Hi Jennifer, welcome to planDisney!
Running through Walt Disney World Resort during a runDisney event is such an amazing experience. I think it is because I know everyone in attendance also loves Walt Disney World just as much as I do, it makes the atmosphere and energy on those early mornings unlike anything else.
I’m not sure which race weekend you are hoping to sign up for, but it is possible that registrations can become available from time to time. This is not guaranteed, and there is no announcement when this happens, so you’ll need to keep an eye on the
runDisney website to see if any of the events say they are open.
If you and your friend are open to running in a different race weekend, the
Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend registration opens soon on March 21, 2023. The themes for this race weekend were recently announced, and I know I am really excited to see the Encanto theme for the half marathon, and the
Figment-themed Two Course Challenge! Registration opens at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time and can move quickly, so I recommend logging on to the runDisney site a few minutes in advance and having the required registration information for you and your friend ready to go. The
runDisney Blog recently shared some
tips for a successful registration.
I hope this answer gave you a few options to consider, Jennifer. If you have any future questions about runDisney, my fellow panelist
Lauren M. and I are runDisney enthusiasts and would love to answer any of your questions! And of course, you can visit me
here at planDisney with any Walt Disney World planning questions you have!
I know every mile will be worth your while,
Kaitlin
