Jacksonville Runner “Checks In” First at The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 10-Miler Race at Walt Disney World


Marc Burget from Jacksonville, Fla. (56:53) out ran more than 15,000 runners and many of Disney’s scariest villains to win The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 10-Miler race at Walt Disney World Resort on Saturday night. Lynn Baione from Jensen Beach, Fla. captured the women’s title, finishing with a time of 1:04:19 Saturday night.

The legions of brave runners navigated their way along a course from Disney’s Hollywood Studios to ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex and then back again to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Along the way, runners trotted past the Lights, Motors, Action Extreme Stunt Show, along the New York Street on the backlot, past Mickey’s Sorcerer’s Hat at the top of Hollywood Boulevard, and then on to the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror attraction.

Finishers received a specially-designed The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 10-Miler medal featuring The Hollywood Tower Hotel that not only glows in the dark, but has an elevator on it that moves up and down. Runners celebrated their success at a Disney Villains Hollywood Bash post-race party with family and friends. Guests enjoyed live music and characters and had exclusive access to select attractions.

Other weekend events included the Disney Happy Haunted 5K Trail Run, runDisney Kids’ Races and the runDisney Health & Fitness Expo at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.

The next nighttime race in the runDisney series is the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend, Nov. 7-9, during the final weekend of Epcot’s International Food & Wine Festival.

PIXAR Place Expansion Coming Soon??

I'm going against everything I believe in when it comes to rumors, specifically DISNEY rumors, but I find this one way too juicy (and likely accurate) to pass up. According to a few reputable WDW fan websites, it seems that the Studio Backlot Tour is poised to close down at Disney's Hollywood Studios. We know that since Oaken's Trading Post and Frozen Funland are moving out of the Soundstage 1 area, work should soon begin on the rumored (and much needed) third track for Toy Story Mania.  Why close the Backlot Tour?
