Tuesday Topics: My favorite running costumes or outfits

I am not a costume person.  Heck, I don’t even like to dress up for Halloween!  The only reason I do it is because of my students.  😀

I haven’t run many races in a costume.  I think the only time I’ve done it is when I ran the RunDisney races a few years ago.  And I wore the same two costumes.  Let’s check them out!

☑️ Minnie Mouse at the Walt Disney World Half Marathon

☑️ Sofia the First at the Walt Disney World Marathon

☑️ Minnie Mouse at the Walt Disney World Enchanted 10K

☑️ Sofia the First at the Walt Disney World Princess Half Marathon

Reading the posts and looking at the pictures made me realize how fun it was to run these races.  I didn’t realized how much I miss racing till now.  I miss the traveling, getting reading the night before, meeting up with friends, etc.

When I run at home my favorite outfit consist of a pair of Oiselle long rogas and a Oiselle top.  Pretty much anything from Oiselle.  My socks are either Balega UltraGlide or Smartwool Run Ultra Light Socks.  I don’t like them with too much cushion.  Also on my feet are a pair of Brooks Launch or Ghost.

    I have never ran in a costume but it looks so much fun!
    Who is the guy next to you in the second photo? He looks like an experienced runner!

    Nice costumes!! My bad…I didn’t even think to mention my running shoes in my post…I was so focused on the (colorful) clothing LOL

    I’m not a costume person either, Zenaida! I can’t even imagine trying to store that sort of stuff! But I admit I love seeing other people’s costumes.

    Hopefully you’ll find a race for yourself soon!

      I also love seeing others’ costumes. Many are so creative!!!

        Absolutely! I didn’t get the costume gene.

    I’m glad that it’s pretty easy to find cute accessories for running outfits these days. Party City is my go to for anything themed to match my running outfits.

      Now I know where to go if I ever need a costume for a race!

    What cute outfits. I only run one costume race and that’s at Christmas time. It’s fun to get dressed up.

      I am really lazy to put together a costume. Ha, Kim said she gets her stuff from Party City.

    Your costumes look very runnable. If I was so inclined to wear a costume it would need to be similar.
    I miss races too!

      I wanted something cute and simple!

    I’m not much of a costume person, but I will dress colorfully if the occasion calls for it! Cute memories!

      Memories is all I have for now. Glad I have pictures and blog posts to help me remember.

    I don’t think I’ve ever done a race in a costume. I look forward to seeing what other people wear though! Eventually I hope to do Disney as my Florida marathon and I’m sure there will be lots of great costumes there!

      OMG yes! You also need to run in a costume too. 🙂

    I’ve never worn a costume for a race- I feel so boring! I’ve also never tried any Oiselle clothing, but I would like to- looks like great quality.

      I like their shorts and flyout tops. The latter is perfect for those hot and humid days for running.

    I enjoyed dressing up for the Disney Princess 10K with my sister a few years ago! We didn’t wear anything fancy but we had so much fun!

      I would like to run that one again!

Thank you for your comment!

I was a late bloomer to this running craziness. One of my coworkers would always talk to me about… Read more ›
