The Avengers Super Heroes Half Marathon Weekend coming to the Disneyland Resort fall 2014

This morning, runDisney announced an exciting new running and race experience coming to the Disneyland Resort this fall. The Avengers Super Heroes Half Marathon Weekend will take place November 14 through 16, 2014 and will feature three days of super hero fun, including kids’ races, a 5K and a half marathon. With Super Hero-themed entertainment and characters, the Avengers Super Heroes Half Marathon Weekend will be a truly unique runDisney experience.

Given the fact that I live in a home with three boys (a fourth, if you count my husband), who LOVE super heroes and comic books, this event is a slam dunk for our family. In fact, my husband and I, who are not exactly in the greatest shape, have decided to blow the dust off our old running shoes and start training now for November. (I will write updates on our process here on the blog or on the Babes In Disneyland Facebook page.)

The Avengers event is expected to be in high demand much like other runDisney race weekends, which have sold out in record time in recent years. Overall, runDisney race weekends attracted more than 163,900 runners last year – a 40 percent increase over the previous year, making the runDisney series one of the largest in the nation.

The Avengers Half Marathon Weekend will be the eighth runDisney event and third at Disneyland Resort, joining the Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend (May 7-10, 2015) and the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend (Aug. 28-31, 2014) at Disneyland Resort. The Avengers Half Marathon course will be a new 13.1-mile route through the Disneyland Resort and surrounding areas that will differ from the Tinker Bell and Disneyland half marathon courses. Runners who successfully brave the new Avengers Half Marathon course will receive a commemorative Avengers-themed finishers’ medal.
