Bonjour and bienvenue, Suzanne!
Here at
planDisney, it's always a
practically perfect day to discuss making every mile magic. I'll never forget high-fiving Mickey Mouse as I crossed the finish line of my very first marathon, so I'm delighted to assist you with your question about
runDisney!
When
runDisney recently announced its calendar of events through early 2026 it indicated that, unfortunately,
runDisney will not be making its return to Disneyland Paris for the
2025-2026 Race Season. While I'm sure this isn't what you were hoping to hear, happily, several race weekends will be held at Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort, so Guests hoping to log those magical miles will have plenty of opportunities to do so. I'm currently in training for the Springtime Surprise 10-Miler, and can't wait to cross the finish line with some of my planDisney besties!
Now, if you're hoping to run through all four Walt Disney World theme parks during a magical 26.2 course, then you'll want to register for the Walt Disney World Marathon that typically takes place each January. My pal
Jana recently completed the marathon, half marathon, 10K, and 5K as part of
Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend's Dopey Challenge, and I've never been more in awe! Registration for the 2026 Marathon Weekend races will open on March 11 and usually fills quickly, so I encourage you to set a reminder!
Although it has been several years since Disneyland Paris has hosted a
runDisney event, I dream of one day crossing a magical finish line in France. If this becomes possible, I think we can expect a spectacular announcement on the
Disney Parks Blog and
runDisney's social media. I'll be thinking happy thoughts for both of us!
