Disney's Princess Half Marathon

We laughed, we cried, we made bad jokes....it was Disney's Princess Half Marathon Weekend!

19,500 women, 500 or so men, and 18,575 Tutu's descended on Orlando this weekend! 


I had an amazing time at the race. The energy was contagious and I can't wait to tackle my own half marathon on Sunday.


RunDisney brought several FitFluential Ambassadors out to the event.  Check out their blogs for some great race recaps.

FitFluential also has a RunDisney Pinterest board where you can see race highlights as well as some AMAZING costumes!  Kelly is my fave!

 What's fun for me is that because the Princess Half is a female centered race, I get to be the main host for the start line!  Meaning I talk first and tell the boys what to do! :)  It was fun!
I also got to interview Mrs. United States Shannon Ford, Olympian Jeff Galloway, and ESPN personality Sage Steele.

I also rocked my own "mini" version of a Princess costume.  The folks at Running Skirts decked with out with a black crown skirt for the event.  It fit great and I'm looking forward to running in it soon. I've never had a running skirt before!  

Congrats to all the runners! The winner, Rachel Booth, did it in a record time of 1:18:11! She has won back-to-back DisneyLand Half Marathons and is now a Princess Champion! Rachel is also a Seminole! Go Noles!

This was our last RunDisney event for a few months and I'll miss seeing everyone! The next event is Expedition Everest.  It's a 5k with a  team scavenger hunt and a night party in Animal Kingdom. Check it out!
