The Experience

Big news for runDisney® and the Walt Disney World® Marathon Weekend! That’s because 2027 will mark the 30th anniversary of the Walt Disney World Half Marathon! In celebration, inaugural mascot Donald Duck will be the star of the show at every race on every course over the January 6–10 weekend, inviting athletes, fans and his Disney pals to join in his antics. So come join Pluto for a doggone fun 5K. Enjoy a nutty 10K with Chip ’n’ Dale. Embark on the half marathon starring Donald and Daisy. Take on the full marathon featuring Mickey and Minnie. Run the side-splitting Goofy’s Race and a Half Challenge (made up of both the half marathon and marathon). Or go for the ultimate feat by conquering the Dopey Challenge consisting of all four races. With Donald being part of it all! As always, magic and one-of-a-kind medals are included. Participants must attend the runDisney® Health & Fitness Expo at least one day prior to their first event to pick up their race bib, participant shirt and pre-purchased merchandise. The Expo takes place Wednesday, January 6 – Saturday, January 9.   All Disney names and logos are used with permission, which in no way constitutes an endorsement by Disney, express or implied, of any organization, company, or fundraising campaign.
