Join Coach Christine in this inspiring episode of "Time for Brunch," where we start with some exciting events planned for our community.

We're launching special audio workouts for the RunDisney Summer Series, beginning with a fun mix of virtual and in-person activities. The first event, a summer virtual and in-person fun run, takes place on June 1st.

This event is free, and you can find more details and RSVP here: First Summer Virtual and In-Person Fun Run. Following closely, we celebrate Global Running Week from June 3rd to June 9th. We invite listeners to run one mile per day and participate in daily themed challenges with chances to win prizes. Join the celebration here: Global Running Week.

What do Disney, brunch, and running have in common? More than you might think. Our guests bring the spirit of Disney to life, sharing how the parks' enchantment fuels their drive and desire to chase down athletic dreams. Imagine crossing a finish line on Main Street, the jubilation of post-race celebrations, and the possibility of brunching with celebrities like Oprah or Chris Pratt. 

Tyler Williams shares his journey of overcoming personal obstacles through running, finding a special connection in the RunDisney events. His inspiring story can be followed on Instagram at Tyler Williams.


In another powerful segment, Stephanie Humphrey talks about her ongoing battle with cancer and how she continues to inspire many by running through her treatment. Her courageous story is shared on Instagram at Running Through Breast Cancer.

Step into the shoes of remarkable people who show us that resilience isn't just for the races. Our guests share how they've turned adversity into a challenge with a "try me" mindset. You'll hear about the transformative journeys that begin with a single mile and lead to marathons, Dopey challenges, and perfect runDisney seasons and beyond!


Their stories are a call to action, an invitation to find your own pace in the world of running, to discover healing in movement, and to recognize that within a community of runners, you're never really running alone.
