End of an era! Ready for a new one! β¨οΈ
Dr. Carr is a Legacy Half Marathon runner at Disneyland. The first race, in 2006, 20 years ago, had 10,000 runners. He ran every Half Marathon from the beginning.
Races were canceled from 2018 to 2024. π
The Legacy runners made a FB group and kept turning up every year during that time. They created their own annual races to gather together and keep tradition going. They designed their own t-shirts and medals. Security stopped them a few times. Someone tracked down the original race announcers who recorded a special race start for them. They even made the news. π
Races started back up again last year. π
Then, the decision was made to end them altogether. This weekend is the last Half Marthon being run at Disneyland, for the foreseeable future, and the Legacy Runners, including Dr. Carr, are turning up for one last race together! There were 228 registered last year and most likely a few less this year.
Have a great race, Dr. Carr. We're all cheering you on!!!
