Run Like a Princess

October 24, 2012 | fitness, Giveaway, runDisney, running

 

It has finally been revealed! The new 5th anniversary runDisney Princess half marathon medal is bbbeeaauutttiifffuuulll!

For those new to runDisney, they tend to bling out anniversary medals, and this coming year will be the 5th year of the Princess half. (You can check out my race recap from last year and of the Royal Family 5k) It includes 5 pink jewels and some awesome sparkle. I must have it!

But wait, there was more good news released by runDisney yesterday, a sweepstakes involving the Princess half, presented by Lady Foot Locker. All you have to do is go to RunLikeAPrincess.com for your chance to win instantly some cool runDisney prizes like gear, or even free race entries or pasta party and race retreat tickets!

After last year’s Disney Princess half marathon

But, the grand prize (and I mean GRAND PRIZE) is amazing. If you win, you and three friends can have THIS:

  • Race entry into Disney’s Princess Half Marathon, Disney Royal Family 5K, or runDisney Kids’ Races
  • Pasta in the Park Party at Epcot at the Princess Half Marathon Weekend
  • Platinum level ChEAR Squad/Race Retreat at the Princess Half Marathon
  • Meet & Greet with Olympian and runDisney Training Consultant Jeff Galloway
  • Round trip airfare
  • $800 worth of Disney Dining Gift Cards
  • 3-Day Magic Your Way Theme Park Ticket
  • 2-Night stay at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
  • And the ultimate royal retreat the evening after the race… one night in the Cinderella Castle Suite at Magic Kingdom Park

Spend the night in Cinderella castle in the CASTLE SUITE?!?! Amazing, amazing prize, well done runDisney and Lady Foot Locker! The best news is you can enter every day until the sweepstakes is over in November, so you have plenty of opportunities to instantly win or win the grand prize! I know it’s tempting to see if you win an entry into the race, but be careful it’s filling up quickly so make sure you register! Then go to RunLikeAPrincess.com and enter to win great prizes!

QOTD: If you were told you got to stay in the Cinderella Castle Suite, what would be the first thing you did when you got in the suite?

    I would take a picture of me in the suite and post it on Twitter!

    Then I’d go take a quick jump on the bed! 🙂

    Can women only run the Princess?

    • Heather says

      October 25, 2012 at 12:30 pm

      No men can run!

      • Frank@The Fat Runner says

        October 25, 2012 at 12:35 pm

        Awesome! I’m not saying I would run it wearing one of those fluffy skirts but then again, when in Rome… LOL

    I have been begging to go to the Princess half for like 2 years now. It’s just not in the cards with the budget right now- but if I were to win…. I sure as heck would go! I’ve been entering daily. Seriously, Cinderella’s Castle?! I’d look for secret passage ways and hidden mickeys!

  12. Tempie @ The Texas Peach says

    I would pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming!

    This race is on my bucket list, so I am definitely going to enter the sweepstakes!

So thankful for summertime! ☀️ @thehendersonfl i So thankful for summertime! ☀️ 

@thehendersonfl is one of our all time faves (for obvious reasons, look how blue that water is! Look how amazing the drinks look! Look at the huge smiles on our faces!) we always come away feeling so relaxed and refreshed. 🧖‍♀️ 

If you want a luxury hotel feel in Destin Florida, but still something that caters to families (hello kids club!) then this is it! Your search stops here! Drop any questions you may have in the comments and I am happy to answer. 🏖️

If you are doing Disney World, this is an easy clo If you are doing Disney World, this is an easy close by dinner to slip into one of your nights that will have you saying: “why didn’t we come here sooner?!?” (Ad) 🍝 

Simply Capri is just outside the parks and feels like a calm reset from the chaos of the day. Soft lighting, relaxed pace, and an authentic Italian menu where everything feels familiar in the best way. (Their pizza oven was sent over FROM Italy!) 🍕 

Enjoy cocktails on the patio or dessert under the soft lighting after dark. It still feels like part of your vacation, just with a slower rhythm and high quality delicious food. 

Save this reel for a night when you want a break from park food but still want something near by!! 🇮🇹
