Run, Don’t Walk: 2025-2026 runDisney Race Dates Reveal

From the Disney Parks Blog and written by: The Editors

Mark your calendars—the 2025-2026 runDisney race schedule is out, so grab your running shoes and get ready to sign up for your favorite race weekend.

I’m more excited about this race season than ever after recently running the Disney Wine & Dine 10K. It was my very first runDisney race and it was magical from start to finish – from running through the parks before sunrise to snapping photos with characters to crossing the finish line and earning the Princess Tiana medal.

With themed races at both Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort, plus three virtual events you can enjoy wherever you are, this runDisney season truly has something for every runner.

Ready to lace up and start planning? Here’s a look at what’s in store for the next runDisney season!


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. Doesn’t that sound like a fun new way to celebrate Valentine’s Day and continue your fitness journey?

What I love about this new race and all the other runDisney virtual events is that it is all about convenience and fun. Whether you’re a casual walker or a seasoned marathoner, you can set your own course, go at your own pace, and run whenever it fits your schedule.

Plus, you’ll receive everything you need by mail, including a limited-edition medal you can only earn through these races. It’s a fun way to bring a little Disney magic to your day while adding a unique accomplishment to your collection.

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 and DisneyWorld.com/Special-Offers for more ways to save.

With multiple limited-time celebrations to experience at Disneyland Resort– plus all the fun you can enjoy year-round – consider extending your race visit into a multi-day vacation. By planning ahead and booking before May 15, you can save up to 30% on select stays May 16-Sept. 26, 2025, at a Disneyland Resort Hotel. More details on this and other offers are available at Disneyland.com/offers.
