2014 Disneyland Half Marathon and Dumbo Double Dare Registration Opens

UPDATE: This event is sold out. You can still participate in 2014 Disneyland Half Marathon through one of runDisney charity program groups. Click here for more information. 

Set your calendar reminder: Registration opens tomorrow for Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend: 1/28/2014 12pm EST. If you are interested in running this race, I strongly encourage you to sign up at Noon - it will sell out. 

Disneyland Marathon Weekend will take place on Labor Day weekend, August 29-31 in Anaheim California. The race weekend has multiple events including Disneyland Half Marathon, Disneyland 10K, Dumbo Double Dare, Disneyland Family Fun Run 5K and runDisney Kids Races. Dumbo Double Dare is a two race challenge (completing the 10K and Half Marathon). I missed out on Dumbo Double Dare registration last year due to not pre-registering during Disney Marathon Weekend. When registration was released to the public, I couldn't get my purchase to go through and it sold out within an hour. I had multiple friends who went out and ran the Double Double Dare and loved it while I sat home, cheering them on while pouting.

2014 will not be a Dumbo Double Dare resurrection year for me...but for a good reason. Gabe and I get married 3 weeks after the race weekend!!! He would never prevent me from going out there for Dumbo Double Dare but I do not want to be selfish and we need that money for our Honeymoon. Maybe I can run somewhere outside of Disneyland Paris to make up for it!

Since it's all about the bling: Dumbo Double Dare finishing participants will receive a medal for the 10K, Half Marathon and a special challengers medal. Those who completed a runDisney Half Marathon or Full Marathon in Orlando this year will also receive a Coast to Coast Medal.

runDisney offers a great course for both the 10K and Half Marathon, taking runners through Disneyland theme parks and the city of Anaheim, including Angels Stadium.
