Here are some photos of our first Princess Half Marathon in 2024.

Back for our second go-round! My wife and I did the Princess Half Marathon last February, and while it was a definite challenge for us both, we absolutely loved it. So, we are back for our second round in 2025. My wife accomplished her goal of finishing the half last year, and that was enough for her, so she signed up for the 10k next year. I am signed up for the Fairytale Challenge so I'll be attempting the 10k and the Half this year. We have also convinced two good friends to the 10k, as well as my son, my daughter and my future son-in-law. I can't wait!

I did yoga this year on Monday and it was nice way to end the weekend. Having it in HS is stupid since its princess weekend.

Having yoga on the Monday after is dumb. Move it back to Thursday AM.

Today was/is Princess registration day. Uneventful mostly. Things went as the following: 10K - 57 Min 5K - 86 Min Challenge - 98 Min Half - 136 Min Yoga - still open

I wonder if the addition of villains is to get more men to register?

Was really excited about the new themes, then I remembered I can’t actually participate because they took away the virtual option. Anyways: 1.) 5K - Mulan & Shan Yu 2.) 10K - Jasmine & Jafar 3.) Half - Aurora & Maleficent 4.) Fairytale Challenge - Snow White & Evil Queen Some really cool options here I like the addition of the villains, not that it really matters much for me.

I print it out guides to read them 😃

When everyone’s a Princess, no one is.

OMG yes!!! Give me paper and give me the event guide sooner in advance. I like to visualize my runs, sometimes I like to make a running playlist and knowing the course in advance helps. I think there are several things that rD team could start doing that other larger races do. @Swissmiss I think a bit of the problem (negativity) with Princess Weekend over the other weekend is it's more of a mix of runners/ newbie runner's/ not runners but there for the medal and photos. Add social media into the mix and then you have a bunch of people complaining about x,y and z.

Part of the fun, part of my race experience, is reading that guide from front to back. It still pains me that Disney’s is electronic! I love me some final race instructions!

SwissmissMar 05, 2024

This one makes me “laugh”. I volunteer for the organization that puts on all (but one) of the big races here and more often than not I am at the Info Desk. The number of people who do not read the runner’s guide is astounding.

surfsupdonMar 05, 2024

The runners who chose to participate were: 1. Nasty on the buses, at expo, and in corrals, starting conversations with others and putting newbies down. 2. Such negativity online post events yet for reasons they were told to be prepared for. Not being prepared when info is given is not a valid excuse. 3. The term princess itself carries entitlement. Like “I’m a princess, gimme gimme” or “rules don’t apply to me.”

SwissmissMar 04, 2024

Why do you think this race has more of these negative aspects than others?
