Y’all. Disney announced the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend themes, and now is the time to start training for that marathon because the designs are PERFECT.

If you didn’t know, you can race through Disney World with runDisney! runDisney lets guests come into the parks before they open and run different race distances while meeting characters — including some super rare ones. Each runDisney weekend has a theme, and we’re spilling all the details for Marathon Weekend.
There are four in-person race weekends at Disney World each year, and for the 2026 to 2027 season, it includes:
-
- Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend — October 22nd to 25th, 2026
- Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend — January 6th to 10th, 2027
- Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend — February 25th to March 1st, 2027
- runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend — April 15th to 18th, 2027

There’s only one marathon weekend, so if you’re looking to push yourself to the next level and complete those 26.2 miles, this is the weekend you want to sign up for. While Marathon Weekend usually has the same themes, which include Mickey and Friends, it usually has some sort of flair, and this time, Donald Duck is making an appearance at all of them (he’s #1 after all).
Here’s a look at the themes:
Walt Disney World 5k –January 7th, 2027

Walt Disney World 10k — January 8th, 2027

Walt Disney World Half Marathon — January 9th, 2027

Walt Disney World Marathon — January 10th, 2027

Goofy’s Race and a Half Challenge — Includes half and full marathon

Dopey Challenge — Includes 5k, 10k, half marathon, and full marathon

Registration opens for Club runDisney members on March 10th, and general registration opens on March 17th. These are known to sell out quickly, so make sure you’re ready to snag those coveted spots.
