Post-race picnic to enjoy samplings from Epcot International Food & Wine Festival
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. - The 9th Disney's Race for the Taste 10K takes place Sunday, October 12, giving competitors an opportunity to run and eat during the popular Epcot International Food & Wine Festival at Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando.
Runners will enjoy a ceremonial toast and fireworks display at the start of the race at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex, then embark on a 6.2-mile journey through Disney's Hollywood Studios, including running through the set of "Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show". Runners will then trek through Disney's Yacht Club and Disney's Beach Club resorts before passing through World Showcase at Epcot, the epicenter of the Food & Wine Festival.
At the finish line, runners - along with ticketed friends and family members - will have an opportunity to sample international cuisine from the Epcot festival at a post-race picnic.
There will also be several Race for the Taste Kids' Races, including a Heelys' Race and Roll race (200m) for kids ages 8-14. Other kids' races include a 100-meter event (ages 1-3), a 200-meter race (ages 4-6), a 400-meter race (ages 7-9) and an 800-meter event (ages 9-11).
