Hello! I just ran the Tinkerbell 10K with my mom! It was her Mother’s Day gift / my reason to lastly run a race with her. This is a ideal race to run with a buddy or household member since there are so numerous locations to take pictures.
First let’s talk about some race day details… on the method to Disneyland it started to rain! Oh no!! I don’t very mind the rain typically since it’s type of awesome to run in it (since it’s such a unusual event here). however I understood we would be doing it run/walk style with stops for photos as well as that would not be as fun in the rain. When I got out of my vehicle I dug around the back as well as discovered a rain poncho! never leave house without it.

(*I have a rain poncho in my vehicle just in situation of earthquakes it can assist keep me warm or perhaps are available in handy. I requirement to replace it now.)
I put it on as well as headed to the restrooms. My mother as well as I were satisfying there as well as she wasn’t there yet so I had time to mess around while waiting.
I took a photo of my Tigger running costume in the restroom since it was still dark outside. The Tinkerbell 10k (and half marathon) begin at 5:30am!
We lined up in the corral as well as got Camiseta FC Utrecht prepared to go. fortunately the rain stopped!!!! Woo-hoo!
When you’re running a race with somebody you ought to make a plan before the race on if you’ll stay together the whole time. Make sure you understand each other’s pace, goals, preference. I organized on running with my mother the whole time, however ended up running ahead a few times to inspect out the character picture stops.
I went at her speed when we were together as well as walked when she needed. She’s been having some knee pain so we had to be mindful of that.
I ran ahead at Toontown to get in line for the character picture stop – however there wasn’t one. There were just people randomly taking pics. It was anti-climactic since I was expecting a character.
(Note the bag of trash on the ground – I believe the cast member I asked to take photos was expected to be doing something else as well as got caught up in a lot of runners asking him for pics! Ha! He didn’t mind, however it wasn’t his task Camiseta Villarreal CF even though I didn’t recognize it at the time. They truly ought to have had a cast member there to assist with this.)
The 10K is fantastic since you spend many of the race inside either Disneyland or California Adventure. For the half marathon you end up running around Anaheim a lot. The very first mile of the 10K was outside the Disney parks, however then you head into Toontown as well as run with Fantasyland, the Castle, Frontierland, past the Haunted Mansion, with Adventureland, past primary street as well as out of the park near Tomorrowland.
Then, you head to California Adventure.
We made sure to stop in front of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle – this is most likely the very best picture op!
I wished to gown up like a fun duo as well as I’ve always wished to be Tigger for a race so this was the ideal time to do it. We were Tigger as well as Pooh as well as I made the costumes (more on that later).
Tip: There are typically Disney cast members offered to take your picture. There can be a line for pictures, however when you are paying so much for a 10k (or full or half) you want to make sure you have some great memories of it. have your phone/camera prepared to go so it’s quick.
The only poor thing about the Tink 10k was that there were not a great deal of character stops on the program this time. because I was taking it sluggish with my mother as well as it was for Mother’s Day we truly desired a great deal of pictures. There just weren’t numerous stops as well as the characters they had out were unfamiliar (they were random fairies most likely since it’s a Tinkerbell race).
Luckily my mother as well as I were able to ask fellow runners for a few photos right here as well as there along the course. We stopped at the Mile 6 marker as well as even made some friends.
Finished!! Our surface time for the 10k is 1:38:54.
We had a great deal of fun (at least I did, not sure if my mother thinks it’s fun to gown Camiseta Selección de fútbol de México up like a Pooh Bear as well as run around Disneyland).
After the race we grabbed our post-race food as well as water. They are so organized with the surface line chute! This is most likely the most streamlined part of the run – you get your medal, get water, get a mylar blanket, get food as well as take pictures. grow boom as well as boom. None of this is crowded.
And of program the Tinkerbell 10K medal is the cherry on top.
I got my mother a Run eat Repeat medal hanger from SportHooks for Christmas as well as she stated she’s truly thrilled to hang this up on it!
Happy Mother’s Day mom!!
Sorry if I made you gown up in a costume as well as run 6.2 miles with me. It’s exactly how I show love.
