The complete 2026–2027 calendar for runDisney events has now been officially released, giving runners plenty of notice to plan their race weekends, training schedules, and Walt Disney World trips well into 2027.
Disneyland Resort runDisney events will be placed on hiatus due to ongoing construction projects. As a result, all in person race weekends during this cycle will take place at Walt Disney World Resort, alongside a growing lineup of virtual events that can be completed from anywhere.
Here is everything you need to know.
