Welcome, fellow athlete, to planDisney. Budiman, I am so happy to meet you and thrilled you want to be a part of the
runDisney community.
runDisney welcomes athletes from all over the world to its events at
Walt Disney World Resort. Each January,
runDisney kicks off the New Year at full speed with the
Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend. Typically, this weekend includes a 5k, 10k, half marathon and full marathon. Registration dates for the 2026 Marathon Weekend have yet to be announced, but registration for 2025's marathon opened to the general public on April 9, 2024. Hopefully, the dates will be shared soon so you can
get on your mark, set and go add the date and reminders to your calendar.
Registration usually opens at 10 a.m. Eastern time in the United States, and bibs sell out faster than Eliud Kipchoge breaking world records. I always go to the
runDisney site at least 10 minutes before registration begins. Go to the event you want to join and select "Register Now." If this upcoming registration is like the previous years, you will be put into a waiting room with all other early arrivals. When the starting gun fires, everyone in the waiting room will be randomly assigned a spot in the queue. Anyone joining after this will be placed in order at the end of the queue.
I assume the registration date and time will be announced soon. For now, I recommend checking the
Disney Parks Blog runDisney page for any and all news.
Budiman, I hope this information helps. If you have any other questions about the marathon or planning your trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth, please race back by
planDisney. We're here to cheer you on!
Every Mile is Magic!
