One of my goals for the year is to run a Half Marathon. Over the past 2 months I have been doing some research and a lot of thinking. I have never done a Half before so I want to make sure I sign up for a good one. I also want to make sure that I train and plan properly, 13.1 miles is a long way to run! While researching I have read and heard a few different things about certain races to do and not to do. From all of the above I have gathered the following:
Disney races are well organized and great for first timers
Rock N Roll races can be hit or miss, but many times a miss
Team in Training is great for first timers.
Bad reviews of the local Charleston Half Marathon
With that information I have decided that I am going after the Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon on November 10th. I even got in touch with my local Team in Training and plan to register next week!
Questions: Do you know of a must run Half Marathon? Have you ever participated in Team in Training?
I just ran my first half-marathon last week. It was the Disney Princess Half and I can’t say enough great things about it. It was well organized, fun and relaxed. I highly recommend Disney races!
I have seen lots of great reviews of that race last weekend! Thanks for stopping by!
I’m so excited for you! You’ll love the Disney Wine and Dine… I’ve heard really good things about all the Disney races.
Thank you! I am looking forward to it.
A friend of mine just did the Princess Half in Disney. Looked like a ton of fun.
DC has some great races too. I’d recommend the Cherry Blossom 10-miler.
Good luck training!
I think you probably can’t go wrong with a Disney race! I’ve never done one, but am planning on doing the princess half next year (possibly). I’m so excited for you!!
Good luck and see you at the starting line!! Too, remember that it’s a night race, so you may want to training in the evenings.
