• Comments: This is a destination half mary for a lot of folks...lots of first timers (and walkers) and a heavily female field. The organizers make changes to it each year and mostly these are improvements. Much more of the course was in Disneyland proper this year, which had to please the destination racers. Generally a very, very flat course built for PRs for veteran runners and a good chance at finishing for first timers. There is a cutoff, though, based on a 16:00/mile pace. Great finisher medal. Lots of course support and fun sights...including the new touch this year of running through Angels Stadium.

• Comments: Very well run race. Lots of stuff going on. Very entertaining. Obviously, Disney knows how to handle thousands of people at a time. I would definitely do this one again.
