Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend 2013 – The Rest of the Weekend

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Believe it or not, we did things OTHER than run for the three+ days we were in Anaheim over Labor Day weekend. 🙂 Here’s some highlights. We stayed at the DVC Villas at the Grand Californian. At first I wasn’t too thrilled with our room location…here’s a view from outside the elevator lobby of the … Continue reading "Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend 2013 – The Rest of the Weekend"

Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend 2013 – Half Marathon

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Laura Gilbreath shares day 2 of the Dumbo Double Dare, which was the Disneyland Half Marathon. "Whew...it was a very warm day for a half marathon (even warmer than it was on Marathon Sunday at WDW in January), but we did it, and added another DL Half Marathon medal and the new Dumbo Double Dare medal to our bling collection. 2:28:14 for me and 2:28:50 for Lee. Considering the heat I was very happy to finish in less than 2:30."

Disneyland Half Marathon 2012 – Part 2

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Another Disneyland Half Marathon completed! We had a very good race, and finished in 2:25:30, which is a really good time for us in a Disney race since we stop for photos – though we didn’t stop for all the characters this time. This year the half marathon started a little earlier – at 5:45 … Continue reading "Disneyland Half Marathon 2012 – Part 2"

Disneyland Half Marathon 2012 – Part 1

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Labor Day weekend - that means it's once again time for the Disneyland Half Marathon! We will be running it Sunday morning with 16,998 of our closest friends (and a number of Team AllEars teammates, as well). This will be the 7th Disneyland Half Marathon, and our 5th time running it. We really enjoy it. They have tweaked the parks part of the course again this year because Cars Land and Buena Vista Street our now open! So we'll get to run through Cars Land tomorrow. We've made a long weekend of it, and arrived on Friday night. We are using our DVC points to stay at the Villas at the Grand Californian (we love this resort). We're on the 5th floor, and this was what we saw when we arrived in our room Friday night! Grizzly Peak and a blue moon over the Tower of Terror. We can also see the Cadillac Range in Cars Land through the trees. It's a great location.

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
The 2011 Disneyland Half Marathon started bright and early at 6:00 a.m. on Sunday, September 4. The nice thing about the Disneyland race as opposed to the Disney World races is that most of the hotels (certainly all of the Disney hotels) is within walking distance of the start, so you don’t have to get … Continue reading "2011 Disneyland Half Marathon – Race Day"

2011 Disneyland Half Marathon – The Results

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
I’ll have a more detailed half marathon report tomorrow – it’s been a long and busy day. After the race this morning we spent time in the parks and saw World of Color tonight, so I haven’t had time to write anything up yet. The important part is that Lee and I both finished the … Continue reading "2011 Disneyland Half Marathon – The Results"
