I was signed up for the half and the 5k. I was super excited. I ended up only being able to do the half. The cons getting to the expo took up half a day of park time, and you have to be on the buses super early. the pros, disney puts on a great race. The 5k is untimed but it's hard to run for time I was in corral b and wave 2 or 3, but that meant I started about 30 min after the gun went off. I got to the race at 4am. Disney has buses taking you to and from the race that are awesome. They have characters on the course, they have treats at the expo. I thought the half marathon shirt was better then the 5k shirt. The 5k food afterwards was just okay. Running though epcot was amazing and I had the memory maker so all my photos were free.

SO since I worked for a company that also had a race division for 8 years, I get picky when it comes to races. I loved everything about this race, and was so surprised. First of all it opened up solider field parking garage so you could park there. then packet pick up was also easy. They had a high school choir singing Christmas carols, there were blow up Santa's everywhere. They had corral starts, there were cookie and candy stations on the course and at the finish line. And for race swag you received socks, hat, beard and t-shirt. And running on the lakefront with 1000s of santa's was fun. Also the race was competitive. You don't normally see people running in Santa suits running hard. I am not in shape to run fast but I like to try my best and I like it when the race has fast runners , it keeps me honest.
