Season 2 of Running to the Castle Podcast w/ Dr. Ali Marty

Episode 128 Corral Placement 2025 runDisney Races

In this episode of Running to the Castle you’ll learn what you actually need to know if you’re starting in a later corral, what challenges to plan for, and how to train for weaving, fatigue, and pacing when you’re not running straight from the start line.

If you’re starting in a back corral at a runDisney race, no one really warns you what that means for your race-day experience.

From standing around in the dark for over an hour before the start… to weaving around walkers and runners in crowded early miles… to managing bathroom breaks, staying warm, and balancing food and hydration…

Your race looks different — and it takes a different kind of preparation.

Hi! I’m Ali. I’ve been in the health and wellness space since graduating with a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2012. I worked in the typical outpatient clinic with active men and women with orthopedic injuries (shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, muscle and ligament tears, knee pain, IT Band pain, plantar fasciitis, and hip and knee arthritis until 2018 at which point I started Mobile Physical Therapy in Las Vegas, Nevada. Over the past few years I’ve transitioned to helping women running runDisney races after they’ve had an injury and they want to finish strong and enjoy the rest of their runcation.
