Hi there, Neil!
Welcome to planDisney and thanks so much for stopping by with your question about
Club runDisney. As a
runDisney enthusiast myself, I think the only thing more exciting than registering for a runDisney event is actually crossing the finish line! I recently registered for the
2024 Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend and I can hardly wait to be running at
The Happiest Place on Earth once again! I'm happy to help you understand Club runDisney Membership benefits, Neil.
If you've registered for a runDisney event in the past, you know just how quickly bibs can sell out. After all, runDisney race weekends are incredibly popular due to the fantastic on-course entertainment and magical race maps traversing the Disney Parks! When race registration opens, fast fingers are key. However, with a Club runDisney Gold or Platinum Membership, you can rest assured that you'll score a spot in each race weekend. Neil, Gold members are guaranteed the opportunity to purchase a single registration/bib (either a single race or a Challenge bib) in each race weekend occurring during their year-long Membership through the
early registration benefit. Platinum members can secure two registrations/bibs for each race weekend. It's important to note that early registration is available to the Club runDisney member only. Early registration usually opens one week before general registration, and Club runDisney members must use the special link emailed to them during the early registration window to access the early registration portal.
Neil, in addition to guaranteed early registration, all Club runDisney Members earn participation in the Club runDisney Virtual 10K and receive a Welcome Kit complete with exclusive swag! Additionally, Gold and Platinum members can enjoy early access to the runDisney Merchandise Shop at select runDisney Health & Fitness Expos taking place during their Membership year, as well as enhanced corral placement. The 2022-2023 Club runDisney Membership period runs from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023, so if you're interested in joining, I recommend keeping an eye on the
runDisney Blog this fall for announcements about Club runDisney registration!
I hope you find this information helpful, Neil. I'm wishing you all the very best with your race training and many magical miles ahead! If you have any additional questions, please feel free to stop back by planDisney again anytime. For runDisney-related questions, you're welcome to
reach out to me or my friend and fellow panelist,
Kaitlin, directly. Between the two of us, we participate in almost every runDisney race weekend and are always thrilled to chat about runDisney!
Every mile is magic,
Lauren
