Hello from Colorado – I’ll share details soon, but first let’s talk running costumes! I ran the Disneyland 10K in a Cinderella Running Costume that I threw together very easily! No Martha Stewart-y crafting abilities needed. Since a lot of Run Disney races are coming up I thought I’d share how I made this Cinderella Running Costume…
Cinderella Running Costume
1. Bun – I used a hot bun.
2. Wide light blue head band – I used a Sweaty Band
3. Earrings – I used cheap pearl ones
4. Light blue tank – I love the random one I picked up because the back was cool and bottom was flowy and reminded me of a dress kinda sorta. This one is similar.
5. White arm sleeves. I meant to make these Monican style with socks for a cheaper option, but ran out of time.
6. Sparkle Skirt in light blue
7. Optional: white trim for arms
8. Optional: black ribbon for choker
Not exactly twins, but it works.

I wore the Cinderella costume for the 10k and not the Disney Half Marathon because I wasn’t sure if my hair would stay. Luckily, it stayed great for 6.2 miles! I used this Hot Bun and tons of bobby pins. I have A LOT Of hair so this was a Christmas miracle.
After the race I even took a walk and it was still up! Well, except for that shark fin trying to break free…
Dressing up for Run Disney races is half the fun! I always try to think up a costume that is easy to make and run in too.

Question: Halloween is coming! Are you dressing up?
Suzanne Williams News says
That’s a really cute idea. I haven’t ran dressed in costumes..ever. I think I’m going to try this one.
Btw, I really like your upper arm muscles.

You look adorable! Great costume!
John @ run. geek. run(disney) says
Thanks for sharing. I love that it was a “no Martha required” costume. Costumes is a great part of runDisney.
Julie @ Run Away Freckles says
Halloween is so much pressure! I never know what to be and putting together a costume always seems so hard. But then you get tortured if you don’t dress up. I still have no idea what will happen with my possible costume this year.
Deborah Brooks @ Confessions of a Mother Runner says
Loved your hair in the hot bun did it stay while you ran?
Becky @ Ok, so here's the plan says
I think people’s costumes are so cute, but I’ve never run in costume before.
I didn’t dress up for Halloween last year, and I’m not sure if I will this year or not. I may just be at home handing out candy to the neighborhood kiddos.
Daisy @ Fit Wanderlust Runner says
I think this has been one of my favorite costumes you’ve posted just because it looks so easy and still comfortable to run in. Maybe next year I’ll sign up for a Disney race. They aren’t in my budget right now. Those races are soo costly!
Leslie @ Life Begins @ 30? says
Super cute running costume. I will be in Puerto Rico on my honeymoon this year for Halloween, so I am not dressing up. I’m totally lazy when it comes to costumes…like I wear scrubs and call myself a nurse. 🙂
Sarah @ Sweet Miles says
Oh! Love this! My best friend and I are running the WDW Marathon in January and are looking for ideas for our costumes!! This looks so easy!
Carrie (This Fit Chick) says
hah you look adorable!! YES I plan on being mrs. claus with my boyfriend!
sally @ sweat out the small stuff says
I’m not dressing up but i did get a costume for my dog. LOL! He’s going to be a football player….a “lineBARKER” to be exact.
Tricia says
I’m planning on dressing up but I don’t have a clue on what I want to be! EEEKKK! I was a black cat last year because it was cheep and easy but I want to do something cooler this year because that costume was lame! Hahha
Inez says
I’ve had such a tough time deciding on a costume this year! Now that we’ve made plans to go to our neighborhood’s Halloween block party, I think I’ve landed on Minnie Mouse. Maybe my black lab can be Goofy?

I love when people pair up with their dogs!
