5k Pics (Run along with me....)

Disclaimer - There are some backstage pics. These pics were only taken to share the run route with those that are interested.

I used my point and click camera with the uber shaky attachment (I was running when I took all of these) so sorry.



Race starting point was at the familiar TRAM area. We arrived early.




The crowd of 4000 people building. Taken from 3 feet off the starting line.


Dapper Dans doing a great job of entertaining.


Mickey and Minnie listening to the Honorary Mayor's spiel.



Go!! (After the first "driver your turn is clear point")


Left side of TRAM area (Load area 4)


Running into DCA (Between La Brea Bakery and Soarin)



Following Tinker Bell (HE got a lot of smiles)


HSM!!!


Running toward and into Bugsland



Heading backstage between Heimlich and Tuck and Roll.




Back out to Sunshine Plaza where Pixar Parade starts and on to Hollywood Blvd. Greeted by Little Einsteins gang.



Past MuppetVision and Monster Inc.


Past Hyperion and TOT.


Backstage again between Hyperion and TOT.


78 Days to completion.... thats quick.


Back out to the EAST side of the esplanade.



Bags checked...


Into Disneyland. (Insert entry bluebird whistle sound efx)





Backstage just next to the Mad Hatter (Parade exit / entry point)


Glad they were here if I collapsed..



2 Miles!! whoo hoo. (Orbitron)


Through the HUB and Castle... past Mary and Burt (Bert?) and Dumbo



Entering Backstage next to Small World.



KC Holliday and I think Fred Gurley right behind.



Behind Toontown



Coming back in next to Minnie's House.


Leaving Toontown and going backstage again behind Storybook and Casey Jr.


Casey Jr Rehab...


The Tunnel.....



Back out on Big Thunder Trail..... Chip and Dale (silently) cheering us on


Past Big Thunder Mtn RR


3 mile mark and in the home stretch.




Finish!


Medals ready for happy participants.



My medal...

Re: 5k Pics (Run along with me....)

Nice pictures. I was waiting for one of those tumbling pics after you tripped from taking so many pictures while on your run. j/k For running the pics came out pretty good. Nice job.

There's a 5K run? I totally should've entered! lol.. Looks like a ton of fun, and a lot of the backstage pix brought some good memories back. Congrats on finishing! Lots of great pix.

Yup... its a run / walk. I believe they recommend at least a 15 min per mile pace. Lots of folks with little ones (strollers / wagons not allowed) walking and even newborn/toddlers in backpack-type carriers.
