Sorry I’ve been MIA. I’ve been a little under the weather lately. I’m seriously hoping this cold goes away soon! In the mean time, many online have fount the new courses for the 2017 Star Wars Half Marathon and Star Wars 10K races happening at the Disneyland Resort in January. So, I thought I’d post them to give you all a look.

If you’re looking forward to getting this cool medal at the Star Wars 10K, here’s what the new route looks like (and it is new)…

2017-sw-10k-route

In the previous two years, the Star Wars 10K headed off towards Ball Road. There was this pattern. The Star Wars and Tink races headed towards Ball Road. The Disneyland and Avengers courses headed towards Katella Avenue. I can’t help but wonder if starting off the races heading towards Katella Avenue, but turning into backstage DCA before getting there, is going to be…

The 2016 Star Wars Half Marathon Week has now come and gone. It was another magical runDisney race week that left me with three more medals and a ton of fun memories along the way. Before I get into all the details of the race weekend, let’s first look at how the workouts/running went in the week first.

Since this was a race week, I decided to keep the pace for my mid-week runs slower than usual. On Tuesday, I went with run/walk intervals of run 30 seconds, walk 60 seconds for miles 1 and 3. Then, in mile 2, I switched to run 30 seconds, walk 90 seconds. It was cold outside for this run. All I really wanted with this run was to finish it in under 36 minutes. On top of being a little tired to start this run, I knew I was running with shoes that…

DL Half Marathon Guide

I’m a little late in covering this. However, the 2015 Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend Official Event Guide, waivers, and Corrals are up. We are less than a month away from running through Disneyland and California Adventure!

Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend All-Medals

So, around a month ago, runDisney gave us a peek at the medal that will be awarded to the finishers. That’s just where the excitement starts. When the corrals are released and the event guide is up, you know race weekend is right around the corner. So, let’s look at some of the highlights of the official event guide for the 2015 Disneyland Half Marathon.

NB Shoes Ad

First up, it looks like the runDisney New Balance shoes that were sold at the Tinker Bell Half Marathon will be sold at the Disneyland Half Marathon as well. I do wonder if there will be a special Diamond Anniversary shoe for the Disneyland Half Marathon

Why I runDisney

60 Years ago TODAY, the most magical place on earth opened its doors for business and the world has never been the same! Even though the official opening day to the public was slated to be July 19th, 1955, it was July 17th that Disneyland officially opened its doors. So many people showed up that July 17th is the official birthday for Disneyland.

Bonjour from Disneyland Paris – Virtual Disney Trips Heads to Paris

Well, we haven’t had a Disney fix in a while, so Greg over at WhyIRunDisney.com brought it. He returned to his Virtual Tours with one from Disneyland Paris. Since I have never been there (YET) I was quite intrigued.

Why I runDisney

Ever since the announcement by runDisney about a new half marathon weekend at Disneyland Paris, I’ve been thinking about taking our virtual Disney trips overseas. I know there is much more to explore at Walt Disney World. However, I’m kind of craving a theme park experience. So, I decided that the time to begin our exploration of Disneyland Paris is now.

I didn’t find an hour plus video to walk through Disneyland Paris. However, this video has me wishing I could find the money tree right away so I could head to Disneyland Paris now! Wouldn’t you agree? I love the differences with this theme park from the parks in North America! They have a very different entrance to their theme park. Plus, I noticed that there is no Partners Statue at the end of Main Street U.S.A. The castle at DLP is absolutely amazing! It might be…
