Mickey Mouse Running Costume Assembly

Assembling your Micky Mouse inspired running costume is pretty self-explanatory...

Embrace the Sparkle with Sparkle Athletic Running Skirts:

The first step to creating the perfect runDisney costume is to select your Sparkle Athletic skirt. Capture the essence of Mickey Mouse by choosing a Sparkle Athletic skirt in shades of red - our Volcano Red or Red running skirt would be perfect! The shimmering fabric will add the perfect touch of sparkle. Plus, the lightweight fabric of the skirts will keep you comfortable throughout your race.

Find a Magical Top:

Complete your Mickey Mouse inspired look by selecting a black running top to pair with your chosen Sparkle Athletic skirt. Consider something that is moisture-wicking, & we'd suggest you opt for a design that allows for ease of movement while running. 

Finish Off Your Look with a Running Visor:

One of our visors is the perfect way to complete your runDisney costume. The visor will not only shield your eyes from the sun but also add a touch of sparkle and magic to your running attire.

Mickey Mouse Running Costume Accessories

No runDisney costume is complete without a sprinkle of fairy tale magic. Consider adding an accessory (or two) to elevate your running ensemble:

• matching yellow running shoes (while they aren’t necessary, matching running shoes really are the “icing on the cake”) - if you can't find yellow running shoes (or prefer wearing your favorite pair), you can cover your shoes in yellow KT Tape, or opt for yellow shoelaces to add a pop of color.
• {one} pair of Black compression socks
• white Mickey Mouse gloves
• yellow bow tie
• Mickey ears - if you've purchased Mickey ears you can wear them with your visor, or make your own & attach them to the visor
• buttons - use two large white buttons, or make them out of felt, & attach them to your skirt or tank (mimicking the buttons on Mickey's shorts)
