You Can Fly!

June 13, 2012 | Disney, family, fitness, running, Travel, Uncategorized

 

Did you know that registration for the Tinkerbell half marathon opened yesterday? That’s right, the 2nd annual race in Disneyland is back on again! I would SO love to run this race. If only money grew on trees and I could make it out to California for it. Looks like a BLAST!

Here are some deets:

-Nearly 20k people are anticipated to sign up!

-you can register at runDisney.com

-This fun weekend is slated for January 18-20, 2013

-The half marathon runs through Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park – including the new Cars Land – and the streets of Anaheim. The half marathon course will include music, entertainment and Disney characters at various junctures as well as runners in colorful Tinker Bell costumes. Runners who finish the half marathon will receive a Tinker Bell medal with its own set of wings.

-The race weekend, hosted by Disneyland Resort and the City of Anaheim, features a variety of events, including The Never Land Family Fun 5K and the runDisney Kids’ races on Saturday (Jan. 19), and the Tinker Bell Half Marathon on Sunday (Jan. 20). There will also be a health and fitness expo Friday and Saturday (Jan. 18-19) showcasing the latest running merchandise, as well as guest speakers – all geared toward women.

I am all about bling and I LOVE this metal! Hopefully I will get one someday! What are you waiting for? Sign up now! Prices increase mid July!

Speaking of price increase, the marathon weekend price increase for those races June June 19th, and Goody is already 72% full, and the marathon is 53% full. (Interested in more info on the full, check out my post revealing the new course for the special 20th anniversary run!)

More exciting news, registration for Disney’s Princess half marathon opens JULY 10th!!!

Guess what? I will be hosting a discounted room block for the Princess half race, just like I am for marathon weekend (I still have plenty of rooms available for the marathon weekend room block! contact me for more info at heather@travelwiththemagic.com, great rates!!!)

No matter what runDisney race you choose to run, you will NOT be disappointed. Feel free to contact me for more details on any runDisney race!

QOTD: What runDisney race is your favorite (or would you like to run) and why?

    I would love, love, love, LOVE to run the Disney Princess half. I’ve never been to Disney ever (don’t think less of me!) and this would be the most amazing way to go!

    We need some FitFluential sponsorship power here: I can run as Peter Pan and you can run as Tinker Bell!

      Can I be Tiger Lilly?

      • PavementRunner says

        June 13, 2012 at 6:01 pm

        I’m slowly thinking of an idea… it involves videos, pleads to FitFluentil powers that be and acting like a fool to gain viral sponsorhip momentum.

        • Heather says

          June 13, 2012 at 6:22 pm

          Sounds like a plan! Even I’d it’s not FitFluential there has to be someone to send us!

      • Heather says

        June 13, 2012 at 7:41 pm

        absolutely!

    I’d LOVE to run the Princess Half for my first Half Marathon.

    Too bad money doesn’t grow on trees! 🙁

    But when I can afford it, I totally plan on going Coast-to-Coast and doing Tinkerbell & Princess!

    • Heather says

      June 13, 2012 at 7:42 pm

      I know right? if I find a money tree I will let you know.

  11. Emily says

    June 13, 2012 at 2:29 pm

    This was such a fantastic race! I wish I could run it again next year but right now it isn’t looking possible. Princess is definitely my fave and I will be running that again next year!! 🙂

  12. Molly Ritterbeck says

    June 13, 2012 at 2:52 pm

    This is my ultimate half for next year….I will do it!

    Love it so much and I’m super jealous! I want to run the Disney half so much! 🙂

  14. Carly says

    Oh I’d love to run Disney – but I don’t think I could make it work anytime soon 🙁

    I really want to do this race! I am moving to California next week, so I would even be on the right coast. I will have to be saving my penny’s for this one. We are moving to the land of expensive houses so my hubs has put a stop to high priced races for now..I think a FitFluential team is a must! PS. You are the most gorgeous Belle EVER!

    • Heather says

      June 13, 2012 at 7:41 pm

      aw thanks! Belle is my favorite! how cool you are moving to CA!

    I have not signed up yet, but I am hoping to Legacy the Tink race. My favorite RunDisney race is the Mickey Marathon, though…wish I could go for the 20th!

  17. Anne says

    June 13, 2012 at 9:45 pm

Alabama beaches in the spring just make sense.

2016 was a VERY big year for us. Moving states. Running multiple businesses. Being accused of getting a divorce. 🤣🫣 People are wild, yall. 

Looking back they were some hard, wild times and I now know more hard times were ahead for us, but I wouldn’t change any of it. I know it’s part of our story, God had a plan, and there is a reason for it all. Just gotta keep keeping on! ❤️

If you’ve been feeling behind, exhausted, or like nothing you do is ever quite “enough”… maybe it’s not because you’re failing, maybe it’s because you keep raising your bar.

Take some time to look around and celebrate the small steps.
