Neverland 5K at Disneyland



Thanks to the good people at runDisney, I was given a comp entry to the Neverland 5K Fun Run in Disneyland last night.  The race took place at 10:30 pm and went through the park.  I hadn't been to Disneyland since  I was in 2nd or 3rd grade, so the experience was sort of interesting.  Everything was much smaller than I remembered.  As a kid, everything seemed so huge and and overwhelming (in a good way), but perspectives change as you age.  I went by Splash Mountain and didn't even recognize it initially, as it seemed so much smaller.  Nevertheless, the run was a lot of fun and something not many people will ever get to do.

My only complaints were that the course was so crowded that it was difficult to actually run.  I had to keep reminding myself that it was a fun run and not get frustrated.  However, I still wanted to run the event.  There was plenty of on-course entertainment and characters to thoroughly entertain everyone.

The run was an insane $109 to register for if you had to pay it, but that included a pass to the park, so its not as bad as it sounds.
