Hello all!

First some news and rumors from the runDisney sphere.

No Yeti to be found?

On the back page of runDisney’s latest brochure, one race was decidely missed from the WDW race schedule, the Expedition Everest Challenge. This adventure/obstacle/clue filled race has long been rumored to be “retired” but it might have happened while no one was looking. Does this mean a new race is coming to WDW? Maybe the fan voted for/created rumor of the Star Wars race part 2 to complete a coast to coast challenge? Only time will tell.

Goofy Medal and Shirt revealed!

This morning runDisney released the medal and the shirt for the 10th anniversary of the Goofy Challenge. Okay, so we’ve seen the medal before but the shirt, that’s new!

There are still spots available to take on this 2 day challenge, you can find all the details here:

Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend Link Up!

Thought I’d pull together some helpful race recaps from last year to help you all prep/get excited/feel the magic! Only 1 more week until it all officially starts!

I had a slightly different perspective on this race since I ran the half to set a new PR (which I did!) so for those saying you can’t/shouldn’t PR at a Disney race, I do not agree with this camp of thought. Having fun while running is very personal and for me setting a new PR is fun and makes any race worth the money! Follow your heart!
