runDisney 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.

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