I'm excited @Davidg83 -- I'm ready to run Anaheim Stadium for the half.

Husband and I are dressing up as Moana and Tomatoa from Moana for the 5K. We have his shell backpack ready to go and now I just need to make the legs and he's good. Now to start making my Moana outfit.

Sounds like fun! Just make sure he's good and shiny!

Yay, now I'm in for the 5k!

If anyone has any good ideas on how I can make a good Heimlich costume for the Half on Sunday, let me know ...

He's going to sparkle like a wealthy woman's neck



Still have to figure out my 10K and Half costumes. I may run again as Disney Villians - feeling inspired by Ursula and Queen of Hearts.

Well, everything re-opening and the Pixar Theme... we booked the 5k and challenge for 3 of us plus the 5k and 10k for my 11 year old. This will be the first time I have ever traveled west of West Virginia in the United States. (We go straight south for our travels). Now I just need the kids races to open back up! UP is my favorite. I may grab someone elses kid and run with them if Dug is at the end lol.

We are experts at traveling to Orlando cheap, but we could not know less about Anaheim. Seems like Costco travel may be the way to go there.

Nervous and excited at the same time. Hopefully the medals are released soon!

A medal for Paris was released(BIBBIDI-BOBBIDI-BOO 31K CHALLENGE)...WHEN WILL IT BE OUR TURN???

 

[mjcorral]

This will be my third year in a row doing the challenge. Although I am sad to see Dumbo go, what are everyone's guesses for the Pixar medals? Will the "D" be on the half again?

 

[lurkergirl]

I'm going for a Sully-inspired bounding look for the 10K...simple and kind of boring.

Where is everyone staying? Good neighbor hotel suggestions please. Thanks.

Stayed at the Fairfield Inn on Harbor for last year's race. Very convenient to the parks. A little further to the Expo and race start/finishes. Liked it enough to stay there again this year.

costumes all in progress

5K-Syndrome
10K-Mike (i think)
Half-Pizza Planet Aliens (my favorites from the movie)

Now where are those darn medals??????

when were the medals released last year?

I'm pretty sure it was late. I have this recollection of seeing a picture of the half marathon medal for the first time while in Vancouver in July.

I really hope the challenge medal
Is the Pixar logo or the Pixar lamp. The lamp would be an amazing medal.

Aug 1st was the date I saw on facebook where I saw them last year.

Lots of issues at Tink, hopefully they don't have the same problems for our race. The lines for security make me a bit nervous. Guess I will be getting up extra early

Hi Everyone! My husband and I just signed up for the challenge. He "needs" his anniversary C2C. (I just received mine at Tinkerbell.) However, I could not resist the Pixar medal potential......
