I don't know if anyone has heard this as a rumor or not, but as part of an email survey I received from Disneyland Paris, they mentioned that runDisney is considering a half-marathon in the fall of 2014 (specifically mentioning late September to early November). I don't know if it will pan out but I plan to ask around when we are there in May! The registration fee stated would be 50€.

If they do decide to hold the event I would think they would have to modify their marketing strategies. As it is they market heavily towards the European countries (of course) and really do not make it all that easy for Americans to book in advance (they only offer booking to onsite hotels to US travelers within 3 months of their arrival date). And hopefully they would offer more discounts; the hotels tend to be very expensive there, partly because they include park admission and breakfast.

Just something to think about!

I love that it was part of an official survey you received, Beth. Yes, Christine had mentioned it here (not sure which thread) a few weeks back, and James and I are seriously considering it if it comes to be. I can't even imagine how cool that would be. Yeeeee!!
