As the weather turns somewhat wintery, I can’t help but hang out and dream about warmer temps ahead. Granted, those warmer days are many months away, but hey it never hurts to dream a little dream. As I look ahead to 2013, two of the sunniest parts of the year I am dreaming of are our trip to Orlando in September and running in warm weather again. Well, when you combine the two it makes me think of Disney’s races – unfortunately I will not be in Orlando at the time of any 2013 races. One day, one day I’d like to run like a true princess at Disney!
In the meantime, I’ve compiled a list of US races that are fit for a princess.
Races Fit for a Princess
It’s on my bucket list to run an all-female race, simply because it is so powerful to see so many women, from different walks of life, of all shapes and sizes running. I do believe 2013 will be the year for me! Here is a selection of some women only fun looking runs that include feather boas, champagne, foam and oh yeah mud! Because mud is fun 🙂
If you are just starting out on your running journey, many of these races offer 5K and walk options alongside the main half-marathon.

Honestly, I clicked the link because of that amazing Polyvore outfit compilation. <3
I live pretty close to Disney in Florida, so the Princess half marathon is on my to do list. Disney races are supposed to be pretty over the top, as one would expect 🙂

I would LOVE to run of the Disney races. I have several friends who have and they LOVE it too. One day!
