The Lovely Meg ( from Runaway Royalty) and Kristy ( from Kristy Runs Kato) hosted a #Runner's Love meet-up during the Princess Half Marathon weekend!
We felt so honored to be invited to this event. These gals did a wonderful job contacting vendor and setting everything up for this event!
We met on Friday afternoon at the Polynesian Resort. Things got started a little late because of some transportation issues. Apparently the Monorail stopped working during the afternoon hours on weekdays. I don't remember this ever happening before, not sure if it was just the time of year or what, but it was kind of an inconvenience for some people. Anyway, back to the meet up. Fortunately we were already staying at the Polynesian so all we had to do was leave our room and walk down to the beach.
We are kind of shy at first and not really ones to go right up to people. There were a few people who we thought we recognized but didn't want to approach in case we were wrong. We now regret that decision because we missed out on meeting some really great people!
Once the meet up got underway, the gift giving began! Let me just say Meg and Kristy worked their little buns off to give all of us runners some fabulous prizes.
Meranda won an item from One more mile, which we had to go back to the expo to pick up the next day, and Lacey is showing a "Run" bracelet she received.
We can not say enough how generous everyone had been! A huge thank you to all the vendors/companies who helped Meg and Kristy to make this event a success!
It started to rain near the end of the meet-up and we thought that would be a good time to exit because we had to be to a dinner reservation. We are sad that we missed meeting some of you who came afterwards!
So will there be a Meetup at the next Disney World event? Perhaps one during TOT weekend?
Have you ever been to runner meet up or blogger meet up before?
