Disney World is gradually returning to pre-closure normals, and a LOT of activities, entertainment, AND food are coming back.

We’ve seen a slew of announcements recently about restaurant reopenings, ride pre-shows returning, live performances returning, and more. And today, Disney shared that in-person runDisney events are returning to Disney World. 

So, with the big announcement, we wanted to explore which events are returning for 2021 and 2022!

It all starts with the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend on November 4th through 7th, 2021. And this year’s theme is Wickedly Delicious — it’s all about the villains! General registration will open on July 13, 2021.

Although Disney has said they can’t bring back every element from previous races due to current health and safety guidelines, as those guidelines change, the company does promise to keep runners in the loop on the runDisney website. And we’ll do our best to keep you updated, too! Happy running!
