    Hello! I am a silver club run Disney member. When do the opportunities open to upgrade to golf or platinum membership?

    Hi Felicia!

    Welcome to planDisney!  I'm glad you laced up your running shoes to race over and chat about one of my favorite topics - runDisney!  While I wasn't at the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend, I had the best time cheering on my friends all the way from Maryland.

    Felicia, Club runDisney provides a variety of benefits based on your membership level, with current memberships valid from January 1 through December 31, 2026.  As a Silver Club runDisney member, you can take advantage of perks like a welcome kit, an exclusive Virtual 10K race, and a special designation on your runDisney bibs, just to name a few!  Perhaps one of the best perks is the opportunity to renew your membership status before sales open to the general public.  Unfortunately, dates to renew or purchase your Club runDisney membership for 2027 have not yet been released, and both Gold and Platinum Club runDisney memberships are listed as "sold out" for 2026.  Last year, new memberships opened for sale in early June, so I'm hopeful that you'll hear something over the next few months as everyone starts looking ahead to the 2026-2027 race season.

    Speaking of the next season, runDisney just released their race weekends through April 2027.  If you're interested, registration for the 2026 Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend opens to the general public on February 10th!  Over the years, this has become one of my favorite race weekends, as I can also enjoy some of my favorite seasonal events, like Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival.

    Felicia, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you'll have news soon on an opportunity to hopefully upgrade your Club runDisney membership to Gold or Platinum for 2027.  Don't forget, you have a friend in us here at planDisney, so please stop by to see us again if you have any other questions!

    Enjoy every magical mile!
