Hi Alice,
Thank you for racing over to planDisney with your runDisney questions! I’m so excited that you’re gearing up for your first runDisney race. As a devoted runDisney participant for nearly 10 years, I can tell you there’s nothing quite like the magic of running through
Disney parks while being cheered on by characters and fellow fans. It’s a phenomenal experience and truly a fast-paced fairytale come to life!
Let’s sprint right into your question. You can register for
runDisney events on their official website, and I’m thrilled to share that the 2025-2026 calendar of events has been released! Based on past years, registration typically opens about a year before each race. Be sure to check the website for specific general registration dates for the races you’re interested in.
I can’t emphasize this enough: sign up as soon as registration opens! Spots fill up faster than Dash, so make sure you’re ready to go on the website when it goes live.
In the future, if you’re looking for early access, consider joining Club runDisney, a year-long membership that offers perks like early registration, special race-day conveniences, and other magical rewards. Memberships for
Club runDisney typically go on sale in August prior to the race year and are always pending availability.
I’m so excited for you to take on your first runDisney race! Whether you’re racing in your favorite Disney-inspired running gear or planning a post-race celebration at the parks, you’re sure to have a practically perfect experience. Wishing you a magical training journey and a finish line filled with pixie dust!
Happy racing,
Christina
