Hi Ginny,
Welcome to planDisney! Have you been following the
runDisney social media pages this weekend and watching the snippets of the
Disneyland Halloween Half Marathon Weekend? I swear it gives me an extra boost to jump on the treadmill and do a little training run!
RunDisney does not offer a waitlist for races that have sold out. However, event registration can occasionally open for short periods of time after the initial registration day. These openings are not announced, so you’ll have to check the site frequently. There are some pages on social media that track when registrations are open, but it is still up to you to register quickly when there is availability.
You could also consider running for a charity. There are several charities that partner with runDisney that will help you register for an event in exchange for a fundraising commitment. The runDisney site has a
list of participating charities, you can select the race weekend you’d like to participate in and reach out to the charities for information regarding fundraising and deadlines.
The Disneyland Halloween Half Marathon Weekend is the kickoff to the
2025-2026 runDisney season. Registration has already opened for the remaining in-person events of the season, so I hope this helps you find a way to register for the event you’d like to participate in. If you’re looking for event and registration dates for Fall 2026, that information has not been shared yet. You can follow the
Disney Parks Blog,
runDisney social media, and the
runDisney Blog for updates on future events. If you have any more questions, come back and see us at
planDisney!
