Adding a touch of magic to your physical activity has never felt so good! It’s been a long time since the first runDisney event, then known as the Disney Endurance Series, first ran in 1994. Since then, guests have enjoyed the ‘everyone’s welcome’ approach to combining marathon running with a Disney Parks experience. From the most serious athletes to casual family fun, runDisney events are a wonderfully inclusive way to enjoy physical activity in the parks or from home, thanks to the newer virtual races.
Now’s the perfect time to get planning your 2025 and 2026 runDisney adventures with this new calendar guide from Disney. Take a look at what events will be running between now and April 2026 to start making your dream marathon event a reality!
The newest race this upcoming season is the runDisney Virtual Love on the Run 14-Miler, happening February 1-28, 2025. There are three virtual races (a 2-miler, 5-miler and 7-miler) in the package and it’s themed to love and friendship.
Be sure to check runDisney.com to sign up for the races and to get more news and updates. Remember, ‘Hakuna Matata’— no worries, just races.
And once you’ve signed up for your race weekend, both Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort offer a variety of ticket, dining, hotel, and promotional deals throughout the year to help families save while visiting for your races or on vacation. Visit planDisney for more tips.
