Walt Disney World 5K
The weekend starts with the 3.1-mile Walt Disney World 5K, hosted by Pluto. It is the entry point for most first-time runDisney participants and the only distance on the schedule that families routinely walk together.
Walt Disney World 10K
Chip 'n Dale host the 6.2-mile Walt Disney World 10K, the second race of the weekend and the shorter half of the Two Course structure many runners build their weekend around.
Walt Disney World Half Marathon
Donald Duck and Daisy Duck host the 13.1-mile Walt Disney World Half Marathon, run on the Saturday of the weekend and the first half of the Goofy Challenge.
Walt Disney World Marathon
Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse host the 26.2-mile Walt Disney World Marathon, the only race of the weekend that runs a course through all four Walt Disney World theme parks.
Goofy's Race and a Half Challenge at 20
Goofy's Race and a Half Challenge means finishing the half marathon on Saturday and the marathon on Sunday, 39.3 miles across two mornings. It has been part of Marathon Weekend for two decades, and the 2025 medal is built around that anniversary.
Dopey Challenge
The Dopey Challenge is all four races over four consecutive mornings, 48.6 miles total. Runners who complete it collect a medal for each race plus the Goofy and Dopey medals, which is where the phrase "serious bling" earns its keep.
What this means for runners
Medal reveals matter at runDisney because registration decisions are frequently made on the artwork, and Marathon Weekend has the deepest field of any race weekend on the calendar. Anyone still deciding between the half and the Goofy has until registration closes, and the full event lineup is posted at runDisney.com.
