    Fun finale to the 2023 Springtime Surprise at Disney World. The race begins at EPCOT, running around the world, then heading along the water way to Hollywood Studios. The race then returns via the main roads back to EPCOT for a run thru the park, before finishing.
    Early morning start helps with the temperatures, and still allows for many of the signature photo stops in Disney races.
    Great course support for fluids (water and electrolyte drink), cheering cast members, and many photo ops.
    Post race water, sports drink, and food boxes are provided.
    High quality themed medal for the race, and for the challenge.
    Very fun time, and will run again.

    The 2023 Theme for the 10K was Monsters Inc.
    As usual, this is an early morning Disney race, so catch a quick nap on the bus.
    This race takes place around EPCOT, and around the boardwalk along crescent lake.
    There is plenty of photo opportunities during the race, so get your money’s worth and have some fun.
    The course is very flat, with overpasses being the “hills” of the course.
    Great course support with water & electrolyte. Fun Disney themed medal, food box, water and electrolyte drink at the end of the race.
    Not the cheapest race, but if you want to have fun, it is worth the investment.

    This is the first race of the 3 race springtime surprise challenge.
    The 5k was an “untimed” event. The 2023 theme was Cars.
    As usual, if you’re staying on property, you have to catch a bus by 4 am for the 5 am start.
    Buy it is Disney!! If you’re running for time, you’re running for the wrong reasons. There are several opportunities to get photos with characters along the route, as will as a lot of creative costumes worn by the runners.
    There are a few choke points along the course, but running through EPCOT is enjoyable and there are many photo ops.
    Have a great time, and don’t take it too seriously!

    Disney always put in a great race! The Ten Mile Tower of Terror was no except! Great fun course through Epcot and other places. The medal is awesome AND I got some cool pics while finishing well. I usually don’t try to PR at Disney though due to all the turns and crowds. Great experience though every time!

    I enjoyed it being a Night Race vs an early morning race. It gave it a lot more fun feel running through the parks lit up at night and the villains theme was pretty cool. IMO Disney doesn’t put on a bad race, lol. Shame it went away and the new incarnation of it won’t stay the same each year.

    I ran the Happy Haunted 5k Trail run on the morning of the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. It was a decent run, mostly on trails. It was somewhat muddy for this race. Recommend using different shoes from your night race.

    Hi! 2014 wasn't the inaugural race; I ran in 2013 and had friends run it in 2012. Loved this one!
