New runDisney Avengers Super Heroes Race at Disneyland Resort November 2014

 runDisney has just announced another race weekend for 2014, the Avengers Super Heroes Race Weekend at the Disneyland Resort in California November 14-16, 2014.

This brand new three-day race weekend will feature kids races, a 5K and a half marathon, as well as several family-friendly events such as a Health & Fitness Expo and even a pre-race Pasta in the Park Party. Registration for the weekend’s events opens March 25 at www.runDisney.com.

Featuring the first Super Hero-themed entertainment and characters, the Avengers Super Heroes Half Marathon Weekend will be a unique runDisney experience.

The Avengers event is expected to be in high demand as other runDisney race weekends are, which have sold out in record time in recent years. Overall, runDisney race weekends attracted more than 163,900 runners last year, which was a 40 percent increase over the previous year, which made the runDisney series one of the largest in the nation.

The Avengers Half Marathon Weekend will be the eighth runDisney event in 2014 and third at Disneyland Resort. It will follow the Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend (May 7-10, 2015) and the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend (Aug. 28-31, 2014) at Disneyland Resort.

However, the Avengers Half Marathon course will be a new, unique 13.1-mile route through the Disneyland Resort and surrounding areas that will be different from the Tinker Bell and Disneyland half marathon courses. Runners who successfully brave the new Avengers Half Marathon course will receive a commemorative Avengers-themed finishers’ medal.

Would you like to attend the inaugural Avengers Super Heroes Race Weekend at Disneyland? We can help you plan your vacation and make sure you get the best deal possible!
