Guests will be given the chance to dress up as their favorite Disney heroes and villains before running, jogging or walking with their families through an autumnal-flavored Shanghai Disney Resort, which will be clad in spooky Halloween seasonal decorations.
During the run weekend, infamous Disney villains such as The Evil Queen, Maleficent and a number of ghost pirates are expected to join Mickey and his pals and a whole host of other surprise characters from Disney, Disney·Pixar, and Marvel to line each course.
