Conquering the World with Run Disney VIP, Kayla Allene Betz-Swope
This week, we catch up with Kayla Allene Betz-Swope, an avid RunDisney athlete with an incredible story to tell. Kayla got her start by running the Haunted 5k on her wedding weekend in 2014 and then the Light Side Half Marathon the following spring. To date, her running career has included over 65 races and 20+ race weekends. This would be quite the accomplishment for anyone, but when you consider that Kayla is also a visually impaired athlete who relies on guides while racing, you recognize how huge this accomplishment is. In this episode, Kayla talks about the challenges of competing, the joy of running with the Run Disney community, and two of the world's best pacers, Sean and Joe.
