Hiya, Athena! Welcome to planDisney. We're happy you're here!
I'm so excited to hear that you've signed up for a
runDisney event, where every mile is magic! I've been lucky enough to participate in multiple runDisney races, from 5Ks to half marathons. There's nothing quite like the thrill of experiencing the parks in brand new ways – early in the morning, wearing a costume, with some truly incredible character greetings!
Athena, I know you're currently registered for the full marathon and would like to change to the half marathon. According to the
Race Policies, race entries aren't transferable to other individuals, other race weekends, or other events that have reached capacity. With that being said, I'd first check to see if the half marathon during your race weekend is still available. While I know that entry fees are
non-refundable and non-transferable, it's not clear if you're able to shift events for an available race within the same race weekend. My best suggestion would be to
reach out to runDisney at your earliest convenience. They'll be able to tell you a clearer picture of their race policies after listening to your situation.
Before your race, be sure to take a look at the
Training Programs and
Running Tips. I followed the Jeff Galloway run-walk-run method when training for my half marathon and found that the recovery pacing helped me to cross the finish line both healthy and happy! You might also want to think about any
restaurants where you'd like to make an
advance dining reservation so you're fueled well before your race and can celebrate with a delicious meal after the race! Remember, advance dining reservations can be booked 60 days in advance of your arrival date. I also enjoyed picking out a bubbling bath bomb from
Basin in
Disney Springs so I could relax with a long soak to rest and recover!
Wishing you many magical miles, Athena!
