Hi there, Jakayla. Thanks for racing over to
planDisney with your great question! I love
runDisney races and I'm always excited to talk about these events so let's get to it!
I love the convenience of
runDisney Virtual Series; you can run them anywhere and the medals are the absolute cutest! Unfortunately, no virtual
Disney Princess Half Marathon option has been announced. Virtual events lining up with in-person race weekends began during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, before this time, virtual events were only offered in the summertime, completely separate from the in-person races. They seem to be returning to this model, as they haven't offered virtual race options for this year's
runDisney events. I know this is disappointing, Jakayla. I am sorry!
However, there is some good news. There are two
runDisney Virtual Races you can still enjoy. The
runDisney Virtual 12Ks of Christmas Challenge begins December 1, 2024, and features three 4K medals and a challenge medal. There is also the
runDisney Virtual Love on the Run 14-Miler, which begins February 1, 2025. Run this challenge with your heart and earn medals with beloved Disney and Pixar duos, and a Mickey Mouse challenge medal. I loved the Virtual Series I did this summer. The finisher box with my medals came with some awesome surprises, including the Cheddar Cheese Spread (IYKYK!) you get at the finish of in-person races. Hopefully, these upcoming Virtual races have some other fun swag in the finisher boxes!
I hope this information answers your question, Jakayla.
Please let me know if you have any others. I am happy to help!
Race you to the finish,
Melissa
