Princess half marathon recap 2020

This past February was my 6th time running the Princess Half Marathon. It’s a pretty special race for me because it was my first ever half marathon in 2015. I was once again back for the Fairy Tale Challenge and had run the Enchanted 10k the previous day. I woke up about 2:30am like any […]

Another February has gone by, which means another Disney race weekend! I just can’t quit Princess race weekend so I found myself there again running the Fairy Tale Challenge – that the 10k on Saturday and the half marathon on Sunday. Like all good Disney races, it was up bright and early for the Enchanted […]

Everyone else is gearing up for the Star Wars races coming next weekend, but I’m over here still thinking about the Princess half marathon! I never got around to writing my recap from next month, so now I’m going to share it (like it or not). This was my 5th year in a row running […]

It’s the most wonderful (and quite possibly busiest!) time of the year! Whatever you celebrate, Disney is a great place to be during the holidays. They’ve got lots of fun things going on down in the theme parks, but if you’re more the type to stay at home and watch Christmas movies and drink hot […]

Who else is training for the Princess Half Marathon? Last February I decided to continue my streak of creating princess running costumes for the Princess Half Marathon! Since I’ve now participated in this race weekend for 5 years I’ve done quite a lot of princesses, but there are still more to do! For the half […]

This was my fourth year running the Princess half marathon. Back in 2015 it marked my very first half marathon, and the beginning of a long relationship with running. This was probably the most nervous I was for a half since that first one, since it was my first big race since my injury and […]

Training tips for the Princess Half Marathon

February 2018 will be my 4th time running the Princess Half Marathon (and the challenge!), and I’ve done a number of other half marathons, 10ks, 5ks, and other various distances – including the full marathon. A lot of people do Princess as their first half marathon, and I think it’s a perfect choice for your […]

How to make a Moana running costume

Is Moana considered a princess? Well, I don’t know what you think, but I believe she is. She may not have the official princess title, but she’s the daughter of the village chief so she’s as much one as Pocahontas. She’s also strong, independent, and fun, which is why I chose to do a Moana […]

How to make a Vanellope running costume

I love planning RunDisney costumes, and doing them for the Princess races are some of my favorites. I’ve traditionally done a princess for every one of these races. I followed along in that theme this year as well, though I chose to do some more “non-traditional” princesses rather than the typical ones. For the Enchanted […]

After a 3am wake-up call on Saturday morning for the Enchanted 10k, it was time for another one on Sunday, February 26th! This time for the Princess Half Marathon, to complete the Glass Slipper Challenge. I got on my homemade Moana costume and headed for the buses. It was cool but at least not cold […]
