There is a new race that is being added to the runDisney schedule of events for 2015 and it will delight both runners and Star Wars fans alike.

Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend

RunDisney's  newest race weekend comes to Disneyland® Resort, January 15-18, 2015! In addition to the Half Marathon, the event will include a 10K, 5K, Kids Races, Wookiee Welcome Party and an Expo. Wield your lightsabers in the Rebel Challenge and you'll be rewarded for completing both the Half Marathon and the 10K.

There is nothing like running a race at a Disney location.  Whether you are a serious runner or a graduate of the Couch-To-5k program looking for your next challenge, running a race through Disney Theme Parks is a truly memorable experience that makes the accomplishment ever more enjoyable.

Listen to Darth Vader himself provide the promo for this new race:
