Princess Half Marathon Weekend Meet-ups

It’s officially Princess Half Marathon month and the list making has begun! I have a list of things to pack, a to-do list, a cruise lists, an itinerary list…the lists go on and on!



Speaking of lists, something I like to do for each runDisney event I participate in is a complied list of the various meet-ups that are happening around the “world”.  Since runDisney no longer offers unofficial meet-ups, several bloggers and running groups have come together to form meet-ups of their own!

Check it out below and see if you find one (or more) you’re interested in attending!

Please note, these are not ALL of the meet-ups happening throughout Princess Half Marathon weekend. If you would like your meet-up added, please email me at: kren2700@gmail.com and I’d be glad to do so! :0)
