Figment Running Costume Assembly

Assembling your Figment 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 Figment by choosing a Sparkle Athletic in the color of lilac, pink & orange - our Figment of Imagination Running Skirt is the perfect choice! 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 Figment inspired look by selecting a lilac 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. You can add Figment's pink "belly" to your shirt using fabric paint, felt, or even vinyl.

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.

    Figment 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 purple running shoes (while they aren’t necessary, matching running shoes really are the “icing on the cake”) - if you can't find purple running shoes (or prefer wearing your favorite pair), you can cover your shoes in purple KT Tape, or opt for purple shoelaces to add a pop of color.
    • {one} pair of purple compression socks
    • orange dragon wings: purchase wings, or make your own from foam and attach them to your tank
    • figment horns: purchase ears, or make your own from felt, & attach them to the visor

    Rock Your Costume with Confidence

    Congratulations! You've successfully crafted your very own Figment Dragon running costume. Now, as you step onto the race course, embody Figment's curious and imaginative personality. Whether you're racing for a new personal record or simply enjoying the magical atmosphere, your costume will add an extra layer of joy and whimsy to your run. So, tie your shoelaces, put on your horns, and run with the same playful enthusiasm that defines Figment in Epcot's world of imagination!
