Run Disney is BACK!!!

If you know me, you know I'm a huge runDisney fan. (My first ever marathon was Dopey in 2016!!) Today, Disney has announced the return of in-person races! Details are below, and feel free to ask me about my runDisney experiences!

The 2021-2022 runDisney season will include four events:

• Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend: November 4-7, 2021
• Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend: January 5-9, 2022
• Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend: February 24-27, 2022
• runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend: March 31-April 3, 2022

There will also be some amazing NEW opportunities for runners.

• runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend: Each race season, the fourth weekend will be the runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend that will include different race themes and distances each year.
• Disney Princess Sunrise Yoga: On the first morning of the Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend, runDisney will host Disney Princess Sunrise Yoga in front of Cinderella Castle, before the theme park opens. 
• Virtual Races: All runDisney races will have a virtual race option, allowing runDisney fans across the country to participate in the races. Runners will be encouraged to run on the same morning of the on-site events, and will receive the same finisher medals!
• Just for Kids: The runDisney Kids Races during each event weekend will become runDisney Kids Adventures, focused on health, fitness, and fun for kids!

Regarding COVID-19 guidelines, Disney has announced that "While across businesses and communities COVID-19 guidelines are trending in a direction that could allow for a more familiar runDisney race experience, during the race weekend we may implement health and safety measures, such as face coverings, physical distancing and other requirements if they are deemed appropriate. As COVID-19 guidelines may change before the return to on-site running, race weekends may not include every element from previous years. runDisney will continue to provide the latest updates to participants leading up to race weekends, so keep an eye on www.rundisney.com for all race details."
