  • Looking so forward. I am from the Netherlands, a runner and a huge Disney fan (bin 8 times in Disney World) This is the first time i will participate a RunDisney event. So excited

  • I’ve done five half marathons at Walt Disney World and five half marathons at Disneyland. Where is the event guide and course map and the waiver for those who are not minors that we are supposed to bring to packet pickup? I leave North America THIS week, not next.

  • When do you plan to release the event guide?? I’ve never participated in a rundisney event that has so few details 9 days before it begins.

  • Do you know when the course maps and/or event guide will be published? According to the race website, they were going to be released about 2 weeks before the event, but we haven’t seen anything.
