approximately 10 miles
 |
The bike is a 10 mile course comprised of 2 x 5-mile loops leaving Disneyland® Resort's parking lot, traveling North on Disneyland Drive and then creating a large box to the east of Disneyland® Resort. You will re-enter the park through the original parking lot of Disneyland® Resort and the historic main gates off Harbor Blvd – one more time around and you will be heading for the run. With the exception of one small hill, the course is flat and fast.
|
approximately 2.5 miles
 |
The run is approximately 2.5 miles in length and touches on the outside of Disneyland® Resort, through the main entrance, weaving through Disney's California Adventure® Park. Runners will enjoy the thrill of running down the tram Road, passing by The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror?, proceeding "backstage" of the Hollywood Pictures Backlot and past some of your favorite attractions before reaching the Finish Line adjacent to the Transition Area in the Timon Parking Lot where the crowds, the excitement and the fun will be waiting. |
