Rate this Entry
MouseAdventure is coming up on Sunday, May 19th (just a couple more weeks!) here's your chance to work out and warm up before the event!

As part of the weekend, I will be leading an informal meet-up run/walk on Saturday, May 18th around the Disneyland Resort. It will have been a little over a month since the Boston Marathon bombings, so I'd like to dedicate this to those who were killed and injured there. Completely optional: Please consider wearing blue and yellow (the colors of the Boston Marathon), or anything else signifying the city of Boston (such as a Boston Red Sox ball cap) to show your support.

Everyone at all fitness levels is welcomed to join. You do not need to be registered for MouseAdventure, or be a regular poster on the Team MousePlanet forum. And you definitely don't need to be an track star! Just wear comfortable shoes and sunscreen, and grab a water bottle (it will likely be warm) for a stroll, walk, jog, or run with us.

WHAT: Team MousePlanet Meet-up Run/Walk for Boston

WHEN: Saturday, May 18th

TIME: We start at 8:00 a.m. Try to arrive by 7:50 or so if you can.

COURSE/DISTANCE: Our primary course will be a 5K (3.1 miles) around the perimeter of the Disneyland Resort. For folks wanting a longer distance, we will be taking the loop twice for approximately 10K (around 6 miles).

The course will start on Magic Way, near the Mickey & Friends parking structure. We'll turn right on Disneyland Drive/West Street and go counterclockwise around the resort, turning left on Katella, left on Harbor, left on Ball, and left on Disneyland Drive.

Because this is not an official fun run, there is no pacing requirement. When you're done, you're done! You are free to stay and cheer others as they come in, or head to Downtown Disney for some brunch, or head home for a shower after the great workout you'll get.

PARKING: Disneyland opens at 9:00am, so you should be able to park at Mickey & Friends parking structure. If you do not want to pay for parking, you should be able to use Downtown Disney parking.

WHERE TO MEET: We will be meeting by the Mickey & Friends parking structure's restroom/escalator area (giving you a chance to fill your water bottles, make a potty stop, etc.), then walk together out to Magic Way. Once we head out, everybody is encouraged to go at their own pace. This is not a race and there will be no official clock.

Feel free to let me know if you'll be able to join. RSVP is not required, but it'll help to get an idea of who'll be there.

If you're staying in town for MouseAdventure, you have no excuse! ;-)
