Sadly, this would be the only way I’ll see a Kessel Run Challenge

Since they eliminated Disneyland races for the foreseeable future it will be the only way anyone sees the Kessel! At least for awhile.

Do we know roughly when they’ll bring them back? I knew they were going away but don’t think I ever saw an official announcement regarding their departure. I assume they will be returning?

No word. Maybe never! To be determined at a later time.

Not this year. Slim chance on 2019. 2020 could be a reality.

The earliest would be after that new hotel and parking structure are built and they re-evaluate where to put the start/finish line.

Unfortunately I can’t. Since I’m not running Dark Side, I won’t qualify.

@ridisneypinguy @bexruns I meant are y’all going to run the virtual half?

No. Haven’t ran in months (except a short attempt at the PT office), I’d be lucky to attempt 5k in that timeframe.

Probably not. That’s a lot of for a virtual race. It would be more worth it if I was actually doing the challenge.

I agree, it’s a lot. I think they should at least throw in a shirt! It’s on par with what half marathons cost here, but it’s virtual so that’s why I consider it expensive for what it is.
