Every RunDisney Event Around the World

Love running as much as you love Disney? You can combine your two passions at multiple events throughout the year with an assortment of runDisney events ranging from 5K runs to full marathons. The events are typically clustered during themed long weekends where you can participate in one or more runs over three days.

Most runDisney events take place at Walt Disney World in Florida, but there are events at other Disney locations as well. Throughout the year, there are runDisney weekends that are geared to themes such as Disney Princess or Star Wars, or to special events.

Note: Due to ongoing construction projects at Disneyland Resort in California, runDisney events at Disneyland have been put on temporary hiatus beginning in 2018. We will update this page as events are re-introduced.

Signups typically open up about nine months before the event. Just go to runDisney.com, find your desired themed weekend and specific race, and register online.

Registration Fees for RunDisney Events

Participating in a runDisney event is not cheap. Registration fees are typically:

$20 for kids dashes
$30 for one-mile kids races
$80 for 5K runs
$120 for 10K runs
$185 for half marathons
$330 for two-day challenges (one race per day, totaling 19.3 miles)

Tips for RunDisney Events

Plan on making it a three- or four-day visit. Most popular themed runDisney events take place over a three-day weekend, with races and events held on consecutive mornings, Friday through Sunday.
Register early. Many runDisney events sell out more than six months in advance. On popular half-marathon weekends, the shorter runs tend to sell out first, so if you like 5K and 10K races, consider registering well in advance.
Prepare to be an early riser. RunDisney events are typically held outside of theme park opening hours. Races 5K and longer tend to kick off at 5:30 am while the shorter kids races take place mid-morning through early afternoon.
Sign your kids up for the right race. Participants for the two-day challenge must be age 18 or older. Participants for the half marathon must be age 14 or older. Participants for the 10K must be age 10 or older. Participants for the 5K must be age 5 or older and be able to complete the 5K on his or her own. Participants for runDisney kids races must be age 13 or under.

Pacing Requirements for runDisney Events

While runDisney events are packed with fun, they also attract serious runners. To prevent bottlenecks on the course, runners are expected to keep to a minimum pace.

16-minute-per-mile pace for all participants in Half Marathon, 10K and 5K runs. A training pace of 15-minute-per-mile pace is recommended.
Runners unable to maintain the pace may be picked up along the course and transported to the finish line.
