The basic package will put your party and several others on a mid-size boat to scan the waves for humpback whales, gray whales, finback whales, giant blue whales, minke whales, dolphins, and more. You can also opt for the Captain’s Seating package, which will secure you one or more of the six spaces near the captain’s quarters during the cruise. This also means the captain will be your personal guide. Finally, you can opt to rent a private boat and captain of your own for a private tour that accommodates two to six guests. Each tour lasts two hours and sets sail three times daily, seven days a week, all year long.

In 1857, a group of German immigrants settled in the area and formed a colony on 1,165 acres. The name Anaheim has a meaning: "ana" refers to the Santa Ana River and "heim" means home in German. This group of immigrants cultivated the land for grapes, and within just a decade they created what was then California’s wine capital, with 47 wineries and scores of vineyards.

In the 1880s, plant plagues killed off most of the vines, and residents switched to growing oranges. Native Yaqui from Mexico and Chinese immigrants arrived to work on the orange groves, further diversifying the community.

Anaheim was content with citrus crops until 1955, when the Santa Ana (I-5) Freeway and Disneyland_® Resort opened. The city immediately invested in tourism. Now, the Anaheim Convention Center and Edison International Field draw millions of visitors annually.

As music fills the stadium, the course is filled with orange, pink, and blue glowing foam zones for you to run through, and it is lit up with tons of blacklights so you can shine along each mile. Simply wear a white t-shirt (the more white clothing you wear, the more you’ll glow), sneakers, and an attitude ready for some fun.

This event is free to register for, but there is a $5 packet pickup fee for racers who pick up their packets on the day of the race. The foam itself is 100% natural and non-toxic, so it is safe for racers to come into contact with. Not only will you have a blast, but each registered runners also get an event t-shirt too!
