If you’re looking to gain tips and training advice from Jeff Galloway, he will also be available at the upcoming Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend Expo on Friday at 12:15 and 7 p.m. PT and Saturday at 9:15 a.m. and 4 p.m. PT. Also, there is additional Galloway training information at www.runDisney.com.
To kick off the upcoming Disneyland Half Marathon, runDisney will be hosting a Meet-Up and Warm-Up to get runners revved up for the seventh annual event weekend.
Thirty selected applicants will get an opportunity to get their “kicks on Route 66” during a special training run through Disney California Adventure park and its newest addition, Cars Land.
Following the Jeff Galloway-led run, selected applicants will also meet a couple of special guests, including three-time Olympian and former American 1000m record holder Suzy Favor Hamilton. As always, there will be surprises along the way.
If you don’t want to be left in the dust, RSVP right now to DLR.SportsMeetUps@Disney.com. Only 30 qualified runners will be selected to participate, so be one of the first to apply.
In the meantime, here are a few things you should know:
- All participants must be available for a 6 a.m. PT start time on Friday, August 31.
- Qualified applicants will be selected on a first-come, first-served basis.
- A valid ID is required. Participants must be 18 years of age or older.
- Limit to one RSVP per email address.
- Valid RSVPs must include your name. RSVPs that include more than one person or are missing information (e.g. incomplete names) will not be accepted.
- Admittance to the event is non-transferable and limited to the selected applicant; no additional guests please.
- The event and individual appearances are subject to change or cancellation.
- Because this is a running-oriented event, we ask that applicants be experienced runners, able to maintain a 12-minute per mile pace (qualified).
- Selected applicants attending the meet-up are not required to purchase admission.
- We will send an email to selected applicants who sent their valid RSVP via email before we reached capacity to confirm their attendance for Friday. We plan to send this email at approximately 2 p.m. PT today, and we will also post a link on the Disney Parks Blog that will include a list of names of all selected runners. If you do not receive an email from us confirming your reservation and your name does not appear on the list of selected applicants, your RSVP was not selected.
