Chad Johnson and Emily Mortensen, both of Rochester Hills, Mich., were the top men’s and women’s finishers in the Disney Half Marathon this morning.
The 13.1-mile race, which began and ended at Epcot, featured almost 23,000 runners who competed despite rain, sleet and flurries and temperatures in the low 30s.

The weekend’s marquee event, the Disney Marathon, is set for tomorrow morning, which may see a record low cold temperature. The National Weather Service has issued a wind chill warning from 9 tonight to 10 a.m. Sunday. A wind chill warning means a combination of very strong winds and cold temperatures will create “dangerously” low wind chill values.
