Tinker Bell Half Marathon Registration: Slideshow
Registration is now open for the 2014 Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend, including the new Tinker Bell 10K, from January 16-19, at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif. Runners can register for the Tinker Bell Half Marathon, Tinker Bell 10K and Never Land Family Fun Run 5K at runDisney.com.
To help get you excited about the race, here’s a slideshow from Tinker Bell Half Marathons of yore–including when I ran the first Tinker Bell Half Marathon and Never Land Family Fun Run 5K in 2012, along with the Tinker Bell Half Marathon Meet-Up. Enjoy!

As part of the running media, runDisney sometimes provides me with complimentary race entry, hotel, park tickets, and some meals for runDisney events. But as always, all opinions are purely my own. For more information read my Disclosure Policy.
I seriously can never get enough of all your adorable Disney outfits and running photos!

I have a really silly question, I was going to run the disney world marathon and changed my mind when I moved to California. I was putting together a peasant Belle running outfit for that, will I be totally out of place amongst a sea of Tinkerbelles?
Jane, it’s not a silly question at all! I LOVE the idea of a peasant Belle outfit. I was Cinderella in rags at the WDW Marathon in Jan
There are plenty of runners who dress up as characters other than Tinker Bell at the Tink Half. I remember seeing people dressed as Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Jasmine, Alice and other characters. Sure, there are LOTS of tutus and fairy wings, but if you’re dressed like Belle, I think you’ll fit right in!
