• Comments: Maybe it was because I arrived later then I wanted but this is not the race to get a PR on. I guess I should be happy I finished but my time is 30 minutes slower then my other two half marathons. This is a good race for fun but the bottlenecking was pretty frustrating. I would only do this again if I had friends competiting as well. Also I am not sure I like the long runs in the summer when it is warmer then the ones in January-March when it is nice and cool.

• Comments: This is a very well organized race with over 10,000 entrants. Not a lot of serious runners, but more than enough to make it competitive. How can you not like a race through Disneyland? (Nice competitor t-shirt and huge finisher's medal.)

• Comments: Fun fun fun race. The race through the park is exciting with the characters cheering the runners on. BTW... WHY would serious racers who were going for a 1:30 or so STOP in the middle of a race to get pics with characters? The race out of the park is also a lot of fun wiht lots of cheerleaders, bands and dancers. It keeps it all exciting. No fireworks this year, but they did start us off under a flaming start line which was EXTREMELY cool. Thank goodness the temperatures were so much cooler this year than last.

• Comments: I like this race as I am able to mix an event with a family vacation. It's really crowded, but they do a good job. My daughter did one of the kids' races the day before and I may also start doing the 5K on that day. This was my second year doing this event and I'd like to do it every year.
