Does Anyone know

Hi everyone I am new to running & one of my goals is to complete the The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 5K run in 2010 I am just wondering what the pace is. Thanks

It's a 18-minute per mile pace.

Thanks for the help!

May be a dumb question, but why is this race pace slower? Most of the others are 16 minutes.

This is just a guess but I imagine it is because of the shorter distance. Disney wants the half and full marathons to finish earlier so they can open that parks so having a faster pace requirement helps that. The ToT and RFTT runs have only have a 10K and 13K as their maximum distance so they can afford to slow the minimum pace down without having to keep the course open so long.

The TOT also might be a slower pace because it's held at night. So there's no big need to have the streets opened up at a certain time, plus the park is closed.
