runDisney will return to the Disneyland Resort with the Half Marathon Weekend from January 11-14, 2024. The weekend will include a 5K, 1oK, half marathon, and challenge (10K and half marathon).

Disneyland runDisney Half Marathon
Disneyland hasn’t seen the runDisney races return since 2017 so the Disneyland Half Marathon event is guaranteed to be a popular one next year, I expect registration will fill up quickly. This special half marathon event will include three endurance events, a runDisney challenge and more. If you plan on attending the Disneyland Half Marathon event, you may want to consider reviewing what Disneyland hotel you will say at during your race as you will likely see hotels fill up quickly for that weekend.
Disneyland runDisney participants will enjoy a variety of experiences with race courses through both Disneyland and California Adventure, one of a kind Disney finisher medals, themed participant shirt, and an abundance of entertainment to celebrate the return of runDisney to Disneyland. Entertainment will include characters appearances and live entertainment along the race route.
