This morning, I once again traded my glass slippers for sneakers while I signed up for the 2023 RunDisney Princess Half Marathon Weekend Virtual Race Registration.
The princess themed race weekend is my favorite RunDisney event. Eliot and I have attended it in person twice: just the two of us in 2017 and with his family in 2019. I've always dreamed of doing another princess race in person, but between the pandemic and how much it costs, I'm happy to have an alternative. Plus, next year Eliot and I are already signed up to do the 2023 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend in person. I can't justify turning around and going back down to Florida a few weeks after that event takes place... especially if we have the puppies at that point!
Thus, I happily opted to sign up for the virtual edition of the races. Some people aren't a big fan of them, but I thought this was a great thing to come out of the pandemic. I'm not sure if RunDisney will continue to offer virtual versions of their race weekends, but I'll probably sign up for princess weekend every year if they do keep it! I will definitely miss being down there in person and experiencing everything that I love, but I'll still get to earn the bling and get the race shirts! So it's a win-win in my book!

Thankfully, this was smooth sailing like signing up for the virtual marathon. I don't really know how registration went on Tuesday for the in person event, but the virtual side was quick and easy. I was in the queue about 10 minutes before 10 am, and right at 10 I was switched over to the waiting room. I only had to wait 2 minutes, and within that two minutes I was heading into register for Princess Half Marathon Weekend!

I decided to register for the Challenge as well as the 5K. I really like the artwork for this year's event, so I decided to just go for it and do all of them. Plus, the princesses for each event are some of my favorites: Jasmine for the 5K, Belle for the 10K, Moana for the Half Marathon and Cinderella for the Challenge. It's also the 15th anniversary of the half marathon and the 10th anniversary of the challenge. Hopefully, they'll have really cool medals like they usually do for the anniversary events!

So, as of this morning, I am registered for the actual in-person 10K at Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend, the virtual WDW marathon, and both the Princess 5k and Princess Challenge! I think it's time I lace up those sneakers... someone has got some training to do to prepare for next year's RunDisney events! °o°
