Calling all Star Wars and runDisney fans!
The time to register for the Star Wars Rival Run Weekend and Star Wars Virtual Half Marathon has come! Recently, we shared the news with you when early registration for Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members opened up for these races. Starting today, the general public can register for both events!
The Star Wars Rival Run Weekend is set to take place April 15th through April 18th in 2021 at Walt Disney World Resort.
If you visit the runDisney website, you can check out all of the events going on that weekend and register for those that you want to participate in. The events include a 5k, 10k, and half marathon, as well as several challenges if you’re strong with the force and ready to run more than one race! There are also several kids runs, although the website currently says to check back for updates on those.
As of this morning, it appears spots were still open for registration for several races. When we tried to register, however, we were met with the following loading page. We tried to meditate like a Jedi to keep our patience as we waited!
After some waiting, we were finally prompted to log in and select the race(s) we wanted to register for.
Registration is also open for the Star Wars Virtual Half Marathon.
This race is set to take place (virtually) between January 1st and March 31st in 2021.
As of this morning, it appears spots were still open for this race as well.
Spots tend to fill up incredibly quickly for runDisney races, so if you want to run in one of these special events, be sure to try to register as quickly as possible!
We’ll keep you updated as to any more updates on runDisney events. If you’re registering for the races today — may the Force be with you!

I wish they had pictures of the medals. That usually how I gauge which races I’ll do. The coolest medal. 😂
