Ready, set, boo! I mean, run! Welcome to planDisney, Cheryl. We're so glad you hustled on over to ask us this question. Race weekend is almost here so let's make sure you're ready and set to go.
How exciting that your daughter will be running the 5K during the
Disneyland Halloween Half Marathon Weekend. There's nothing like seeing your family and friends on the course to give you that extra boost of energy and I'm so glad to hear that you'll be there to cheer your daughter on. According to the
Digital Expo & Event Guide for the weekend,
spectator viewing for the 5K is located near the Finish Line at Pixar Pier in Disney California Adventure Park. To access this area, you can enter through the gate near World of Disney in Downtown Disney District. If you attend the
runDisney Health & Fitness Expo with your daughter when she picks up her bib, I recommend double-checking to confirm this with a Cast Member.
It's going to be a spooktacular and energizing weekend. I ran the 5K during the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend earlier this year and had an absolute blast. There's nothing more magical than running through the theme parks. I loved seeing all of the costumed runners on the course. There will be plenty of
Disney PhotoPass photographers taking pictures along the way too, so make sure that her bib number is visible so she can collect all those snaps after the race! Once she crosses the finish line, I hope you will both be celebrating in the parks! My first stop after the race was a celebratory churro.
Cheryl, I hope this is helpful as you and your daughter are gearing up for race weekend. Please come back to visit us with any other questions that we can help with. Here's wishing your daughter a most magical run through the Happiest Place on Earth!
