Universal Studios Hollywood adds a second day to its popular Running Universal 5K Minion Run

Universal Studios Hollywood has added a second Running Universal 5K Minion Run due to registration sell out on Saturday, May 11, offering fitness buffs, runners and walkers alike another chance to partake in the fun on Sunday, May 12.

The inaugural Minion Run, featuring Illumination’s mischievous Minions from the popular “Despicable Me Minion Mayhem” ride cheering from the side lines, invites participants ages five and older (of all experience levels) to wind their way around Universal Studios Hollywood and through parts of Universal Studios’ historic backlot, made famous in more than 8,000 movies and television shows. The Minion Run will give participants an unprecedented insider’s view of the world renowned movie and television production lot.

The program will begin at 6 a.m. and culminate at 7:30 a.m. with a memorable awards and closing ceremony in which all participants will receive a commemorative limited-edition Minion medallion that features an exuberant Minion running through the finish-line holding two bananas.
