Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend 2026

Security was super smooth at opening, no handoff of personal items, just walk through. Major improvement from my last 10k.

That’s a fun course. But my ankles are barking. Lots of sharp turns. Even had their own mini Contemporary hill. Lol

Was anyone able to walk to the start area from Disneyland Hotel via Downtown Disney/Entrance Plaza this morning?

Trying to plan for tomorrow…thanks!

Sorcerer Mickey was at the finish, apparently allowing selfies but I passed it up bc i wasn’t sure if it would be safe to stop over.

Holy cow, the lines to get in DCA. Yesterday was nice at DL with the low crowds. Looks like today is going to be a little busier.

Correction, a lot busier. You know it’s crowded when they have ropes set up inside quick service restaurants.

If anyone is headed to the Expo today and is going to the Brooks booth, can you post if they have any of the white/blue rD Adrenaline left. Didn’t get any MW but now thinking I may try to grab a pair if any are left.

The whole balloon lady thing is just weird because the 5K is not timed and they never have them in that race. My mom was the last finisher once (at MK) and was on the course for about two and a half hours. Yes, they shortened the course and cut off characters then, but not until much later in the race. There were only a few dozen people impacted.

You'd think of they were suddenly going to enforce a shorter time limit on an untimed race, they'd have communicated it better. I'm not there, but everyone impacted seemed very surprised.

Oh wow, really? Do you not get a timing chip in the 5K? Have only done 10K and HM.

For today's 10K, thought everything went really smoothly - was really happy with the course, the crowds, and characters. Security was a breeze, and the course didn't seem to have any of the super tight turns or bottlenecks I've run into in the past.

For characters, I've don't stop so don't usually keep count, but it was enough to keep me entertained running by them! Completely missed Mickey at the end (was so focused on that finish line!) and didn't see him until we swung back to watch other finishers.
