There's a holding area where runners and their families can hang out before each race begins. You'll find Disney characters, a live DJ, and more in this space — but if you plan to get photos with any of the characters, arrive early since the lines get long fast. If you're not able to snag that photo before the race starts, you'll find the characters at the finish line as well!
