Was looking ahead for 2028. Was thinking about running the marathon and then heading to the port and getting on a Disney Cruise same day. Has anyone done this? How did it go with having enough time? Yes I know I will be tired.

Hi to all the run Disney people! I am trying to sign up a race (probably a half, but I’ll do with any) for the first time and looking for advice — how the heck do I get in? I know it is very competitive. I am signed up for run Disney emails so am assuming that’s how I will get notified of the registration dates? Being a first timer, I don’t want to miss the date(s)! Any tips?

Thanks in advance! I hope everyone is having fun training for their races!

I’ve tried to get into the last few virtual races, because the parks aren’t an easy option for me due to where I live. I have been unsuccessful with the virtual options though. Have they tightened up on the amount of people who can signup? Because there was a virtual race last year, might have been summer or Christmas, that had openings even after the timeframe for the races had started. But ever since, the virtual options are selling out so fast. Does anyone have tips on how to secure a virtual race spot?

Of course the theme should be Beauty and the Beast!

Hi! Just checking I haven’t missed anything, but I feel like spots have usually opened up by now for the Wine and Dine, but I haven’t seen any alerts come through in telegram since registration day. Anyone else notice this? Or is my app just bugging out?

Hi! As stated above, meron bang joiner dito? May I know if same day din ba i-release or ma-receive yung race bib/number (if meron)

First-time joiner kasi ako, and I'm not sure if this was announced on the page upon purchasing. Hope someone notices and responds. Thank you in advance!

I'd like to get custom running shirts for myself, my daughter, and my wife. I know I could just hop on Etsy, but with the billions of options available there, I was hoping to get some feedback and insight from community members on who they've used and could recommend. I've got a general idea of what I want, but I'm looking for someone who isn't afraid to take the idea and run with it (pun not intended lol). Much obliged!

If it can't be posted here, my apologies - but please feel free to DM me :)

I swear I have read and read over the Magic Mile info in the training plan packet, but I just don’t understand.

Should I run it straight through or can I run-walk it? Am I supposed to run it at a pace that’s completely unsustainable for 13.1 miles? Is it supposed to show the pace I should be able to maintain when I’m done with the training plan? What’s the purpose of the Magic Mile - as in, if it’s supposed to show me my progress, what progress am I supposed to be measuring?

It’s genuinely not clicking with me.

Could someone please explain the Magic Mile to me like I’m a five year old?

What is everyone wearing for shoes? Been running in brooks for training will be buying a new pair soon and thinking of switching.

Hi - do the buses for the race pick up if you are at a Disney Springs hotel, like the Drury? If not, how do people get to the race start locations?

Hi all, I'm doing the W&D half in October for the first time and wondering where the best places to spectate are other than the Start/Finish. Do they have spectating in Hollywood Studios similar to what they have for the other races in Magic Kingdom?

Or is it truly only the Start/Finish and possibly Boardwalk area.

Thanks in Advance. :)

Hello all,

I will be participating in the 2027 Princess Half Marathon weekend, and I am trying to beat my fellow time-share people by booking lodging by booking around now. However, for those who have participated before, when is the Expo usually taking place? I would like to be there when it is happening.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Don’t hold back! Pros and cons of both.

Reveal tomorrow

Hello! I am running my first Wine & Dine Half Marathon (second RunDisney race) and my husband and son are coming to spectate. We’re staying at AKL Kidani. I will likely be in corral D and finish about 8/8:15. We will have a rental car. 

If they want to see me at the finish, am I right that our options are:

1. Arrive with me via rental car or bus at 4, hang out or nap in the car until I’m done. 

2. Drive to Epcot after 7 when most road closures end, park in the Eve parking lot, and likely make it for 8 although there could be traffic or other delays. 

Please correct me if I’m wrong or let me know if I’m missing other options—thanks

I’m hoping to get my first runDisney bib in 2028, preferably Princess 10K in Disney World. As this will be my first runDisney race, do you have any tips on how best to obtain a bib, when does registration open, etc.? TIA!

Sooooo pretty much all the WDW resort hotels are booked solid, like you cannot book for the weekend of October 22-25 pretty much at all. Does that make anyone else kind of nervous for the state of the race weekend? I'm one of probably a zillion people doing the 5k and I'm SWEATING thinking about picking up a bib at the expo that Thursday! Is the whole weekend going to be a miserable crush? Please tell me I'm overreacting! 😬

Hi my friend and I are signed up for the wine and dine 5k and it’s our first run Disney event. I see people post about picking up your bib beforehand but is it possible to pick it up day of at the race? My friend lives in Tampa whereas I’m local. Not sure she could drive here for a bib and drive back. Would I be able to pick it up for her? Thanks for any advice.

Edit to add: thanks for the advice I’ll make sure she gets here before 8pm

Hi! I know it's impossible to predict corral placement, but I am looking to see if I should retry for a better POT. I'm running my first rundisney for the Springtime surprise 10 miler.

My current 10K time was 54:49. I was absolutely booking it and on a gel high, so I'm totally willing to just be happy with what I have if that's the advice you think is right.

I have a ten miler and a half coming up, but I'm expected to be more in the 1:40:00 range for 10 miles and 2:20:00-ish range for the half.

I've seen some people say that in years past, the corral A cutoff was 54:45 for the Princess Half in 2024. My goal is more to be able to meet as many characters as possible, so if 54:49 will put me in a place that it's going to be doable, I definitely will just let happy be.

My prayers for some indication about races returning to Disneyland (hopefully in 2028)

Hey everyone. I’ve been working on cleaning out my closet and I’ve got just a huge pile of shirts from all my old race weekends. They are all too big and I don’t wear any of them anymore. Just curious what everyone does with their old shirts.

Also I’ve got some extra pins that my father purchase for Spring time Surprise challenge that he didn’t want since he wasn’t able to complete the challenge. Any ideas as to what to do with them?
