Thousands of runners, many in comic book-inspired outfits, took part in yesterday’s 10km 2019 Spring Disney Inspiration Run.

The route took them along flower-lined pathways, the shores of Wishing Star Lake and through the enchanted attractions of Shanghai Disneyland.

Beloved Disney characters including Nick and Judy from “Zootopia,” as well as Duffy and his friends, cheered participants on.

Li Penglin from Shanghai won the men’s championship title in great style and Xu Yanfang won the women’s title.

This year’s event started on Saturday with 3.5km and 5km races and the newly introduced Kids Run, attracting about 7,500 participants.

A group of wheelchair users and visually impaired participants also embraced the race on weekend.

All participators of the 2019 Spring Disney Inspiration Run were presented with a Disney character-themed medal.

Through May 4, visitors to Disneytown can enjoy the first Shanghai Disney Resort International Food & Drink Fest.

For guests looking to develop their passion for cooking, there is the daily Disney Chef Cooking Show at Disneytown’s Lakeshore Lawn.
