Beginning in 2012, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 10-Miler (official site here) is an annual late September/early October night-time running event beginning and ending at Hollywood Studios, Florida.  The TOT 10-Miler is a reincarnation of the now-retired Tower of Terror 13k.  Numerous other events and parties accompany the TOT 10-Miler, including kids’ races, a til-4am villains bash, and access to Hollywood Studio rides.  Better save some energy after that run!

And in case you were wondering just how many people would sign up for a night time run through Florida’s late-summer mugginess:
