Welcome to planDisney, Daisy! And welcome back to runDisney! I am so glad to hear you are looking to lace up your sneakers and run again in the Most Magical Place to Race.
The price shown on the
runDisney website says it includes a 6.6% platform fee. I just registered for the
2025 Walt Disney World Half Marathon with Donald and Daisy. The site says the cost for this event is $224 and includes a 6.6% platform fee. I checked the credit card transaction, and it is exactly $224. I do not know if this will be the same for upcoming races, but events I have participated in have included the platform fee as indicated and there were no additional charges.
Registration for the
2025 runDisney Marathon Weekend opened to the general public on Tuesday, April 9, and it sold out in just over an hour. Occasionally, a few additional spots open. Luckily, there will also be more races in 2025.
The
runDisney website has information on the dates for the upcoming registrations for the 2024-2025 season. The Princess Half Marathon Weekend usually offers a 5K, 10K and half marathon. You can also do the Fairytale Challenge and run the 10K and half. In past years, the half marathon has included
Magic Kingdom Park. Running down Main Street, U.S.A. and getting a picture in front of Cinderella Castle makes this race so special. You know, a pair of shoes can change your life. Registration for the 2025 Princess Weekend (February 20-24) opens to the general public on July 30, 2024.
I am about to start packing for
2024 Springtime Surprise. This year, this includes a 5K, 10K and 10-miler, plus
Stitch's 'Ohana Challenge which is all three races. The theme for this weekend changes each year. The 2025 Springtime Surprise Weekend will be April 3-6,. The theme and events should be announced before registration opens on August 27, 2024.
If you have any other questions about Walt Disney World Resort or runDisney, race back by
planDisney.
Every Mile is Magic!
