Know before you go: 10 Essential Tips For the Princess Half Marathon that will ensure the first time runDisney participant has a royally good time.
So you think you’re a Princess?
You’re about to find out just what that means when you cross the start lines at the Princess Half Marathon Weekend!
You might be excited or gassy, or somewhere in that zone, I get it. I remember that feeling well- of course, I was also 6 months pregnant for my first Princess, so that was probably an accurate description of things!

Every year around this time things tend to get heated on social media. It’s easy to see why: folks are curious, they are nervous, they want to plan ahead, and they want to know what to expect. They have #allthequestions and need #alltheanswers.

Over the years and miles, I’ve learned a lot about this event. I know what can go wrong, what might go wrong, what will go wrong, and how to avoid a lot of those things. And I also know why I keep going back. Spoiler alert: because it’s a BLAST.
