Rachel Booth wins Disney Princess Half Marathon
For the second straight year Rachel Booth has won the Disney’s Princess Half Marathon at Walt Disney World.
The Mandeville, La. runner is the only woman to win four runDisney races – two Princess Half Marathons (2012 and 2013) and two Disneyland Half Marathons (2010 and 2011).
Booth’s latest win over 26,000 runners took 1:17:38 – 33 seconds faster than her then-record time of 1:18:11 a year ago. Coming in second was Mia Elbon of Nashville, Tenn. at 1:18:04 and coming in third was Megan Jaswell of Johnston, Rhode Island at 1:26:47.
“It never gets old, for sure,” Booth said in a Disney news release. “As I got to Mile 7 and 8 and through Mile 10, I got to see some people (cheering) and that definitely gave me extra incentive.”
