Disneyland Half Marathon

[surgefest]

Does anyone know what the spectator viewing is like for the Disneyland Half Marathon? Are guests aloud into the parks to watch the runners at the beginning of the race?? will they be able to get from the park to the finish line without much of a problem or do they have area's roped off that would prevent that?? Also insight or tips would be greatly apprecaited. Thanks!

The start and finish lines are outside of the parks, near the DLH. You can access those areas, but they are CROWDED! It might be hard to see a specific runner if you are there to cheer someone on. May make sense to set up a bit away from the start/finish lines if you want to see them. You can find the course map at the DLHM site

As for watching from inside the parks, no, you can't do that, the HM is run before parks open, so only runners and CMs will be able to access the parks.

There is a "family reunion" area past the finish line where you can meet up with you people after the race. it's crowded, but not too tough to find folks.

Have fun!
