Registration opens for the second annual event Jan. 18-20, 2013; nearly 20,000 runners expected to sign up for the women-focused weekend of events centered on health, fitness and active lifestyles. Fitzness has c<\/em>overed many runDisney events at Disney World and we can only imagine Disneyland races are equally incredible. We’d love to run with Tinker Bell too! If you’re a west coast friend, or are considering making the trip out to Anaheim, California … let us know! We’ll be totally jealous, but would love your input!\"\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
