Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 13K


We invite you if you dare to join us on October 27, 2007 for a running event that lies beyond the fifth dimension, beyond the deepest darkest corner of the imagination. Disney Sports is pleased to introduce The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™ 13K, which is the first night race in the Endurance Series at WALT DISNEY WORLD® Resort. This race is a part of the celebration of the 13th Anniversary of The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™ attraction.

Sunset Boulevard, 1994

On a night like this, long ago, a young movie actress named Shirley Malone and her husband checked into the Hollywood Tower Hotel. They laced up their shoes and went on a 13K run, knowing little of the nightmare into which their path would lead. For Shirley and her husband disappeared that night into a land of both shadows and substance, of things and ideas. The jogging trails of yesteryear are opening again, but this time they are opening for you. In this act, you are the star. What will be your fate as you brave the same path that led Shirley and her husband directly into, The Twilight Zone®.

Wow! Another running event! I know lots of people turn out for these, but I just don't get it. When I go on vacation, I go to have fun and relax. Running an event such as this just doesn't sound fun or relaxing.

Maybe the reason I don't get it, is because I'm fat and lazy. :laughing:

Wow, that sounds really cool. Too bad our AP will run out before then, or else maybe we'd go then instead. Sounds like a lot of fun. :thumbsup:

That sounds awsome! I wish I could go down there to run it, but there is no way right now I could go. I just got back from a very expensive trip to the "World" a few months ago.
