Registration Tips for Tinker Bell Half Marathon

ETA: Magical Miles Travel has bibs available for the 2017 Tinker Bell Half Marathon! Let us help you runDisney.

We can also book your rooms or help with discounted tickets even if you no longer need a bib. Shoot me an email [email protected] and I’ll be happy to help you plan your Mother’s Day travels.

Your credit card has one more runDisney workout this year: the Tinker Bell Half Marathon goes on sale today!

* I say one more, but you never know with runDisney— there could be an Evil Empire working behind the scenes readying yet another race for us! I’ll keep you posted as always!

I’ve put together a few registration tips for Tinker Bell Half Marathon in this post. With these races becoming more and more popular, I feel like it’s important to know the dates and have the information you will need handy.

I predicted a slower sell out for Tink this year, just like last year.

The move to May and Mother’s Day isn’t as popular with the old-time Tink runners though there are plenty of new folks ready to take their place!

The Challenge spots will go quickly with the 5K (for the whole family) going soon after.

A point to note: this is an anniversary race! The 5th year of the Tinker Bell means a new medal and that could help in a faster than normal sell out. Hope you get the race you are hoping for!

Will your Mother’s Day be pixie dusted? Are you registering for the Tinker Bell Half weekend?

I am planning on signing up myself and my husband for the challenge Tuesday. Do you think I will have problems getting both of us signed up before it sells out? He doesn't have computer access at his work and I am nervous I will get on of us in and not the other.

Just be prepared and don't freak out! I think it will take around 30 min to sell out. So get on right away and have everything you need. Good luck!

Pretty sure the Half only will not sell out in 30m. You could always have your husband register you. Sign into Active and give him your shirt size etc.

Thank you. I think I will just have the site up and ready for me and take my daughter to school first. It sounds like I don't have to be to crazy as long as I plan to do it within the hr.

So just how fast will the half sell out? Its my daughters first day of preschool that day which starts at 9! So I am torn. Do I send my husband and miss out on it so that I can register? Or when I get home at 9:30am will I still be in the clear to sign up? Ive never signed up for a Disney run before so I have no clue as far as how fast these things sell out.

If you just want the half marathon I think you will be fine registering at 9:30. The challenge will go very fast as the Presale showed us. But the half only presales are still wide open!

Weee! Just seeing that there is a Challenge for next year. I somewhat block out all the RunDisney stuff until it gets close to reg. for the race I want or closer to the race day. hah I planned to do the 10K (a bit sad I did not do it this year bc the medal was pretty) and Half next year so the Challenge it is for me. I LOVE the Tink race and am pretty sure it will become an Annual race for me, even though the Husband said this year (our first Tink)was his first and last. He doesn't like being pushed back to Coral B bc he's a guy. Says it's too many people to run through from A when B is able to go.

btw - did you change your blog name? I'll admit I have not checked it recently..but for some reason I thought it had a different name..

if you haven't already registered for the pixie dust challenge you're unfortunately out of luck. sold out fast at the presale
