Are you Joy or Sadness? Woody or Buzz? Mike or Sully? This year, participants in the runDisney 2017 Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend will need to decide those though questions as the theme has been revealed to be Pixar films.
The event – held from August 31, 2017 through September 3, 2017 – lets runners dress as their favorite Disney characters as they run through downtown Anaheim and into the parks.

Disney marathons are a great way to combine fun, fandom and fitness, and have seen a huge upswing in popularity since their introduction in 1994.
If you’re interested in participating in the Disneyland Half Marathon (or any other runDisney event) but don’t know where to start, we recommend reaching out to a travel agency that specializes in runDisney events like Mickey Vacations by Academy Travel.
