Whether you love running/jogging/walking, you love The Lion King, you love collecting medals, or you just love Disney — we’ve got an activity for you! For several years, Disney has offered virtual races that family and friends can run on their own in their neighborhoods, and now registration for the 2021 summer Virtual Series (themed to The Lion King!!) is available.
Earlier this week, we shared that the 2021 runDisney summer Virtual Series will be themed to the classic Disney film, The Lion King. And now registration is officially available! To register, visit the runDisney website and select the races you want to sign up for.
