Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend
Runners train yearly to head down to Walt Disney World for this princess-filled weekend in February.
The event begins on February 23 with a 5k event that is great for families, beginners, or people who want to try out a runDisney event for the first time. On the following day, February 24, the race is a 10k, and on February 25, the race weekend wraps up with the Disney Princess Half Marathon.
According to the runDisney website, all three events and the Disney Fairytale Challenge are sold out. If you love these new medals, you can sign up for the virtual races and receive the same medals at home.
runDisney advertises the 2024 race weekend as an opportunity to celebrate how we are all heroes each day.
“Because each step forward, each act of kindness, each smile at a stranger… these are the moments that define your character—and can change the world. Join us for a race (or three!) and discover a brave, new hero or heroine within with a whole lotta heart. Together, let’s celebrate all of life’s courageous moments––start lines, finish lines and everything in between.”
