    2017 Disneyland Paris Half Marathon Weekend - September 21 - 24, 2017

    Dates are confirmed on the runDisney FB site for the 2017 Disneyland Paris Half Marathon weekend. Still unknown is if a 10k (and challenge) will be added or when registration will open (the 2016 race registration opened in October 2015 but so far for 2017 we just have dates). Stay tuned here for more details as they come available.

    Keep in mind that the Disneyland Paris 25th anniversary celebration kicks off April 2017. We'll see if they run their anniversary celebrations as long as they do in the States but hopefully there will be overlap in the celebration and the half marathon weekend.

    Anyone planning on venturing over the pond for the 2017 race(s)?

    Not us. While it was well enough operated visiting Disneyland Paris three times in 8 years was about two times too many. So just a basic race won't pull us back.

    We're figuring on being one-and-done for Disneyland Paris races.

    Please don't ask me how I feel, I feel fine.

    Nope. Shorter distances and challenges aren't really of interest to me (wonderful for people who like them, but I find nothing interesting about consecutive days with short distances; maybe if it were a half-full-ultra or something).

    I'll likely be going again, because my sister will still be living in Germany, and she wants to do her first half next year (she just did the 5k this year, while I did the half). Since I want to visit her again anyway, it's nice to combine it with this. Also, so many parts of the park were closed this year, so I'm excited that it will be shiny and new for the anniversary.

    I filled out my info on Get Sports Travel, and this was the result:

    "I received your interest form for the 2017 Disneyland Paris Half Marathon Weekend. As I am sure you are aware, Disneyland Paris has officially confirmed that there will be another race the weekend of September 22nd. They have not yet announced yet when we are allowed to go live selling, however we are able to start taking an interest list and guaranteeing inventory. Since we have an interest form from you with your selections there will be no need for you to call in to our office on opening day. Once we go live, and things settle down, we will contact you for your deposit payment. At that time you will either need to pay 50% of the package price, or decide to decline the package. There is just a little more detailed information (see below) we will need to be able to set up your account more accurately. The same terms will apply this year as last year. Insurance will be mandatory; the only way to decline will be to fill out an additional form that everyone in your party will need to sign before we can take any payment on your account. The payments will be the same as well. 50% of total package price plus the insurance premium due at the time of booking, and an additional 25% for the following 2 months."

    Registration for 2017 is live and note, there appears with the 10k being added there will be a challenge medal.

    The races include: 13.1 mile half marathon, 10K, Family 5K, kid's races, and you can even earn a special "Castle to Chateau" or "Challenge" medal!

    My family (Me, My Sister, My Brother-in-Law) have all signed up for the half. We are considering switching to the challenge. My brother may sign up for the 10k (still deciding).

    I wanted to add- having done 3 Disney halfs, with this as my first, the Disneyland Paris half is still my favorite. It doesn't have as many of some of the niceties (fully staffed self-care medical booths), but their entertainment was the best BY FAR (entertainment every single mile of the race), and the cast members cheering for you in the parks seemed to really be enjoying themselves (it seems like cast members in DL are more inconvenienced rather than excited by the runs). Some of that is because this is only once a year, but I really highly recommend this race. It is the one that I'm most excited to do again.

    The portal to submit medical forms, proof of time, etc. hasn't opened yet, right? Nor has bib-only registration? Just want to be sure I didn't miss anything. (Already registered through GET.)

    I have not seen anything open other than package registration. I've heard June (kind of a big target but it's something) for bibs-only.

    After the usual "hah, just kidding..." bib sale fail yesterday, looks like bibs for the 2017 Disneyland Paris Half Marathon weekend were supposed to be available this morning. And yet...

    Yeah, I saw that runDisney retweeted runDisney France that the sale was delayed due to technical difficulties and was pushed to 4pm Paris time.

    Heard more than a few stories of double / triple charges so make sure you check your credit card statements.

    Looks like the 5k is sold out.

    Seeing a lot of reports on FB and Twitter about problems associated with the weekend - trouble checking in, at the expo, getting t-shirts, at the party, and they apparently ran out of 5K medals. That's harsh. There was some disorganization last year, but I thought this year would be better. Hoping things go well for the 10K and half marathon. Hashtag is #rundisneyfrance on Twitter if you're interested in checking out the posts.

    Yikes that is harsh. Hopefully the rest is better for those there.

    Saw a couple of posts this morning that they ran out of medals at the 10K and the kids' race (and supposedly, they even gave out half marathon medals to the kids when they ran out of kids medals). Hoping they have enough half marathon, challenge and castle-to-chateau medals tomorrow.

    Please don't ask me how I feel, I feel fine.
