The Event Staff is not responsible for any lost, damaged, or stolen items.

Bib Numbers

Each runner will be issued a bib number at Packet Pick-Up. It is the responsibility of the runner to wear the bib during the race. If a runner is seen without their bib number while running on the course, they will be removed from the course for security and safety reasons. Please remember to fill out the Emergency Medical Information on the back of the bib number.

Timing & Results

The Disneyland® Half Marathon is a timed event with a 16 minute per mile pace requirement. Anyone not able to maintain the respective paces may be picked up and transported to the finish. You may be picked up at any point along the course for not maintaining pace. The ChronoTrack timing system will be used for this race. A ChronoTrack timing B-tag will be located on the back of the race bib. Do not remove, bend or break the ChronoTrack B-tag. The ChronoTrack B-tag records your official and net times. The net time is the time it takes you to get from the start line mats to the finish line mats and will be used to determine scoring for awards. Please do not alter the ChronoTrack B-tag in any way. Without the B-tag, your official time WILL NOT be recorded.

Results will be posted at runDisney.com/Disneyland following the conclusion of the race.

SAFETY REMINDER

For the safety of yourself and the other participants, baby joggers, strollers, baby carriers, baby backpacks, inline skates, motorized scooters, bicycles, skateboards, canes, crutches, walkers, walking sticks and animals of any kind are prohibited from the course. If you are seen in violation of one of these you will be removed from the course and transported to the finish line area.

Headphones are discouraged due to audio messages that are placed throughout the course to ensure your safety.

You are allowed to and even encouraged to wear a costume while running the event, however, your costume cannot include a face mask for security and safety reasons. Anyone seen in violation of this will be removed from the course. If your costume is questionable or offensive to others, we reserve the right to either have you change into something more appropriate or remove you from the event.

WEATHER

The race will be held rain or shine. If there is lightning in the area the race will either have a delayed start or, depending on the intensity of the weather, be cancelled. The determination will be made by the Event Management staff.

The Disneyland® Resort Lightning Policy
Event operations will shut down when lightning is 10 miles out from the event areas. Event operations will not resume until the lightning is 10 miles out moving away from the event areas. Sports Manager will determine this using the *Flash to Bang Rule* and weather radar. The Sports Manager will consult with Disneyland® Resort Management on a course of action to utilize the operational rain plan, delay the event, or cancel the event.

*Flash to Bang Rule* is applied by measuring the time (in seconds) between a visual lightning "Flash" and hearing the resulting "Bang". This time is then divided by a factor of "5" to obtain distance in miles. For example, 50 seconds between "Flash" and "Bang" divided by "5" equals 10 miles.

As a reminder, the registration fees are non-refundable.

Disneyland® Half Marathon Weekend

Course Maps
