Here are a few pointers that runDisney has shared to help you get a head start.

Training will be challenging, but gratifying, and it’s very necessary especially if you want to compete in the longer races. RunDisney offers training programs for beginners and experts alike from its trainer Jeff Galloway, a world-class athlete who competed at the 1972 Olympic games in the 10,000-meter event. If you’re wondering how to submit proof of time for runDisney, visit for more information. Runners track their own runDisney race times and completion based on the “honor system.” Once you complete your run, submit your finish time online and download your race certificate. Afterwards, you’ll receive your virtual race medal in the mail. Once you register, you’ll need to finish the race distance in any interval or pace within the completion timeframe designated. Although standing outside your house is very different from standing at the Disney marathon start line at Epcot, it’s still very rewarding knowing you’re participating in something magical, and achieving your fitness goals! So, your Disney marathon course can literally be around your neighborhood. No matter your skill level, you’ll be a part of a community of fun-spirited runners-uniquely Disney!Īs discussed Disney has added virtual RunDisney races to all race weekends coming up. When runDisney events are listed as “virtual,” this means that it is a running event you can do on your own time at a location of your choice. Dare to test your limits? Try a multi-race challenge for the chance to earn even more medals. Runners this year can celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Walt Disney World Marathon in style with Mickey and friends! Delight in an extraordinary race weekend-put your endurance through the paces, enjoy amazing entertainment and earn commemorative medals. It’s also home to the Goofy Challenge and the Dopey Challenge where guests can put their endurance to the test and take part in multiple RunDisney events over the entire weekend. Not only that, but The Magic Kingdom is typically still decorated for Christmas with Cinderellas Castle lit up in lights. For starters these are the only RunDisney events with courses which go through The Magic Kingdom.

The Walt Disney World marathon weekend is RunDisneys featured event! Although we generally have more fun at the Wine & Dine Half Marathon weekend due to the amazing after party experience there are certain things we love about the marathon weekend at Disney.
