Every runDisney race weekend with confirmed dates, themes, distances, and registration windows — counting down live to the next start.
runDisney released the full 2026–2027 race calendar in January 2026 — the first time runDisney has offered a two-year forward planning horizon. All four race weekends take place at Walt Disney World Resort. Disneyland-based runDisney races remain on hiatus.
Disney releases registration in phases. Club runDisney Gold and Platinum members get earliest access, typically a week before general registration. General registration opens at 10am ET on a specified date — and for marquee weekends (Princess, Marathon Weekend) often sells out within hours.
The countdown widget above shows exactly how many days until each race's registration window opens. Use it.
Marathon Weekend draws roughly 70,000 runners across the four races. The Princess Half is the second-largest weekend by participation. The Dopey Challenge — 5K + 10K + Half + Full across four days — has only ~7,500 finishers per year and a 100% sellout streak since 2014.
If this is your first runDisney experience, here's how our team typically advises:
I'm 16 half marathons in and chasing 50 by 50. The runDisney community is the reason I keep showing up — and the reason our Deaf meetup matters so much. Nobody runs Disney alone anymore.
runDisney weekends are exceptional, but they're also disorienting your first time. The expo is loud, the early-morning logistics are a lot, the crowd is enormous, and (for Deaf and HoH runners) corral announcements are easy to miss.
Our Fairytale Dreamers meetup group is specifically for Deaf, hard-of-hearing, and signing runners and their supporters. We host pre-race webinars in ASL, coordinate hotel blocks, run a buddy system for bib pickup, and meet up at predetermined cheer spots and finish-line locations.
May 17 at 7pm ET — live in ASL. We'll walk through Princess Half registration and answer your questions.
