Exciting Changes Coming to the 2020 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend

We’re about to kick off the 2019-2020 runDisney race season at Walt Disney World Resort and there are some changes coming to the 2020 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend Presented by Cigna, January 8-12, 2020, for runners and spectators.

First, there will be some exciting changes to the Walt Disney World Marathon course. Participants will run through Blizzard Beach Water Park, and will spend more time running inside Epcot, and less time on the roads outside the parks. The Marathon will start at 5:00am, 30 minutes earlier than previous years.

For runners, the event will offer a new outdoor exclusive area, where runners can take photos, pick up their gear, stretch, and recover. For spectators, ChEAR Squad packages will offer access to the finish line, popular Magic Kingdom viewing location, and other amenities, but will not include access to the open-air runner experience.

As we get closer to the 2020 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend, we’ll announce more details and the on-sale date for the new open-air runner area and ChEAR Squad packages, so be sure to keep an eye on the runDisney blog and social channels.
