you think – did I miss anything?  I welcome feedback – I want to make the most of this trip!
