runDisney Star Wars Dark Side Challenge Medals Released

December 4, 2015

Are you running the Inaugural Star Wars Dark Side Challenge in April?  I am!  I try to run almost every inaugural event that runDisney launches.  But then that means I have to keep running them so that I can eventually earn legacy status with their special recognition.

Today runDisney launched their medal designs for the Star Wars races in April and they look awesome!  I wish I were running the Star Wars challenge in January in California so that I could also earn the Star Wars Kessel Run Challenge Medal.  It’s all about the BLING!!!

There was another teaser in the email which was the announcements for the registration dates and race dates for 2016 and some for 2017.  As a fellow Mickey Miler, Eddie McCoy pointed out.  There is the caveat at the bottom of the list telling us to stay tuned for 2017 additional race dates.  Wonder what that means!

Which races will you be running in 2016 and 2017?  I will be running the Dopey Challenge, Princess Glass Slipper Challenge, Star wars Dark Side Challenge, Tinkerbell Half Marathon and the Dumbo Double Dare.  With intentions of doing Wine and Dine when registration opens.

 

Disney Princess Half Marathon Adds The Castaway Cay Challenge

July 15, 2014

cruiserunDisney has a way of surprising us with new things.  It’s great that they are adding new elements to their races.  Earlier in the year the included a Castaway Cay Challenge to Marathon Weekend in January.  This was discussed on a Mickey Miles Podcast that maybe now they will add this to all of the challenge races.  Well, now they are adding it to the Princess Half Marathon weekend in January.  I know that his had made some people upset because they registered for it for the January offering of the cruise.  Registration for the Princess Weekend Race events will be opening on Tuesday, July 15 at 12:00 Noon ET to the public for the Princess Half Marathon weekend.

I think it is a nice addition.  I just wish we knew what the race schedule was with everything provided at the beginning of the year so we can plan our funds, schedules and flights accordingly.

The Castaway Cay Challenge is:

Disney Cruise Line 4-night Bahamian Cruise February 23-27, 2015, following Disney Princess Half Marathon February 19-22, 2015

Why I Love runDisney

May 19, 2014

Let me count the ways…. I love being on vacation for one. I love being in vacation with my family. I love that I can usually find a friend down here to bump in to or hook up with! I credit that to the runDisney races. I had the chance to reunite with Dave Dunkowski on Saturday night at Epcot. I forgot to get a picture so we will have to try again!

I also made plans with Becca Bastian, a friend of Gail’s, to go for a run on Sunday morning. I met both Dave and Becca in February at the Princess race weekend.

This morning while at breakfast I had my princess mesh bag and the person checking us in noticed it and we exchanged names and took a picture and hope to see each other again at wine and dine!

How awesome is social media and the rundisney races that people can meet, stay in touch and get in a run together when we live in completely different states! Dave is from New York, Becca is from Florida and Lizzy is from Ohio and moved to Florida.
