Running with mandy was way behind my pace but that was ok as I had the full the next day.

Event comments:

The race is very well organized but you have to wait forever to start the race and then once it starts you have to wait for your chance to go.

How they broke up the corrals is beyond me! The time I entered was faster than what Mandy entered and she was a corral ahead of me.

I would do it again but it was more of a bucket list item.

Performance:
Course: The course is very flat and wraps around through some of the parks. Lots of characters out on the course so you stop and get pictures taken...it's a blast. I think we waited over 5 minutes for a picture with Buzz Lightyear and worth every second wait. This wasn't so much a race as it was an event. Just an enjoyable time was had by Mandy and myself. We got pictures of all over the place and it was quite the memory that was made. Running through the castle and having all those people cheer for you was pretty amazing.
