Disneyland Half Marathon Costume Ideas

I just simply cannot decide on a costume for the Disneyland Half Marathon. Here are the things three main goals that I have for a costume:

1. Comfortable. I don't want to be running 13.1 miles in something that is chafing or extremely uncomfortable the entire time. So, I am looking for athletic clothing that could be interpreted as a Disney character.
2. Recognizable. This is the one I am struggling with. I have found great athletic clothes that go with the color scheming of some Disney characters but I'm not so sure if people will recognize the character just based on the colors in my outfit.
3. Affordable. This one would help a lot. I don't want to spend too much money.

I am proud to announce that I have narrowed my choices down to three characters!

1. The Little Mermaid. I would love to be her but I don't know if people will recognize that I am Ariel if I just wear a purple top and green shorts.

2. Rapunzel. This idea I got from Through Heather's Looking glass. She did this look for the Princess Half Marathon and I thought it was so cute! I would basically wear a purple top and shorts and then buy the mini Pascal bean bag and pin him to my shoulder. The only problem I have with this is Pascal. I don't know if he will be super comfortable on my shoulder.

3. Minnie. It's cute. It's classic. It's recognizable. And I would get to wear ears :)


Hopefully I can make up my mind before the race and post my outfit soon!

QOTD: Which costume would you wear to the Disneyland Half Marathon?
