Run into the holiday spirit!Â

If you’re a runner, it’s time to start gearing up for runDisney’s 12Ks of Christmas Challenge. If you complete it this December, you could earn three merry 4K medals, and a Challenge medal featuring Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse.Â
When you visit Disney World, you agree to abide by the theme parks’ rules the minute you step onto Disney property.
Haunted Mansion
Now, some of these rules are pretty strict, meaning that if you break them, you could get banned from the parks. There are even rules you may not even be aware of, but they’re still rules nonetheless. Of course, there are also unspoken rules. When it comes to rides, there are also rules that you need to follow, but one ride, Haunted Mansion, has a big one that Cast Members hope you don’t break (because people do it ALL the time).
If you’re planning to visit Disney World next weekend, be prepared for some potential crowd problems.Â
Main Street, U.S.A.
One of runDisney’s popular annual events will take place at the Walt Disney World Resort from April 18th through the 21st. The Springtime Surprise Weekend is chock full of great moments for those participating. However, like any runDisney event, it can lead to some headaches for those simply visiting the resort while it’s happening.
Are you a runner? Do you participate in runDisney events?
Running at Animal Kingdom
Maybe you were at Disney World recently for the 2023 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend. Or maybe you’re looking forward to runDisney events that will eventually return to Disneyland in 2024. Whatever the case, if you love Disney and you like medals and running, there’s a special challenge you need to know about!
Running may not be everyone’s favorite activity, but most people probably agree that running in Disney World is way more fun than on a treadmill.

While many runDisney races had to be canceled or were transformed into virtual events last year, runDisney is getting ready to resume in-person races in Disney World very soon. First up is the Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend, which will be held this fall in Disney World. If you’re hoping to run this race and want to register early, you can start today, but only if you’re a member of a special club.
This summer, runDisney’s Summer Virtual Series is inspired by The Lion King! Participants run in three virtual 5K races and receive a Lion King-themed medal for each!

In 2020, Disney canceled the 2020 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend set for March of that year. Other events were canceled or were turned into virtual events. This included the 2021 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend.
Disney World Cast Members have a way of making every single guest feel special when they enter the parks.
