Disney’s 2011 Expedition Everest Challenge

Experience the true meaning of “racing heartbeat.”

Expedition Everest™ Challenge, a race adventure with some bite, is coming Saturday, May 7, 2011 to Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park.

Just after sunset, individuals and teams of two will brave the mysteries of a thrilling 5K trek held in the shadows of the Forbidden Mountain. Teams will have to overcome treacherous obstacles lying in their path and then scavenge for clues to aid in their journey. But beware of the Yeti, the abominable snowman that guards the Forbidden Mountain! Escape from the clutches of the Yeti and celebrate conquering this Everest with an exclusive after-hours party at Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park.


If you have what it takes to conquer this challenge, then find a teammate and join the trek! The challenge and the party will double your fun! If no one will brave this adventure with you, then sign up as a solo team. Check out our Registration page for more details on signing up to brave the Expedition Everest™ Challenge.
