from the runDisney Blog:
A Princess and a Pixie: A New Race, Challenge and Coast-to-Coast Medal
12:00:00
We now decree that there will be an Enchanted 10K and Glass Slipper Challenge for Princesses looking to make their running dreams come true. We are pleased to announce that the Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend at Walt Disney World® Resort will be adding a 10K and a new two-race challenge!
The Disney Princess Enchanted 10K will give you a new opportunity to participate in a timed run during the Princess Half Marathon Weekend. And if you’re looking for an even bigger challenge, sign up for the 10K on Saturday and the Half Marathon on Sunday (19.3 miles total) to earn the inaugural Disney Glass Slipper Challenge Medal, accompanied by each of the medals from the individual races. New for 2014, the Princess Half Marathon Weekend will expand to February 20-23 and include an additional day for the Expo.
Also new in 2014 is a special edition Coast-to-Coast Race Challenge Medal for runners participating in the 2014 Tinker Bell Half Marathon at Disneyland® Resort in January and the 2014 Princess Half Marathon five weeks later at Walt Disney World Resort. Finishers receive the coveted medal featuring the likeness of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse with a pink overlay and lanyard.
Registration for the 2014 Princess Half Marathon opens June 11 at runDisney.com. A limited number of runners will have the opportunity to register for both the Princess and Tinker Bell Half Marathon at that time.
Those not securing an early registration for the Tinker Bell Half Marathon will have a second chance when on-line registration officially opens on July 9. Be sure to sign up for a reminder email to be notified when registration opens for both events.
Back to to Julie:
Rumor has it, those with Disney Visa, Annual Park Passes and DVC members will be allowed to sign up early as with past rundisney races. More on this to follow…..
Just when I rule out Princess Half for 2014 to do Tink….they pull me back in. Wondering HOW to make this happen, cuz its sounds like a WHOLE lot of magic and Bling!
Anyone already decided they are in?

I decided about 4 months ago that I would be running both Tink and Princess, adding the 10k will be great and the extra bonus of the Coast-to-Coast medal only makes it that much more appealing!!! So freaking excited!!! Now I just have to wait to register and hope that I can secure a spot!! Kinda nervous about that!
I don’t know if I can do both this year…I sure want to though! I am sure you get in Kristine! I will see you at Tink for SURE!
Yup – count me in!
Hope to do it!!!!
I’m one of the few already saying I’m out, and am so not even tempted. I had a ball at Princess this year but had decided to skip Princess 2014 to run 26.2 with Donna. While I wont be running through Magic Kingdom, I will be running with the most amazing BRFs I met and ran with at the 2013 WDWMarathon. I am so looking forward to running with CorralG again but will be virtually cheering for all the Princesses planning to go Coast to Coast. 🙂
Jill I will be following you to see how your 26.2 with Donna goes! I would love to go for the glass slipper AND coast to coast, but I can’t do both…just hoping I can the Princess Half !
