Gary 's thoughts:

This 10k was the first leg of the Infinity Gauntlet Challenge as a part of the RunDisney Super Heroes Half Marathon weekend. I also did the Spider-Man 5k the day before this even though it was not technically part of the challenge and this was my favorite of the three races. The entire race took place in and around the Disneyland Park with a great route through the California Adventure and the Magic Kingdom and it was so much fun exploring the park while it was dark/dawn without any one else in the park. The race started at 5:30am which was earlier than I was used to, but the energy generated by the pre-race entertainment (including awesome video displays above the start line), the park employees cheering everyone on in the park, and the course DJ's definitely woke me up. There were several Marvel character photo ops including one with a S.H.I.E.L.D military style vehicle and the characters were so much fun to interact with and the all of the pictures taken that day turned out amazing and are included in the Disney Photo pass. The expo took place at the Disneyland Convention Center so it was very large but the volunteers were well organized so we got our bags timely. The race shirt for this race was a long sleeved technical shirt from Champion and fit well and had a cool Thor design. The medal was very unique since it tied into the Thor movies and the middle of it actually spins with Thor's hammer on one side and Loki's horned helmet on the other. The course is very flat with the exception of two fairly steep hills up and down as we went under two road overpasses. We stayed at an onsite hotel so I cannot speak to the race parking. The post-race amenities were very good as well with a unique food box that was handed to participants that had Nutella, cookies, apple sauce squeeze, and a few other things I can't remember. The food box helped move people through the finish efficiently and made it easy to carry because I usually don't eat immediately after a race until my stomach has time to settle down.
