    Disney has several half marathons throughout the year. I'm doing the Wine and Dine Half on Nov. 10. Which one are you doing?

    I started training for NEXT year's Wine & Dine this week...always wanted to attend the Food & Wine festival, this will hopefully be my excuse! I figure if I start now that gives me loads of time to build up endurance and set an achievable goal that's a little more specific than being able to finish.

    I was under the misconception that there was only one once a yr but now that you all mention it I may aim for the princess one in February! I am only doing 2 miles right now so I have to work my way up there!

    I have never heard of this before, I had to google it. It sounds AWESOME. I'm so jealous of anyone who's going.

    I have a friend who's signed up for the Wine and Dine and the Princess this year. Me? I don't live in Florida so I wouldn't be able to even if I could run that long right now — which I can't. But I hope that one day BOTH those things will change. In the meantime I wish everyone doing these races luck! =D

    My goal is the Princess Half Marathon, but I'm going to start slow with the Yeti 5k and scavenger run in May.

    I'm doing the half in January (I think -- haven't signed up yet). Have been running for a few years but am pretty slow and have never run a race before so kind of nervous about it . . .

    You'd better make up your mind QUICK! The half is 98% sold out already!
    I just ran the Disneyland Half this past Sunday. It was SOOOOO much fun. Anyone who is looking at running a half as a goal, make it a Disney one! I said I'd never do another 1/2 BEFORE I ran it and now I'm thinking about signing up for another local one in Feb--when it is COOLER!

    No problem. As soon as one of the races has their Expo, people sign up like crazy for the open races. I was going to sign up for the Tinkerbell in 2013 since it is the only other race at DL(I live 15 min away, so it is local for me) and they said it sold out in 4 WEEKS!
