The 2025-2026 runDisney race schedule is live, offering themed race weekends at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort as well as three virtual events for runners who prefer to set their own course. A new addition to the lineup is the runDisney Virtual Love on the Run 14-Miler, a Valentine's Day-themed virtual race package debuting February 1-28, 2025.

A Full Season of Themed Race Weekends

The 2025-2026 runDisney calendar spans multiple themed race weekends across both domestic Disney resort destinations. Participants at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort can register for 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon distances depending on the event, with each weekend built around a specific Disney theme — from characters to film franchises. The complete calendar and registration timeline are posted at runDisney.com.

The New Virtual Love on the Run 14-Miler

The newest entry for the season is the runDisney Virtual Love on the Run 14-Miler, running February 1-28, 2025. The package bundles three separate virtual distances — a 2-miler, a 5-miler, and a 7-miler — all themed around love and friendship to align with Valentine's Day. Virtual races offer maximum flexibility: participants set their own course, choose their own pace, and complete the miles on their own schedule anywhere in the world. Upon completing the distances, runners receive a limited-edition medal by mail that is exclusive to the virtual race format.

Disneyland Halloween Half Marathon Weekend: A Milestone Visit

The 2025 Disneyland Halloween Half Marathon Weekend offers a uniquely rich context for visitors, as it takes place during both the Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration and Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort. That convergence of a major anniversary milestone with the beloved Halloween seasonal overlay makes extending the race visit into a multi-day vacation an especially compelling option. Guests booking before May 15 can save up to 30% on select Disneyland Resort Hotel stays from May 16 through September 26, 2025, with full details available at Disneyland.com/offers.

What This Means for Runners
