The weekend kicked off with the Disneyland Paris 5K which took place this year under the Parisian night sky for the first time. Also new this year was the Disneyland Paris 10K that took runners through the Disneyland Paris Resort and was filled with plenty of Disney entertainment. With the addition of this 6.2-mile course, the bravest runners conquered the Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo Challenge, combining the 10K and half marathon races.

The race weekend concluded on Sunday when runners from across the globe raced through the enchanting lands of Disneyland Paris Resort and the picturesque French countryside during the Disneyland Paris – Val d’Europe Half Marathon
