I am not an official spokesperson for runDisney, but I have heard from multiple different and trusted resources that the reason there is no Tink Challenge is because runDisney supposedly wanted to keep the challenge to one on each coast for the 10k&half combo. Disneyland for West Coast and Princess being for East. Notice there is no WDW 10k&half combo, as well as no 10k added to Wine & Dine either. If this was the real case, it would make sense to 'even' the score; if both Disneyland and Tink offered challenges, then they would have to do one for WDW or W&D to add to Princess. That being said, there is no Goofy or Dopey equivalent in Disneyland or Tink either, and I think it's mainly the missing Marathon distance. <br /><br />HTH, or makes some sense.

The 10K was added due to the growing popularity of the distance. The 10K has been added to many of the runDisney race weekends. I have not heard that there is an 'official' reason as to why they did not make a challenge for Tinker Bell weekend. This could be for a variety of different reasons i.e., logistical concerns, runDisney staff bandwidth/availability to work on such projects, prioritization of other projects on deck, etc. I agree that there should have been a challenge. However, I am optimistic that we will see a challenge for Tinker Bell as well as some additional west coast races in the future. <br /><br />Hang in there :) Tink is still an amazing race, and I may end up joining you out there in 2014 :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00293759870691420421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8906230417976006974.post-23119325122681951172013-09-02T22:08:45.415-07:002013-09-02T22:08:45.415-07:00Glass Slipper?

I am not aware of an offical "reason" from runDisney as to why? I am paying the same amount of money for the 2 Tink races that people are paying for the GSC in Feb... It just seems kind of cheap on runDisney's end to not offer a challenge for Tink too... Since the Tink Half Weekend is my only opportunity all year I am able to "runDisney" I am sad I don't get the chance to earn extra bling too just like DDD and GSC. I will still enjoy the heck out of the Tink weekend don't get me wrong! Did Faron or any other runDisney folks talk at all about that at the Meet Up? <br /><br />Thanks for the great review of these medals.... they really are awesome!Kim Smelserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14650654622361737295noreply@blogger.com
