The first big date in the new season is the 2026 Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend, set for 22nd to 25th October , 2026. This event kicks off the runDisney season with its signature evening races, often featuring energetic night-time routes through EPCOT and around World Showcase. Club runDisney members get early registration before the general public, with the regular registration window opening on 10th February 2026.
After the fall kickoff, the calendar rolls into 2027 with the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend from 6th to 10th January 2027. Runners who have tackled the marathon, half marathon, 10K, or 5K at previous runDisney events will recognize this as a signature weekend and a cornerstone of the Disney running experience. Early registration for club members begins in March 2026, followed by general access on 17th March 2026.
The spring spirits continue with the Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend scheduled for 25th February to 1st March 2027. This event, beloved for its festive atmosphere and character encounters, opens registration for the general public on 2nd June 2026 after an early window for club members.
Rounding out the in-person events is the runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend from 5-18th April, 2027, which offers a fun blend of spring weather, floral themes, and classic Disney race courses through the resort. Club member registration opens at the end of June 2026, with general registration starting 7th July 2026.
For runners who prefer to compete from home or can’t make it to Orlando, runDisney also announced a slate of virtual races. The 2026 runDisney Virtual Series runs from 1st June to 31st August , with registration opening in April. A Virtual Spooktacular October event and a Virtual 12Ks of Christmas challenge in December give even more flexibility for runners looking to earn medals and stay active no matter where they are. Virtual races are limited to US Mailing Addresses only.
This calendar provides structure for fans and athletes to plan ahead, whether they’re chasing a personal best, completing a new distance, or simply soaking in the joy of running through Disney’s iconic parks and paths. As always with runDisney events, popular races often sell out quickly, so tracking these registration windows and setting reminders is a smart move for anyone ready to hit the pavement with a bit of pixie dust along the way.
