Like thousands of runners across the country who have been eager to run a race at Disneyland Resort, Peter Banks was excited to race at The Happiest Place on Earth. And his first race – the Disneyland Half Marathon – ended in a fairytale finish.
Banks, 38, of Henderson, Nevada edged Brandon Wolfe, 32, of Pasadena, California, at the line in a close finish. Banks trailed Wolfe for much of the race but made a charge at the end. He won the Disneyland Half Marathon for the first time with a time of 1:15:02, four seconds faster than Wolfe (1:15:06), the defending champion, and 52 seconds faster than the third-place finisher, Peter Siess of Dover, New Hampshire (1:15:54).
Seven years after claiming the 2017 Avengers Super Heroes Half Marathon women’s title, Jennifer Masamitsu of Denver, Colorado crossed the finish line with a winning time of 1:23:38. She was more than a minute and 19 seconds faster than Jamie Weglarz of Fort Myers,Florida (1:24:57) and Brittney Kingsley of Fargo, North Dakota (1:29:19).
Runners from across the nation and around the globe ran past popular Disneyland Resort locations such as Cars Land, Pixar Pal-A-Round, Sleeping Beauty Castle, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, plus several Anaheim landmarks along the 13.1-mile course.
