Runners Are Bananas | Walt Disney World Contest By Chiquita
Runners, you’ve heard the joke, right?
Seems like a lot of work for a free banana!
Maybe. But when it’s a Chiquita banana the reward is as sweet as the journey to get to it. Especially when that journey takes you through Walt Disney World® as part of a runDisney event.
Here are a few reasons bananas are worth running the World for:
- They are almost all carbohydrate. This means the energy from a banana is easily used for our bodies before and after a run.
- They are also super high in potassium, which you lose through sweating on those longer distances. You want to replenish that before any cramps can set it. Bananas will do that for you.
- They are also easy on the tummy if you have pre-race nerves, and their handy dandy natural wrap makes it portable as well.
- The best reason? They taste delish!
Chiquita and Walt Disney World are teaming up for a sweet promotion.

To get you in the right Walt Disney World frame of mind, here are a few fun facts you may not know about the parks.
Expedition Everest® attraction at Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park is the tallest of 18 mountainthemed attractions created by Walt Disney Imagineering at Disney Parks worldwide! Check it out here.
Did you know that the Walt Disney World® Resort is so big that it takes nearly 70,000 cast members to keep it running, 13 million bottles of water a year to keep it hydrated, and 285,000 pounds of laundry every day to keep it clean. Wow! Read more Disney Fun Facts.
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is not like regular roller coasters, each mine car in this coaster is mounted in a cradlelike pivot, which allows it to swing side to side independently of the others. Find out more here.
