Caleb Graves, a 33-year-old runner and social media vlogger, tragically passed away after finishing the 2024 Disneyland Halloween Half Marathon. Despite receiving prompt medical attention from Anaheim Fire & Rescue teams, Graves succumbed to his injuries near the Anaheim resort.

“The runner crossed the finish line. As soon as he did, one of the workers at the marathon noticed the gentleman was clutching his chest,” Sutter told EW. “They noticed he was going into cardiac arrest.”


Graves was rushed to Anaheim Global Medical Center, where he was sadly pronounced dead approximately an hour later.

Disneyland Resort spokesperson Jessica Good released a statement expressing condolences to Caleb Graves’ family.

“We are deeply saddened by this tragic loss, and our hearts are with Caleb’s family and loved ones during this difficult time,” said Good.

In a TikTok video posted the day before his death, Graves shared his concerns about heat exhaustion after fainting while walking his dog. The marathon was held under scorching temperatures, exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit on multiple days. While authorities are investigating the cause of death, heat is a possible factor.

Graves was a litigation associate at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, a law firm specializing in technology law. He was also a beloved member of the Disney vlogging community, with nearly 18,000 followers on TikTok. His death has sent shockwaves through the community, and many are mourning the loss of this talented and passionate individual.

Our hearts go out to his family and loved ones during this difficult time.
