1. Show your “Diamond” Disney Side
One of the many things that make runDisney races unique is the creative outfits that runners wear. From classic Disney characters to princesses to villains, we have seen it all on our courses. With this year not only being the 10th anniversary of our race, but also the 60th anniversary of the Disneyland Resort, we challenge runners to show their “Diamond” Disney Side!

You don’t have to be a runner to join in on the excitement! A special 10th Anniversary Party will kick off the weekend at Disneyland park, where guests will enjoy entertainment and attractions as well as an exclusive viewing of the “Paint the Night” parade.

  • Will the Pasta in the Park Party tickets be available at the expo? The web site says that the registration has ended for purchase when we tried to order a couple this morning. Thank you.

  • Just wondering how many tickets are being sold for the 10th Anniversay Party. It is currently 67% – how many people will be allowed in the private area from 9pm – midnight. Would love to attend but not if it is super crowded!

  • When will you post photos of merchandise that will be available celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Disneyland Half Marathon at the EXPO?
