Well friends, I leave TOMORROW morning for some fun adventures in Walt Disney World. I will be running the runDisney Royal Family 5k as well as the Princess half marathon. Just a few notes for you all before I leave, I know several of you are running and are hopefully as pumped as I am!
First things first. Packing. I created this vlog for the Disney marathon, but same rules apply. Check it out, maybe it will help you remember to pack something you hadn’t thought of.
Next, check out my post on tips for running a runDisney race. I especially highly recommend first time runDisney runners to read this post.
For a little more excitement, check out my recaps from last year:
Princess expo recap
Princess social media meet up
Tangled Royal Family 5k
Princess half marathon
I also wrote a post for #TeamrunDisney about why I love the Disney Princess half marathon. One more thing…don’t forget this is your chance to purchase the awesome runDisney/New Balance shoes (at the expo!)
As if THAT’S not enough excitement for one day, be sure to head over the runDisney.com and register for the Tower of Terror 10 miler. I am really hoping to run this one. Last year, I was coveting the medal from this race. It looked awesome! This race will take place on the night of October 5th, and there is a fun after party in Hollywood Studios. Who doesn’t want to party with the Villains just a few short weeks before Halloween? This special weekend will also hold a 5k as well as kids races, fun for the whole family.
runDisney races notoriously sell out quickly, so don’t miss your chance!
QOTD: Will you be running Princess of the Tower of Terror 10 miler?
*Last day to enter my arm sleeves Giveaway!

Have fun! Can’t wait to hear about it! I don’t think I’ll be at ToT but my goal is to get to Wine and Dine this year…I had major medal envy last year!

Have so much fun! I hate I’m missing it this year…but I will be running the Rock ‘n’ Roll New Orleans half so I’ll be having fun too. I really, really want to run the Tower of Terror….my sister-in-law and her husband are thinking about doing it so that may be my in!!! 🙂
Leana says
Have a great time at the Princess race and at Disney World! I haven’t run this one before so I’m looking forward to your recap.
I’m planning on running the Tower of Terror this year too!

Sounds like so much fun! I haven’t run a Disney marathon. Haven’t even ventured past virtual races yet, but I’m getting there.
