Rock and Roll DC and/or Disney Princess race 2016?

[thebulldog]

who is registered....i am feeling a bit motivated this evening (fueled by Malbec and moxy).

Both are on my list of possible spring races, but I haven't registered for either yet.

I ran the princess half in February. I might be in the minority but I would not run it again. So my vote goes to RNR DC.

Neither (though they both sound lovely). I'm joining in only to say I love Malbec.

I'm in for the RNR DC half!

I'm with you. I love Disney races, but I guess that's limited to Disneyland. No desire to run WDW ever again.

I really want to run a RNR race.. and I love DC! HMMM.. depending on money and if I can find someone to go down to DC with me this could be on my bucket list.

I'm planning a girls trip for princess 2016. Registration opens in July I think?

I ran it this year, and I didn't think it was worth it at all. Too early, too much waiting, too crowded, too many people with no race manners at all, and really, most of the course is boring. To be fair, I ran with my sister who didn't have a time, so we started way in the back- but we were dodging/passing walkers right up to the finish line.

I was most disappointed with the lack of characters along the course. Why the hell else am I running a Disney race? And then at mile 8/9 they started repeating!
And I completely agree about race etiquette. I didn't expect much, but people were really awful. So many bottlenecks too.
At least my outfit was cute

I do have to say that Tink for me was 1000x better than Princess. But that was when Tink was in January (2014 race). The weather was perfect. The course was great. The crowd support was awesome. The purple/red hat ladies were the best. You actually spent time running in the parks.

I didn't love the princess course, it was hot, and there's no crowd support really. (2013 race) I'm doing it again as a girls weekend though, so I'm sure it will be great.
