Joining forces with one of Hollywood’s most iconic brands, runDisney is creating another transportive race weekend — the Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend presented by Sierra Nevada Corporation at Disneyland Resort. Your intergalactic journey begins January 15 and runs through January 18, 2015.

The Star Wars event is the fourth runDisney race weekend scheduled for 2015 at Disneyland Resort, doubling the number of races held in 2013. The new race weekend offers runners a variety of race experiences for all levels, from Padawans to Jedi Masters — kids races, a 5K, a 10K and a half marathon. And for those who show an even greater strength with the Force, there will be a two-race challenge involving the 10K and the half marathon with a commemorative medal awaiting every finisher.

Long time Star Wars contributor Nathan P. Butler (Star Wars Timeline Gold, Star Wars Action News) is in the midst of a medical situation with his wife, Jodi, and is asking the fan community for help. They have set up a GoFundMe account in hopes that our generosity can lessen their increasing financial burden. If you have the means, I encourage you to contribute whatever you can no matter how small.
