DCL Podcast

We’ve teamed up with some amazing podcast to bring you the first, and hopefully last Virtual running of the #CuarantineCay5K. With a little inspiration from Run Disney’s virtual series, and frankly too much time spent inside, we all banned together to help promote a virtual 5k of our own this Memorial Day Weekend. So lace up your shoes, and come join us for a little fun and a few prizes. You can find all the details below, and we’ll be sure to fill you in more on future shows. Can’t wait to see all those amazing smiles this Memorial Day Weekend! Basics: There is no entry fee. This Memorial Day weekend get outside if you can, and run/walk a 5K (thats 3.1 miles for those of us who reside in the U.S.). If you cannot get out side, then as Chris said, “Take a grand tour of your Castle” inside! At some point in your adventure, the Beginning, Middle, or End, take a photo of you having fun! Take said photo and post it to either our Facebook or Instagram site, or tag me on Twitter using the links below. In your post, make sure you use the #CuarantineCay5K, and tag our show @dclpodcast to be eligible for a random drawing for one of our two give aways (an Onward Poster or a DCL Concierge Print).
