Theme park De Efteling organized in collaboration with radio channel Q-Music the Santa run last December, but also in various Disney parks in America several runs are organized. Half marathons for the whole family, both young children and adults. Like the Princess Half in February, but also the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon weekend and the kidsrun. Disney is also working on setting up a #DisneyFitChallenge. We see that entertainment around running is becoming more important, earlier we saw the Color Run in the Netherlands and on 29 March the Electric Run will take place. Perhaps in the context of health and to make the youth more enthusiastic about running, the theme parks such as De Efteling can organize various types of runs, with the inspiration from Disney Land.
