Motorists should plan to avoid downtown Anaheim Sunday morning – two dozen roads and throughways will be closed to make way for the Disneyland Half Marathon.

The race is scheduled to begin at 6 a.m. The course will take runners through Disney’s California Adventure to Disneyland Park, and then onto the streets of Anaheim, past the Honda Center, along the Santa Ana Trail, around Angel Stadium, and back through California Adventure and the Downtown Disney.

From noon to 8 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m to 6 p.m. Saturday, the Disneyland Hotel will host the Disneyland Health and Fitness Expo. Manufacturers, experts and pro runners will host seminars on nutrition, training and racing.
