Let’s be honest, a trip to Walt Disney World is really an exercise program disguised as a vacation. Guests walk mile upon mile every day and, by the end of the night, your feet have had enough. While just walking around Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney Springs may be enough for some people, others like to go an extra mile or 13, maybe even 26!
The Walt Disney World Marathon weekend is one of the most popular weekends at Disney World, as runners from around the globe head to the Most Magical Place on Earth for the chance to run through the four theme parks before they are open to Guests. The full marathon weekend is not the only runDisney event that happens at the Resort throughout the year, and they are all loved by thousands.
In anticipation of the new year, runDisney has announced dates for the Walt Disney World Marathon weekend and more. Have a look!
