So as you know, yesterday I did the Disneyland 5K. It was SOOO much fun!! It was the first annual so I am definintely going to be back next year to do this again. :) About the race...it was themed from Pirates of the Caribbean which was awesome because that is one of my favorite movies. It started at the parking structure with a huge "Start" banner with pirates symbols on each side. About 3000 people did the race and it was a family fun run too so there were a lot of kids. I even saw a man who's son was in a wheelchair and he was pushing him through the race as he ran. And another dad was in the wheelchair himself and he was carrying his little son on his lap as they rolled through the race! Very cool. So they had a pirate and Mickey and Minnie dressed as pirates at the beginning cheering us on and they played the music from the movie to start us going (really got me ready to go!) Then we went through the tram path to Disneyland. The course went all through Disneyland and in every land the Disney character that went there were there to cheer us on, like Woody and Jessie in Frontierland and Sleeping Beauty on her castle. Then we went over to CA Adventure where they had a bunch of characters too like the cars from Cars, Flik from A Bug's Life and Lilo and Stitch. The race ended in the Hollywood section of CA Adventure and ended with Pirates music to push us to the end. I brought my camera along so I will post pictures after this. I would definitely recommend this race to anyone who loves Disneyland and will be down here in September. The sign ups for next year start November 15th. It fills up really fast and will probably be faster this year so if you want to do it let me know and I will let you know where to sign up!
