They are typically held during off-peak seasons in winter, fall and late-spring. You can check out the full schedule <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rundisney.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to be a competitive runner to enjoy a runDisney race. Distances include 5 and 10ks and half and full marathons. All of the races have age requirements, but there are separate kids-only events so the whole family can participate. Not every event features every distance, keep that in mind when planning a trip.<\/p>\n<p>Each race weekend has a unique theme. The Disney World Marathon is hosted by Mickey and the gang, then there\u2019s princess weekend, Wine and Dine, Tinkerbell and more recently, Avengers and Star Wars events. Additionally, each race has a few \u201chost resorts\u201d which will have transportation to the course. Make sure to keep this in mind when booking your trip.<\/p>\n<p>Some races even have bonus challenges for competing multiple events, like the Coast-to-Coast for racing at Disney World and Disneyland in the same year, or the Dopey Challenge for completing the 5K, 10K, half <em>and<\/em> full marathon on consecutive days during Marathon weekend at WDW (hey, it\u2019s called the Dopey for a reason).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11378 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/runDisney-Princess-Half-for-Military.jpg\" alt=\"runDisney info from Military Disney Tips\" width=\"800\" height=\"510\" data-wp-pid=\"11378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/runDisney-Princess-Half-for-Military.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/runDisney-Princess-Half-for-Military-600x383.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/runDisney-Princess-Half-for-Military-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/runDisney-Princess-Half-for-Military-768x490.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/runDisney-Princess-Half-for-Military-540x344.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/runDisney-Princess-Half-for-Military-471x300.jpg 471w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/runDisney-Princess-Half-for-Military-400x255.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_forget_your_costume\"><\/span>Don\u2019t forget your costume!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>My favorite part of race weekends is checking out all of the costumes that people come up with. It\u2019s not mandatory, but it\u2019s definitely encouraged. Runners will make costumes for their favorite characters, or to coincide with the theme of the race. At last year\u2019s Jingle Jungle 5K there were a lot of Santa Clauses, reindeer, even Buddy the elf. Just make sure you pick something you can run in and that won\u2019t jeopardize safety for yourself or other runners.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_note_for_competitive_runners\"><\/span>A note for competitive runners<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you are a competitive runner, make sure you understand that you probably won\u2019t be setting a personal best at a runDisney event. The shorter courses don\u2019t even track official time. Even if you are in a timed event, the races aren\u2019t very competitive. Show up to have fun, but don\u2019t expect to be racing with people as experienced as you are.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11376 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Military-runDisney.jpg\" alt=\"runDisney info from Military Disney Tips\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" data-wp-pid=\"11376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Military-runDisney.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Military-runDisney-600x401.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Military-runDisney-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Military-runDisney-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Military-runDisney-540x360.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Military-runDisney-449x300.jpg 449w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Military-runDisney-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"So_how_do_you_get_signed_up\"><\/span>So how do you get signed up?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>These events are extremely popular and routinely sell out. Generally the shorter the race, the sooner it will sell out.<\/p>\n<p>Registration typically begins about eight months before the race. I\u2019m not exaggerating when I say that many people wait at their computers, hitting refresh because some races sell out in less than an hour.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, the longer the race, the more expensive the registration. The price includes the event, your medal, and an exclusive race shirt. This is also one of the only times you can order the collectible pin for the event, if you\u2019re a pin trader.<\/p>\n<p>If you are an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/blog\/disney-discounts\/florida-resident-seasonal-pass-a-great-alternative-to-military-disney-world-tickets\/\">annual passholder<\/a> at either park or a Disney Vacation Club owner, you can take advantage of early registration. Disney releases a limited number of slots one week early. You can try for these and even if you miss out, you can try again the following week when sales open to the general public.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Race_weekend_tips\"><\/span>Race weekend tips<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019m not going to tell you how to train for a race in this article, but you definitely need to prepare. Even if you aren\u2019t planning to go hard, just a normal Disney trip is a workout, not to mention adding a race to it.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you leave time the day before your race to attend the runDisney expo. You\u2019ll have to check in there to receive your race bib and corral assignment. At WDW, it\u2019s held in the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also get a swag bag with your exclusive race t-shirt and some other freebies. The expo has a ton of exhibitors selling running equipment, clothing and limited edition merchandise.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in the limited stuff, show up early. It sells out quickly (and then shows up on ebay a few hours later for triple the retail price). Dooney &amp; Bourke bags and New Balance shoes are probably the first to sell out.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_do_on_race_day\"><\/span>What to do on race day<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11374 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Military-Run-Disney-Epcot-360x540.jpg\" alt=\"runDisney info from Military Disney Tips\" width=\"360\" height=\"540\" data-wp-pid=\"11374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Military-Run-Disney-Epcot-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Military-Run-Disney-Epcot-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Military-Run-Disney-Epcot-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Military-Run-Disney-Epcot-253x380.jpg 253w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Military-Run-Disney-Epcot-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Military-Run-Disney-Epcot-533x800.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Military-Run-Disney-Epcot.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/>The race itself is pretty straightforward. You\u2019ll have to arrive about an hour before the official race start time, regardless of which corral you were assigned.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve got a car, you can drive yourself, or take a Disney bus from a host resort. You\u2019ll take a spot in your corral and mingle with the other racers until start time.<\/p>\n<p>When the race actually starts, it\u2019s up to you how fast you want to run. Some of the longer races have pacing requirements, so you\u2019ll have to keep up with those, but many people walk the entire 5K course.<\/p>\n<p>Since you probably won\u2019t be setting any records anyway, I recommend enjoying the course. You\u2019ll be running through one or more parks with relatively light crowds. You\u2019ll also be in and out of backstage areas that are normally off-limits, so make sure to look around.<\/p>\n<p>One of the major highlights for many racers is the appearance of rarely seen characters. Oftentimes the characters may correspond with the theme of the race, but some will be a complete surprise. They won\u2019t sign autographs or do meet and greets during the race, but you\u2019ll at least be able to get a quick picture. Bring an armband for your cellphone or use the on-site photographer, don\u2019t bring a full size camera onto the course. Be aware that character lines may close towards the end of the race, so you may not be able to meet everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Once you cross the finish line, you\u2019ll receive your medal and some more freebies, usually a Powerade and a box of snacks from the race sponsors. An early morning race will finish before park opening, so you can hit the park if you want (race registration doesn\u2019t cover park admission though) or head back to your room for a nap and a shower.<\/p>\n<p>When my family ran the Jingle Jungle 5K at Animal Kingdom in November, we dressed up as Huey, Dewey and Louie, so we scheduled a character breakfast at Tusker House after the race. It was a lot of fun meeting Donald and Daisy while we were still in costume.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11383 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Kevin-Mack-runDisney-Post-540x540.jpg\" alt=\"Kevin-Mack-runDisney-Post\" width=\"540\" height=\"540\" data-wp-pid=\"11383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Kevin-Mack-runDisney-Post-540x540.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Kevin-Mack-runDisney-Post-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Kevin-Mack-runDisney-Post-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Kevin-Mack-runDisney-Post-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Kevin-Mack-runDisney-Post-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Kevin-Mack-runDisney-Post-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Kevin-Mack-runDisney-Post.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Kevin-Mack-runDisney-Post-380x380.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Kevin-Mack-runDisney-Post-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Kevin-Mack-runDisney-Post-400x400.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/p>\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_over_do_it%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>Don\u2019t over do it&#8230;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A trip to Disney is a lot of walking.
