10,000 take part in Shanghai Disney's first Inspiration Run
The 2018 Disney Inspiration Run was held at Shanghai Disney Resort over the weekend, where about 10,000 ran up to 10 kilometers in the two-day event.
It was the first time Shanghai Disney has hosted a running event at the resort, though Disney has a tradition of organizing running events at its theme parks around the world.
The 3.5 kilometer run welcomed 3,000 participants between 5 and 16 years of age, while the 5 kilometer run had 2,000 participants, all over the age of 16. Both of these runs were held on Saturday.
On Sunday, 5,000 participated in the 10 kilometer run, and the first 50 to cross the line were granted automatic entry into the 10 kilometer race at the 2018 Shanghai International Marathon in November.
Disney cartoon characters were arranged along the routes to cheer on the runners.
