I'll keep an eye for those registered and edit the first post when things get underway.

Personally, I was gonna do the W&D Half but this is saving me a ton of money and headache with traveling, so I'm totally in for this. Plus an opportunity to be a Perfect Avenger? Heck Yes!

 

[longhorns2]

You know I'm in!

 

[rachlovestv]

I'm in, too, assuming registration goes smoothly!

 

[kirstie101]

I'm in for the Half and DD for the kids race!
Planning on skipping the 5K and sleeping in....we'll see if anyone (Patty!) talks me out of that plan.

 

[kim3339]

I'm in for both too! Hopefully... l

 

[Wink25]

I was really sad I didn't get into the Dumbo this year but with this announcement I'm glad I didn't spend the money! Now I can smash the half!!!!

 

[Viva Las Disney]

This is going to be my first half!

Six months ago I signed up for the Never Land 5K as motivation to start running again thinking 3.2 miles would be as far as I would ever voluntarily run. I had so much fun I decided to do a longer rundisney race and signed up for the DL 10k in August but still laughed at all you crazy people who think running 13.1 miles is fun . Now my long training runs are nearing 6 miles and with this announcement I must have officially lost my mind also because this distance seems doable and I'm looking forward to this being my first half. No way I'm ever doing 26 miles though, full marathoners are certifiably crazy, half marathoners are just half crazy!

Never say never

I predict that the race will go FULL before the first day is complete. The pent up demand for DL races is huge.

I agree 26.2% Running is like candy once you start to get a few races under your belt.

 

[Run princess]

I really really hope we can add this one this year too. I guess I have to March 19th to figure it out! If I can save some money and the kids can go to the summer camp of grandma and grandpa I might be able to swing it! Guess I better discuss it with them before March 19th!

 

[ludari]

Being local to Disneyland and Disney California I am definitely interested in the 5K and half.

Congrats on this being your first half! Isn't it addicting? Once you get over that 6 mile hump, 13.1 seems very do-able! When I started running 2 years ago I swore I would never do a half, and well Tink this year was my 4th half and I have at least 3 more on the calendar for 2014. Have fun training! And let us know how you do in August!

 

[nervous1sttimer]

I wish I had known about this race before I registered for DDD. November is a much better time for me to C2C than the last week of August.

Oh well! At least I still get the DDD experience and medal haul.

 

[StarGirl11]

Signing up for this one! Actually might double back this with the W&D if all goes well. I would need to have a long talk with my trainer first about doing that first before though. I haven't tried doing two races in back to back weekends since 2011 and that didn't go so well. But then again when I did that I didn't properly train for the turn around. if I train for the turn around I might pull it off. Avengers half gets the priority over the W&D. Since I love Avengers and am more comfortable with the CA courses in general. Just wait and see I guess.

 

[SultanPprShkr]

Personally I think a back to back via a week's difference is fine for a lot of people. I almost did the WDW Marathon & Tink Half back to back but thanked my wallet when I only registered for the 10k 6 days later. But yes, it varies between people..

 

[Run princess]

I talked to my Mom and she is willing to do summer camp Grammie and Goompa so now onto my in-laws to see if camp Grandma and Grandpa will be open for business. Looking better and better that we will be able to run back to back with wine and dine! Can't wait and I think I need some serious therapy for my RunDisney addiction!

 

[transformer67]

I missed the Disneyland Half because it sold out almost as soon as it opened, I was so happy to hear they added another for November. Now I am scared I'll miss this one again because of high demand. Anyone wanna share any tips besides refreshing as fast as I can at 9am est on the 25th?

 

[frisbeego]

I thought the Pasta in the Park Party was usually the night before the half marathon.

Yesterday, the runDisney site had conflicting information. The "Events" tab said Friday; the "Runner Info" tab said Saturday.

Today, they both say Friday.

Does that sound right?
