Runner Support
Each runner will receive support from our national coaching program to prepare you for the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend experience. Our coach will help runners set realistic goals, monitor progress, and provide answers to questions on everything from the training that makes the most sense for you to how to avoid injury.
Additionally, every runner will be paired up with a Breakthrough T1D chapter. Your chapter will help you throughout your experience with materials, fundraising ideas, motivation, and overall support. Your chapter can also assist you in setting up your online fundraising page, introduce you to their local Youth Ambassadors, and provide you with all the resources you need to have an amazing run.
