runDisney Announces the 2014 Avengers Half Marathon #SmashTheHalf
runDisney will host the Avengers for a 5k and Half Marathon. And it’s going to be held in Disneyland! Hulk says: #SmashTheHalf!
You know how disappointed I, and many others, were when runDisney made the change to the Tinker Bell Half Marathon. I kept saying if they replace Tink with Star Wars, I’d totally forgive them. Close enough. Who doesn’t love a good Super Hero?
I know my comic book loving husband Mr. Shenanigans will be on board with these races. Will you be joining us?
Patty Holliday has been running Disney since 2011. She knows just about every tip, trick, and hack there is to cover the runDisney Magical Miles at Disney World and Disneyland. She knows every mile isn’t *always* magical- but with training, tips, and a little bit of pixie dust, they can be a lot of fun! You can also find her at noguiltlife.com and noguiltfangirl.com
So, Avengers is the week after W&D? Holy crap, runDisney!
Yep
Blah! I was hoping it would replace tink. It’s too close to W&D for me to make both, and I really like catching both the Food and Wine Festival and Christmas at Disney. Think this spells the end for W&D???
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!!!! Since I’m doing W&D this year, hubs and I are going in 2015 to get our C2C with Dopey!! We are already thinking about costumes!!
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but you have to do both races in the same *calendar* year to get the C2C so doing W&D this year and Dopey in 2015 won’t get you the C2C
I’m doing Dopey and Avengers next year for C2C.
This year I did Tink and will be doing W&D for C2C as well.
Love this! Excited that my boys will have a boy-themed race to run this time around. However, I’m SO curious about whether or not the January spot at DL will be filled…??? runDisney is so good at suspense! 🙂 Think this new race will have early AP reg?
The Wine & Dine Festival ends November 10 anyway, so We’ll be jetting off November 11 and then turning around to fly to California. The question is, do I get on a plane and fly to Vegas around noon to run in the RnRLV?
I’m going to do everything I can to find the money to register for this race! I’m so excited that runDisney is giving the west coast some more love! Plus, I love the Avengers! This might be the race I make an annual thing. Of course, if they add a Star Wars themed race out here as well in January, I’ll have some tough decisions to make. For now, I’m just happy to know that there are 3 runDisney races in my area to choose from.
I’ve been so over Disney, now they pull this! OY!
Registration is on a Tuesday, so I’ll be at work. I can’t play Black Friday and sit in front of my computer refreshing my screen until the race opens. If it sells out before I get home, that may be that. I expect another $200 registration fee, so the few weeks leading up to it may make me rethink doing it, but I’m definitely leaning towards it.
Yes! This leaves the door open for a Star Wars race to be put in the TinkerBell January calendar slot.
My BFF is Avengers obsessed, so I’ll be there! I’m still trying to figure out how to budget for Wine & Dine, Avengers, and Marathon weekend though. Register now and figure out the finances later? 😉
