Registration for the 2026 RunDisney Princess Half Marathon opens June 24 at 10 a.m. ET — here’s how to get ahead of the pack.
RunDisney fans, mark your calendars! The highly anticipated 2026 Princess Half Marathon weekend is set for Feb. 26 to March 2 at Walt Disney World, and registration officially opens June 24 at 10 a.m. ET. With thousands of eager participants vying for a spot, the race to register is almost as intense as the run itself.
To increase your chances of snagging a coveted race bib, RunDisney officials suggest preparing early. Create your RunDisney and MyDisney accounts ahead of time at RunDisney.com and familiarize yourself with the registration process. A virtual queue system will be in place to manage the high volume of registration traffic, so being prompt — and ready — is crucial.
These races are wildly popular and continue to grow each year, drawing everyone from seasoned runners and dedicated Disney fans to casual joggers and even brisk walkers. Participants travel from around the world to be part of the magic, running through iconic Disney parks in a safe, festive, and unforgettable environment.
“There is nothing more amazing than walking — and running — through EPCOT as the sun comes up,” said Heidi Pickert, senior manager for RunDisney Sports Development. “It’s a very safe, comfortable running environment.”
RunDisney kicks off its new season in October, with race weekends held at both Walt Disney World in Orlando and Disneyland in California. To stay on top of announcements and updates, follow RunDisney on its website and across all social media platforms.
Remember: preparation is key. Log in early, be patient with the virtual queue, and have your information ready. With a little luck and a lot of magic, you just might make the cut for one of Disney’s most enchanting race weekends.
