It was early May and right before the big summer crowds thankfully. I try to avoid the parks during the crazy summer days and major holidays. The run was fun, 5K with 3 obstacles around the course followed by a scavenger hunt around the park so by the time you are all said and done its about 4-1/2 to 5 miles worth of running. We stayed 6 days that trip but because we have 2 toddlers we didn't stay at the parks too late, I did get out out solo for Illuminations one night and the run another night.
