    I live in Ontario Canada. Am I eligible to sign up for the wine and dine 10k or half marathon on October 2025? Or do you have to be a US resident? Thank you

    Hi there, Jennifer! 

    It's so nice to see a fellow Canuck at planDisney with a question about Disney's most fun races: runDisney! After seeing many friends participate in the races where you can stop and meet Characters, a few years ago I decided that I needed to try one despite not being a serious runner. I'm happy to report that I was hooked after running the 10km race during Springtime Surprise with my oldest daughter - we had so much fun! 

    I have great news for you, Jennifer - Canadians are more than welcome to participate in the in-person runDisney events at both Disney World and Disneyland! You will likely bump into runners from a few different countries, it seems like the races are a huge hit for everyone! 

    Since you're eyeing the 2025 Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend from October 23-26, it's important to note that registration time is nearly here! Guests wishing to run in this race need to have their quick fingers ready for General Registration on February, 11, 2025. Club runDisney members can register a few days before (February 4, 2025). I recommend creating a runDisney profile beforehand so you're ready when General Registration opens.

    Did you know that you can save money when you use Disney Gift Cards? I recommend purchasing Disney Gift Cards in Canadian dollars and then when you go to use them, they will be converted to American dollars.  You can also save on currency exchange fees by using Canadian Disney Gift Cards for your Disney vacation! These gift cards let you skip the currency exchange charges that often come with using a credit card, merchandise, dining and more. You can even use a Disney Gift Card to pay for your race registration!

    I hope this information helps you with your runDisney planning. You're going to love running through the theme parks - they feel very different! Wishing you a wonderful stay at Disney World! 

    See ya real soon,
    Candace
