If you're not doing the Glass Slipper Challenge, you can register now at:

https://www.active.com/register/index.cfm?CHECKSSO=0&EVENT_ID=2070159

WHOA thanks for that never did get the reminder email and the main WDW site was doing nothing..we must have been storming the website gates NOW registered !! saw nothing about team or team name but will worry about that another time...whew that was exhausting

So I think I pregistered but can't confirm on the registration page. Yet. Is the active confirmation enough? I am worried that I did something incorrectly and might lose out on a spot.

I registered for the 5k and some kids races. I can't see anything in my events on the active page. Run disney gave me the link for early disney visa registration yesterday. I have the email confirmation. I remember reading somewhere else that someone had that problem too.

WE'RE IN!!!!!

I splurged and got the GSC pin too because there was no way I could pass up all that swag!

 

[Runnergal]

I just registered too! This will be my first time doing the princess half and I am so excited! I am trying to convince my sister to run as well. I have a lot of work to do- I had baby #4 2 months ago and am just starting to run again. I am looking forward to training with you guys!

It may take a little while for your registration to show up online. I registered the other day and mine does show up in "upcoming" under my profile.

disneydreamkateC25K has lots of fans. I don't think you can go wrong with that plan, or any other for that matter. The key is to find one that fits your goal, your life style, your CURRENT level of fitness/training, and your motivation. And if you start a plan and it doesn't seem to work for you after a few weeks--change it. Most importantly at this stage, walk--don't run--to your nearest running store and get properly fitted for the right shoes. Good luck! I didn't start running til I was 49 and picked the dearly departed Minnie 15k as my very first race--with no running experience under my belt, I managed to train and finish in 4 months.

Congrats to all who have gotten in. Let the training begin!

Congrats to everyone registering today!

Next week! And over July 4th. Too.

Me too! I'll be at BC and running the the Boardwalk/HS loop Friday. For the 4th, I'll be at GF.

Hi all! I am completely a novice at all of this. I will be 44 in 2014 and decided to set the goal of running the Princess 1/2. I have never done any type of race before. I am wondering what programs the experts here started off doing? I was considering the C25K, but the runDisney website has a program too...I plan of completing at least one 5K and one 10K before February. I can't wait to read through this thread and learn all about it!

Welcome! I switched to Galloway after 2 knee surgeries. Now I follow Hal Higdon's plan with the Galloway method

I truly hope I am not making you all crazy some more questions:

Team Name Can you call yourselves a different Disney character NOT a Princess?

These shirts, are they just a keepsake don't have to wear them to run right? I see full costumes, regular tank shirts etc...can we have a shirt made up with a character and a saying (Disney appropriate of course)
I have one, and if its okay have to get another made up for team-mate:

This is what I have in mind as I said I was injured and to get me through a LOT of physical therapy I had a t-shirt made up at Design-a-Tee at DTD It has a picture of Pluto running on it and the saying is:

"Work hard and Get All Paws Running" would this be okay ?? Thoughts ? and of course we'd be Team Pluto

I REALLY don't mean to be driving you all crazy, Ruthie

Ditto pps about not wearing the shirt until I complete the run. Actually heard a speaker at the expo several years ago saying one should avoid anyone wearing the race day shirt on the course bc it's doubtful they know race etiquette. Obviously joking but now I take note of those tossing cups in my face, coming to a sudden stop, or elbowing (ugh).

This is exactly whar rD is banking on. How does one pass it up? I said never again and now I'm heading there with my gfs for the weekend!

Registered for Princess and for Tink too! This will be my first Princess. I did Tink in 2013 as my first Half ever, and I loved it. Convinced DH to run the Princess with me this time around since MIL will be able to hang out with our girls during the race!

This thread is super-long -- so much chatter for a race that JUST opened for registration today! Our Tink thread last year didn't have this many pages by *race day*!

 

[PrincessV]

you made my day...and hopefully as I learn I can help someone too

Absolutely - I'm thrilled to be able to pay it forward this year after so many great DISers helped me last year!

I will go against what most say...I think the shirts are sized properly. I wear a medium and get a medium and it fits fine. That said, I have a small chest and that could be the difference.

I was just thinking the same thing - if I had anything on top, my shirt would fit very differently!

Me too! I'll be at BC and running the the Boardwalk/HS loop Friday. For the 4th, I'll be at GF.

I looooved running the EP resorts loop last summer! I'll be at SSR and POR this time around. But 4th fireworks from the Poly beach, as always!

 

[EpicBilynn]

GSC is 70% full! WOW!

My friend and I just registered for it! SO EXCITED!

 

[MaMa3Princess]

[keahgirl8]

Hello all!

My friend and I registered last Thursday for the PHM....just on the off chance I opened my confirmation email and clicked on "view complete registration details" and it says that I am not authorized to view this registration.
It isn't even listing the Half under my name but I can see the necklace and race retreat I purchase.
Should I be worried?? Is this normal because general register just opened??

And thanks for all the support and advice that I have been following since deciding to run it in 2014! You are all amazing helpful people!!

I haven't checked, but I am not worried. I printed out the page when I registered. It has an order number on it, the race I entered, and they charged my card within seconds of registering. If that's not good enough then (IDK)
