Ready, set, run! Welcome to planDisney, Courtney. We're so glad you raced over here to bring us this question. It won't be long until you'll be lacing up your shoes and logging your magical miles through the Happiest Place on Earth.
I'm so excited to hear that you will be running the
Half Marathon during the
Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend. There's nothing quite like running through the theme parks before they've opened. I checked the
half marathon map in the
Digital Expo & Event Guide, but it looks like the Hydration Stops are not marked on the map.
Hmm, this is quite curiouser and curiouser. While I can't say with absolute certainty, I was able to find some course maps from previous years which indicate that there should be about 8 stations total, placed about every mile and a half or so. The hydration stations typically offer both water and an electrolyte drink. This, of course, is subject to change for this year and I recommend continuing to check the site for an updated map. You can also ask a friendly Cast Member at the
Health & Fitness Expo when you pick up your race bib and shirt.
This is such a fun and magical weekend. I always love seeing all of the fun costumes that runners put together. You just never know who you'll encounter on the course. Make sure your bib number is clearly visible to collect all of the memorable moments throughout the course. Your photos on the course are included and can be linked after the race. Check out the "Photos" section in the
"Important Information" area of the site for instructions on how to link them and relive every mile.
Well, Courtney, I hope this has been helpful as we get closer and closer to the starting line. If there's anything else that we can help with, please come back to visit us. You've been preparing for this and you're almost there. Have a great run, have fun and enjoy your momentous and magical achievement!
