On Friday, August 9th, a runDisney D2.3 Fun Run will lead the way for the D23 Expo!

D23 members will have the opportunity to run through Disney’s California Adventure Park on a 2.3 mile fun run, preceding the opening of the D23 Expo. Runners taking part in this adventure will receive a shirt for participating, along with having the experience of running through a theme park, with Disney characters and other magical surprises along the way.

Says Faron Kelley, Director of Marketing for Disney Sports:

“runDisney is committed to helping people live a healthy and active lifestyle by providing races of various distances so the entire family can participate. It’s exciting to be part of the D23 Expo and to provide a memorable runDisney experience for some of the most passionate Disney fans in the world.”

This exciting opportunity will only be available to D23 members, participation will be limited, and you will need your D23 Membership number at time of registration. Starting the week of July 22nd, watch the Disney Parks Blog, runDisney on Facebook, and @runDisney & @DisneyD23 on Twitter, for details on how to register to be selected for the D2.3 Fun Run!
