Hi Anna, welcome to planDisney!
I’ll be visiting Walt Disney World to participate in the
Princess Half Marathon Weekend, so our countdowns to our Disney World vacations must be pretty similar!
Official race course maps have not been released for the Princess race weekend at this time, Anna. Once the maps are released, runDisney also releases an
Official Digital Expo & Event Guide with a full list of road closures and details on when they will reopen. I looked through an old event guide and saw that all roads affected by the race were scheduled to return to normal operation by 10:00 a.m. on the morning of the half marathon. Of course, the course may change for this year’s event, so this has not been officially confirmed yet.
If you’re staying at a Disney Resort hotel, I recommend using
Disney Resort Transportation and allowing a little extra buffer of time to get to your destination. The Transportation Cast Members should have no problem navigating the road closures on race morning. If you are planning to drive, there should be signage to guide you if a detour is necessary. If you happen to see runners, give them a wave! Maybe you'll be waving at me!
Sorry I was unable to give you more information, Anna. The Digital Event Guide I mentioned is usually released a week or two before the race weekend. If you’re interested in looking through the information, check back on the
runDisney site in the weeks leading up to your visit. If you have any more questions, I’ll be here at
planDisney! Who knows, maybe we’ll cross paths in Disney World!
