Expo: This was my first runDisney race, so I don't know if this is always the case or just the exception. I found the Expo to be rather small. I was expecting vendors to have samples of their products and that wasn't the case. There was an area with the exclusive merchandise for the weekend. It was crowded, but I was still able to get the things I was looking for. If you're an Annual Passholder or a Disney Credit Card holder, you get a discount at checkout.

Swag: The swag consisted of a long-sleeve technical shirt and a clear plastic bag. That's it!

Course: The course ran through the back allies of both California Adventure and Disneyland. In fact, it seemed like the course was mostly on back roads and not as much in the parks. There were holographic projections of the various Avenger symbols along the way to let you know you were on track and as a reminder of the theme of the race. Parts of the back roads were very narrow and it forced runners to slow down their pace in order to pass all the walkers.

Aid Stations: There were aid stations throughout the course with cups of water and some had pain relieving gel.

Atmosphere: The atmosphere was upbeat. Many of the Disney employees were out cheering the runners on. They seemed sincere and happy to see us there. I didn't have anyone cheering for me in the crowd, so it was nice to have encouragement from the employees.

Post-Race: After you got your medal there was a very long line to get your photo taken with some of the Disney Photographers. I just wanted to get my snack and sit down. There were some standing tables, but not enough for the crowd so I sat on the floor. I thought the snack box was a good selection of healthy items. The banana I got was green and not edible, but other than that there was a variety of sweet and salty treats.

There were aid stations at the end were people could get ice bags for their sore joints or legs.
