Walt Disney World Resort Fun Runs
Disney and running go together like peanut butter and jelly. Well maybe I’m exaggerating a little bit here but Disney must think they go together pretty well since they have set up multiple fun runs at various resorts on property. So grab your whole family - walkers, kids and strollers included and take a run (or stroll) around the beautiful properties at the Walt Disney World Resort. You don’t have to be staying at the resort either to participate in the fun runs - you can just show up on that morning to sign up and run! Once you cross the finish line you will receive some awesome Disney swag and in some cases some yummy Disney food too! The below fun runs listed below were as of late 2019, but it is always best to visit your Walt Disney World Resort Concierge Desk or call 407-WDW-PLAY before you show up to the races to confirm the details. Now let’s get to the fun run details:
