- Was the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend everything I hoped, dreamed, and expected it to be? Yes and no. I went into this weekend knowing that there was probably going to be some things that runDisney probably still needed to figure out. They haven't had races in Disneyland for 7 years. And, I knew that they were going to be such a different feel than the races at Disney World. But, I will say I still had a BLAST during the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend! Does Disneyland races still have a lot to figure out logistically? Absolutely. But I know as time goes on, there will be changes to make the races better.
With that being said, I would HANDS DOWN come back to the races here in Disneyland! It was sooo different than the Disney World races, and I truly liked that. It's Walt's first park! I got to run where he once walked! How cool is that?! I will say out of the three races I ran, the 5k was my favorite, and the 10k was a close second! You got to spend so much time in the parks!

Those reflectors were no joke! I also tripped but managed to catch myself.
Right?! lol Glad you were able to catch yourself! I heard of sooo many people tripping and falling during this race. The one thing that made this race hard was all the tripping hazards out on the road.
As a WDW runner the amount of obstacles on this course, train/trolly tracks, reflectors, garbage cans, speed bumps, 180 degree turns, potentially slippery boardwalk, on this course without the familiar "caution runner ______ ahead" was the biggest downgrade from the WDW races.
I was running with the 2:00 pace group and one of the pacers tripped on the train tracks around mile 8 in Anaheim. @@passporttorun
I have loved listening to the Rise and Run podcast, and now I love viewing your Passport to Run videos. I’ve not yet done a Disney run, hoping to do Wine and Dine this year. You seem so awesome, fun and funny, and I feel so inspired by you!
Thank you so much! And you should! The themes for Wine and Dine are sooo good! Which races are you signing up for?
You are so inspiring. I did the 10k and half virtually. With a bit more training I’ll be able to do these in person and not get swept. Your videos keep my fire lit. Thank you for posting. Hope to see you in the race soon.
Thank you so much! And you can do it! Can't wait to hear what race you will sign up for! You're going to have a blast! Hope to see you in a race soon!
Thank you for the race recap. I am so sorry you fell. Congratulations on your Coast-to-Coast Challenge races!
When I was in the corrals, I said to my friend how those reflectors were a menace and someone was gonna hurt themselves. I hope you’re OK. Thanks for recording the race. It’s really great to go back relive some of those great memories
Thank you for asking. It was definitely a hard fall, but luckily I was almost to the finish and the medical tent was right there:) Those reflectors were a huge tripping hazard, and will definitely make sure that I am looking at the ground more on the next race. And thank you so much! I've been dreaming about running at Disneyland for a while now, and so happy to have had the chance to run it. There's are a good bit of things that Disneyland needs to change for the races, but overall I would definitely go back and run at Disneyland again.
Love your videos! I’m going to try my first dopey in 2025! Just a suggestion but I’d love to see a collection video of all the medals you have got from any running event!
I love that idea! I'll definitely put that on the schedule for videos! Thank you for that idea!
Those reflectors were awful, saw so many people fall on them. Glad you were ok and great run!
They truly were awful. lol I was worried about tripping on them the whole back half of the race. And thank you! Still had a lot of fun despite the fall:)
