Hi Heather!
Thanks for lacing up your running shoes and racing over to planDisney! While I'm not at the
Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend this year, I am having a blast cheering on some of my friends and fellow planDisney panelists from afar as they cover every magical mile. Marathon weekend is the only race weekend at Walt Disney World Resort that I haven't attended yet, but it's definitely on my list of must-do events!
Heather,
Club runDisney offers running enthusiasts like us the chance to enjoy some exclusive benefits. As you are aware, Platinum and Gold memberships are listed as "sold out" for 2026, but Silver memberships are currently available for purchase. For 2026, the Silver members enjoy benefits that include a welcome kit, tier 1 pricing for available races throughout the year, a club-exclusive virtual 10K, special designation of your Club runDisney status on race bibs, and early access to purchase your Club runDisney renewal before new membership sales open to the general public. Club runDisney memberships are based on the calendar year, so if you choose to purchase a 2026 membership, you will enjoy access to your benefits from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026. The
Club runDisney FAQs may also be beneficial as you continue to explore this membership option!
I hope this information has been helpful as you make your decision on whether or not a Club runDisney membership is right for you, Heather. Before I dash away, I wanted to also remind you that registration for the
Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend is scheduled to open on February 10, 2026. Don't tell the other race weekends, but I think this one might just be my favorite! I especially enjoy years like this when the races are scheduled for late October. Not only will you be able to run your race (or races!), but you can also explore the fall offerings around the parks like
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival!
If you have any other questions, please stop by to see us again here at planDisney!
Cheers to every magical mile!
