They’re also the only opportunity for runners and Disney fans alike to run unique courses through Disney parks. With entertainment, beloved characters, and Disney magic at every mile, runDisney races are memorable experiences for runners of all ages and skill levels. We’re also thrilled that with the return of the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend, runDisney will also be reintroducing the runDisney Coast to Coast Race Challenge in 2024! More information about the Challenge and how to qualify will be available on later this month.

Stay tuned for more details about the race course, medals and more in the coming months! Taking place January 11-14, 2024, the weekend will include three endurance events, a challenge and more that are sure to be filled with memorable moments and magical miles running at the Happiest Place on Earth. We’re so excited to bring runDisney races back to the west coast in 2024 and are even more excited for the return of the fan-favorite Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend. As we look towards the new year, runners can gear up for even more miles and magic to come during next race season – take a look below at the dates and download the calendar here.

I’m sure it will all seem much more entertaining when we’re in the moment, and that beautiful Half Marathon and possible Challenge medal will take the pain away when we cross the finish line.Mark your calendars as today we are excited to share event and registration dates for the 2023-2024 runDisney race season, including information on the much-anticipated return of the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend in January 2024! From exciting races through Disney parks to virtual events you can run almost anywhere, a runDisney race is anything but ordinary. If we survive this torture, it’s back through the parking lot to Future World, around the pit and the same basic finish as the other races. After the euphoria of the Studios, we face nothing to look forward to, at about the time it starts getting really tough physically and mentally. We get to see just about everything in the Studios, including Galaxy’s Edge, before exiting to possibly the longest 6 miles in history. After a swing aroung the lagoon, with a jog behind France, we exit and head through the Boardwalk towards the Studios. Its past mile 3 before we even get into the park.

For the Half Marathon we start somewhere outside the parking lot (which I imagine means roads will be closed earlier – get there early!) There’s a bit of back-and-forth around the parking lot.
