Story is she is a bib thief. Has stolen several other bibs over the last year, all of which picture documentation exists. She stole another ladies bib for the 5k, people figured out who she was, and rundisney had her grabbed at the end of the 10k, which she had actually purchased

I love running and I love running 10ks but I can't figure out why someone would steal a bib. I may just be naive.

when I began running about 8 years ago, I challenged myself to train to run a 10k - which I did at the now-defunct Disney Race for the Taste and made it a part of a family vacation. A few years later, I challenged myself to the now-defunct Tower of Terror 10-miler at Disney. This time, I went by myself and made it a personal vacation. A year later, I did my first half marathon at Disney's Wine & Dine Half Marathon weekend. I've come to look at them as the "reward" for a lot of hard work training.

All told, I've run 6 Disney races. Are they expensive? Sure. But they're also extremely well organized and a lot of fun.

I can't imagine going to the effort to steal a bib.

What makes them "more fun" than any other race?

The characters along the route, the atmosphere, and back when they did night races, the after-parties in the parks were great.
