runDisney 2016-2017 Event Calendar Revealed!

I’m so excited the runDisney 2016-2017 event calendar has been revealed! I was a little bummed about not signing up for Star Wars in April, so I had to make up for it. I plan to run my first Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend in November 2016 and hopefully Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend 2017! Wine & Dine will be my fourth runDisney race. I try to run at least one Disney race a year. Actually my race schedule for the year is planned around my Disney races (i.e., Disney requires a magical plan and budget).When I found out the theme for the 2016 Princess Half Marathon Weekend, I seriously wanted to cry. Also, the theme is not revealed until closer to the event date which is well after the the race is sold out. This usually takes minutes. So, I had to make a big decision: be part of the Disneyland Half Marathon 10th Anniversary Weekend and earn my Coast to Coast bling or run the Princess. Since Princess was my first Disney race, I knew I had to go for the bling! Okay, back to the theme. *gasp* The Little Mermaid, my favorite Disney movie to date, is the theme for 2016! I know it’s going to be so much fun! By the way, if you’re running the Princess Half Marathon Weekend, make sure you check out my Princess Half Marathon Magical Tips here.

Even the girls at Team Sparkle have fun, mermaid running skirts and accessories lined up for this weekend fit for a Princess! How cute is this skirt? I think I may get one so I can run as Princess Ariel for the Mercedes-Benz Half Marathon!
