#runnerslove Princess Half Marathon Meet-up

Have you met another runner, or group of runners and you JUST CLICK, like you've known each other all your life? Are they your support system when you need an extra push or need to whine about rain or snow? Are they the first people who congratulate you on a PR? Well Kristy and I (Meg) would like to diagnose you with a case of #runnerslove. It's okay. It's not treatable with modern medicine but with more miles on the pavement and more time getting to know each other!

This is a great way to meet other runners and win fabulous prizes!

When: Friday, February 21, 2014

Where: Disney’s Polynesian Resort; Beach area

Time: 3:30 p.m.
