2027 Walt Disney World® Marathon Weekend

The Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend, returning for its 24th year in January of 2027, promises to be an unforgettable adventure for runners and fans alike. This iconic race weekend offers the unique thrill of running through the enchanting landscapes of Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, where each step takes you closer to magical experiences.
The event kicks off on Thursday with a scenic 5K run, setting the stage for what will undoubtedly be a memorable week ahead. On Friday, participants lace up their shoes once more for the exhilarating 10K race. The excitement builds as Saturday arrives, featuring an invigorating half marathon that winds through some of Disney World's most beloved parks and attractions.
The grand finale on Sunday is the full Marathon event, where runners will push themselves to cross the finish line under the weight of a specially crafted medal – known for being one of the heaviest and most coveted in the running community. For those looking to take their adventure to another level, the Dopey Challenge awaits: complete all four events over four days for an unparalleled experience that includes six race shirts and medals.
Dream Travel is offering guaranteed entries into this year's event with a special promise – should Disney World’s hotel rates rise by more than 10% from what Dream Travel has quoted, participants can request a full refund. Alternatively, if the actual rate is lower, they will adjust your package cost accordingly to ensure you get the best deal.
Packages include accommodation options at value and moderate resorts within Walt Disney World Resort, such as All Star Resorts or Caribbean Beach Resort, complete with perks like complimentary breakfasts and pool access. However, runners have the flexibility to choose any hotel that suits their preferences, though prices may vary depending on your selection.
The event expo will be held in ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex from Wednesday through Saturday, providing a chance for participants to collect bib numbers and gear up before the races begin. It’s mandatory for all runners to attend this expo in person; no one else can pick up their items or bibs on behalf of another participant.
Dream Travel offers comprehensive support throughout your journey, including access to an official tour operator since day one of runDisney events. They ensure that every detail is taken care of so you can focus solely on the race and the magical moments ahead.
