Click here for a complete list of the types of marathons you can expect, the scheduled dates, and which are still available.
Plan Your Trip Beforehand
You’re obviously looking forward to the Disney Marathon Weekend, but since you’ll already be at the park, there’s no reason not to plan a full visit. Even if not everyone in your party is going to join in on one of the races, they can watch from the sidelines and then join you for the rest of Disney World’s amazing attractions and rides. Plus, you can register for the races early if you are part of one of these groups:
- Walt Disney World Passholder
- Disneyland Passholder
- Disney Vacation Club Member
- Golden Oak Club Member
Get Expert Training
Why not start off the Disney Marathon Weekend by signing up for a training session with a true professional? Both novice and veteran runners will learn how to get the most out of each race and how to stay safe and healthy with the help of a series of training programs presented by former Olympian and runDisney trainer Jeff Galloway. Before you know it, you’ll feel like an expert yourself!
Run as Your Favorite Character
It may not be Halloween, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the Disney Marathon Weekend as your favorite Disney character. If you and your family are so inclined, you can suit up with outfits inspired by a variety of characters. You can even run together as a family by dressing up as The Incredibles.
Invite Your Friends Along
Even though you may be excited about signing up for the Disney Marathon Weekend, perhaps some of your friends and family members aren’t too keen on being involved in a race. That’s perfectly okay. Every year, many people attend the race just to watch, even if they don’t know anyone who’s actually running. As previously stated, bringing someone along to either run one of the races with you or to simply attend Disney World afterward will end up being a perfect adventure for everyone.
Pick Up a Commemorative Item
There are so many wonderful souvenirs you can take home from Disney World that it’s often difficult to choose which ones you want. Well, the Disney Marathon Weekend makes it even harder because there are several types of beautiful trinkets that commemorate the event, too. You’ll have several different race bundles to pick from that include items such as Mickey Mouse ear hats, ornaments, mugs, magnets, pens, and more.
