Hi friends!

Congratulations to all Disneyland Paris Half Marathon Weekend runners! I hope you had a magical weekend filled with new memories and hopefully some new PRs. In addition to the Paris races, runDisney was busy surprising us with the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend medals! Here’s what you may have missed:

Here’s the week of September 18 – September 24, 2017:

Less than five weeks until the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend presented by MISFIT!

The Half Marathon, Two-Course Challenge and Kids Races are still available. For tips on how to have the best Wine & Dine race weekend, check out my latest post! 

As a reminder, participants of the half marathon receive a $15 gift card good on basically any Disney property. But it is made especially for the post-race party where you can sample the fare at the Food & Wine festival! How will you spend your $15? It’ll go fast (hah!) I think I bought myself a sample of wine and tacos at a Mexico marketplace with mine last year!

One month out from the event, runDisney will post the Digital Event Guide. Check back here for details. Corral placement and race waives will be posted on the website approximately two weeks before race weekend.

For corral placement, proof of time must have been submitted before August 1.

15 weeks ’till the 25th Anniversary Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend. It’s feeling very real! And here are the medals, which were revealed by Disney Parks Blog this past Wednesday:

Pluto 5K medal:

I would’ve been happy with this as the marathon medal!

Minnie 10K medal:

Cute, sparkly, polka-dotted: the perfect Minnie Mouse accessory!

Donald Duck Half Marathon:

A take on the classic Mickey Marathon medal for the “silver” anniversary, and a spinning feature in the center! WOW.

Disneyland’s Tinkerbell Half Marathon Weekend hasn’t moved from it’s top spot on the runDisney website calendar listing, which at this point has not been refreshed since May. The top three events at this point have come and gone so the listing is very outdated. What are they waiting for, I wonder?:

The runDisney website still reads “Stay tuned for registration and event information for the 2018 Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend.”

Registration TBD
May 10 – 13, 2018?
