Magical Miles & MORE Return to Disneyland Resort During the 2024 Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend!

It’s going to be a memorable race weekend full of magical miles and so much more at the Disneyland Resort as we get ready for the return of the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend, taking place January 11-14, 2024! Registered participants can enjoy a variety of experiences - from exciting race courses through both theme parks and iconic Anaheim destinations, to one-of-a-kind coveted Disney finisher medals, themed participant shirts, and more entertainment than we have seen at prior Disneyland Half Marathon Weekends including character appearances in the theme parks and live entertainment along the route. It will be a can’t-miss return of runDisney events to Disneyland Resort.

Guests of all ages can become a part of this incredibly special race weekend at The Happiest Place on Earth. Throughout the weekend, participants can experience fan-favorite events for all skill levels, including the return of runDisney Kids Races, as well as a brand-new Yoga offering. As we get closer to registration within the next two weeks, we’re excited to share more details about all that’s in store!

Participants will be able to kick things off at the runDisney Health & Fitness Expo, where they can purchase commemorative Disney race merchandise and running gear from vendors throughout the country who specialize in unique gear, participate in photo opportunities and learn more about the Celebrated Charity. Then they can experience a variety of race events and the return of the Dumbo Double Dare challenge, which combines the Disneyland 10K and Disneyland Half Marathon. The weekend’s theme, which celebrates classic, mid-century Disneyland nostalgia, features the following characters:

Goofy | Disneyland Yoga
