The Experience

In 2026, runDisney® is going to “Celebrate Happy” during the Disneyland® Half Marathon Weekend presented by HONDA, January 29–February 1. Happening amid the 70th anniversary of the Disneyland® Resort, this race weekend will be centered around some of the different ways to celebrate what delights us most. So come enjoy miles of smiles during a 5K hosted by Joy from Disney and Pixar’s Inside Out. Join Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey in an imaginative 10K. Run together with a friend as part of an “it’s a small world®” attraction-themed half marathon. And, for the ultimate achievement, take on the Dumbo Double Dare challenge made up of both the 10K and the half marathon. There are even Kids’ Races hosted by Stitch and morning yoga with Miss Piggy. As always, magic and one-of-a-kind medals are included.   Participants must attend the runDisney Health & Fitness Expo at least one day prior to their first event to pick up their race bib, participant shirt and pre-purchased merchandise. The Expo takes place Thursday, January 29 – Saturday, January 31.    All Disney names and logos are used with permission, which in no way constitutes an endorsement by Disney, express or implied, of any organization, company, or fundraising campaign.
