2027 Walt Disney World® Marathon Weekend
About the race
After a record-selling 2026 event, we are now selling the 2027 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend with guaranteed entries.
There is something special about running through the Disney World parks, and the heavy medal placed around your neck at the finish line is part of it. We offer guaranteed bibs for the 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Marathon and the Dopey Challenge.
2027 also marks our 24th year in business, and we've been working with runDisney and an official tour operator since the very beginning.

That is 6 race shirts and 6 race medals in total: 4 race day shirts and medals, plus a bonus Goofy Challenge shirt and medal, and then the Dopey Challenge shirt and medal.
Hotel rate guarantee
As Disney won't release 2027 hotel rates until May, and by then we will already be sold out, we are guaranteeing that our rates will not increase by 10% or more than what we have published below. If they do, you may cancel for a full refund. However, if rates are less than what we expected, we will lower your package rate.

City insight: Orlando
Orlando is the county seat of Orange County in Central Florida, USA, and the state's fourth-most populous city. It is a major centre of tourism, with the Walt Disney World resort among its best-known attractions. The climate is humid subtropical, with hot, wet summers and mild, drier winters, so winter and early spring are the best seasons to race.
