Hi Friends!

Now that Irma is behind us, hope everyone is moving forward and rebuilding. Walt Disney World Resort is back open, though some fallen trees and signage has caused some temporary closures on attractions like Jungle Cruise and the WDW Railroad. Let’s hope the rest of hurricane season goes by quickly and with minimal damage!

This is an in-between time for runDisney races, and the next one up is the Disneyland Paris Half Marathon Weekend! Here’s the latest in runDisney news:

Disneyland’s Tinkerbell Half Marathon Weekend hasn’t moved from it’s top spot on the runDisney website calendar listing, which at this point has not been refreshed since May. The top three events at this point have come and gone so the listing is very outdated. What are they waiting for, I wonder?:

The runDisney website still reads “Stay tuned for registration and event information for the 2018 Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend.”

Registration TBD
May 10 – 13, 2018?
