    I’m running the 5k for the 2026 Princess Marathon Weekend. If tickets are available for the half marathon later is it possible to upgrade to the half marathon race and pay the difference?

    Greetings, Princess! Congratulations, Adrienne, on securing a bib for the Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend. This weekend was my first in-person runDisney event, and I have been forever hooked on its happily ever after. As Cinderella teaches us, a pair of shoes can change your life. 

    Adrienne, I wish I could make your dream of changing a 5K into a half marathon come true. I've read the print in the race policies for the 2026 weekends, and it seems that transferring events is no longer possible. While this has been allowed in the past (I did this for this year's Marathon Weekend when the Goofy Challenge opened), it is no longer. The Princess Weekend policy states"runDisney event entries/bibs are not transferrable between individuals, between events weekends or to events that have reached capacity/sold-out."

    If a spot magically becomes available in the half marathon, you can still register and enjoy this race in addition to the 5K. Bibs for these races go as quickly as Cinderella when the clock strikes twelve. I have my fingers, toes and shoe laces crossed for you! Running through Magic Kingdom Park and Cinderella Castle is truly a wish your heart makes.

    Again, I wish I had better news to share with you. I know your 5K (and potential half) will be so much fun. The running community is so welcoming, and the runDisney community has an extra sparkle of Pixie Dust. 

    If you have any other questions as you prepare for the weekend, or any Disney vacation, please race back by planDisney. We're cheering for you!

    Every Mile is Magic!
