Food after Disneyland Half Marathon?

Hi. I was wondering if anyone who has run the DL half marathon in the past remembers what kind of refreshments or food they have for the runners after the race? Thanks!

I can tell you what they had at the tinkerbell half- bagels, fruit...maybe an energy bar? I passed on all of it. I've run 15 half marathons and I've learned to be pretty selective about what I eat after a race.

Also note the clif shot packs handed out around mile 9 all had double caffeine (I got 2). So unusable to me (not a fan of double while running that far!)

They also had Cliff fruit ropes at Tink which are really good. It looks like a piece of licorice or "rope". It's pretty much a fruit leather or strip, the all fruit kind not like fruit roll ups. Cliff's also a sponsor for DL, so hopefully they'll be back. I think the water after is Dasani and they've also had small bottles of Powerade.

Thank you! This helps a lot. I've seen everything from fruit, to energy bars, to breakfast burritos. I just wanted to know what to expect.

Just thought of another thing in response to the OP's cliff shots during the race... I think they're closer in the DL race than in Tink, b/c I think they are in the same spot as they were. It's along Anaheim Blvd, before we turn the corner onto Cerritos. If it's not on that street, it'll be on State College Blvd. So one of those to streets if the course stays the same. Don't think there's anything after to purchase, but DTD's right there so you can pick something up there or on the way to the start. Some of the restaurant types will open early pre race.
