This weekend at the Disneyland Resort, runners will join Tinker Bell, Peter Pan, the lost boys, and TV sitcom star Megyn Price (Rules of Engagement) at the three day inaugural Tinker Bell Half Marathon. On this Sunday, January 29, Megyn will be among the 11,082 female and 920 male runners who will be earning their “wings” by running along the 13.1 mile trek through Disneyland, California Adventure, and Anaheim city landmarks. Megyn, and the other runners in this women focused half marathon, will receive an exclusive Tinker Bell inspired inaugural Finisher medal. The pixie dust will begin to fly when the race begins at 5:45 am.
Though the main event will take place on Sunday, the Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend will kick off tomorrow, January 27, with the Never Land Family Fun Run. This warm up fun run will take adults, teens, and tweens on a nighttime 5K course through the Disneyland Resort. On Saturday, January 28, little ones will walk, toddle, and crawl at the Disney Kids’ Races. The kids’ dashes include a Diaper Dash for crawlers 12 months and under, a 100m dash for 1-3 year olds, a 200m dash for 4-6 year olds, and a 400m dash for 7-8 year olds. There will also be a one mile run for children 13 years old and under.
Runners, friends and family of runners, and spectators can show their support and participation in the inaugural Tinker Bell Half Marathon by visiting the Half Marathon Expo Center at the Disneyland Hotel from January 27-28. There, you can pick up merchandise, including fashion, novelty and performance tees, hats, souvenirs, and more.
