Does anyone know what the 2019 medals will look like?
You will most definitely not be out of place. Last year there was a group of guys that were completely decked out as various princesses. Full on costumes. Long dresses. Mulan carried a full fan and everything. They were great! I think people took more pictures with them than the Disney provided princesses. Also, as we finished there was an older gentleman wearing a perfect princess sash cheering us on. It was the 10th running, so he had run all 10.I am *almost* embarrassed to ask - I am a guy and wondering if I will be out of place running alone at the PRINCESS marathon? My goal is to run every Disney marathon next year and did not sign up for the Princess initially because I thought it was for ladies only and men who run it do not get medaled. Well, I now know that I am wrong and so I am wondering if I should?

Sounds like I have to be drag to fit in.You will most definitely not be out of place. Last year there was a group of guys that were completely decked out as various princesses. Full on costumes.

LOL! There are quite a few men who dress as Disney princes too. The "why are all these princesses chasing me" t-shirt always gets a smile from me too.Sounds like I have to be drag to fit in.

Does anyone know when/if the Fairytale Challenge usually sells out? I'm registered for the 10k and I'm thinking about upgrading. But my first half marathon will be the WDW Half in January, and I won't know if I feel like attempting another one until after I do it. Any possibility it'll still be open in January?
OMG I might need therapy after the race.Only with that group. I will tell you, though, that that group gets a ton of positive attention from women, so if that’s your thing, consider it.
There are plenty of men running at Princess.
It’s usually already sold out. I would NOT expect it to still be open after marathon weekend.
I haven’t fully trained for a few years (stupid injuries) but I’ve done a very hilly Seattle 15k the *week* after Princess for three years now. You’ll have a month in between.
And training for the challenge will help your January half immensely!!

I’ll bet all your daughters friends are jealous that she has such a great dad!I have been away from the boards for a little while.
You will have a good time. 2019 will be the 4th year running with my daughter during this race. Each weekend is a great father/daughter time together. Would not pass it up.
And she gets to pic the costumes that we wear. The first year she told everyone that she was going to put her dad in a tutu. That year the theme was The Little Mermaid. We also decided to reverse rolls. She was the dad and I was the daughter. It was the best father/daughter weekend ever.
