New Jersey woman wins 2019 Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon

A 24-year-old woman from Warren, N.J. made some magic of her own at Walt Disney World Sunday winning the 10th annual Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon.

Megan Curham became the second female in runDisney race history to finish in first place overall. Curham crossed the finish line in 1:19:17, followed closely by Jeffrey Schneider (1:19:30) of Strongsville, Ohio.

“I’ve been coming to Disney World since I was a very, very young kid, so I love being here, and I love running…so putting them both together has been amazing,” Curham said.

Curham also was the first female finisher at the 2016 Walt Disney World Half Marathon and again at the 2018 Wine & Dine Half Marathon.

Curham finished ahead of Schneider and Gerald Romero, who came in third at 1:20:08. Among the women, Diana Bogantes (1:22:14) came in second followed by Leah Foley (1:29:05).

In 2017, Giovanna Martins made history as the first woman to be the overall winner of a runDisney race. She won the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon with a time of 1:19:16.

The 10th annual Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon weekend included the half marathon, 10K and 5K.
