A Spooky New Addition to the runDisney Calendar Is Coming in 2024

Halloween-loving fans of the Mouse will be very happy. Plus, check out the rest of next year’s race schedule.

Disney has announced the newest event in the runDisney race year—the 2024 Disneyland Halloween Half Marathon Weekend.

The race will take place from September 5-8, 2024, and will feature four frightfully fun days of racing, including kids’ races, 5K, 10K, half marathon, and a two-race challenge for those not scared to run both the 10K and half, all themed to the spooky season, of course.

During the event, there will also be Halloween-themed entertainment along the courses, with visits from a few of your favorite Disney characters. The courses will run through Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Park.

There’s more fun during runDisney’s season than just during Halloween, though. This includes four onsite events at Walt Disney World Resort and two more at Disneyland Resort, and diehard fans of the Mouse can even participate in a few virtual events.

The races at Disneyland Resort include the Disneyland Halloween Half Marathon Weekend and the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend, which takes place from January 30 to February 2, 2025.

At Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, the four events include the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend from October 31-November 3, 2024, the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend taking place January 8-12, 2025, the Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend from February 20-24, 2025, and the runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend from April 3-6, 2025.

If you opt for the virtual experience, there are two events: the runDisney Virtual Series on June 1-August 31 and the runDisney Virtual 12Ks of Christmas on December 1-31.

Registration for the 2024 Disneyland Halloween Half Marathon Weekend will begin for Club runDisney members on February 6, 2024. General registration will open on February 13, 2024. Start training those keyboard fingers early, as tickets to the events are known to sell out scary fast!
