Whilst the runDisney events currently only take place in the Walt Disney World Resort, this hasn’t always been the case. Until 2015, runDisney weekends took place in Disneyland, California as well as Walt Disney World. The final run weekend to take place in Anaheim was the Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend in January 2015. Other race weekends had taken place at the Disney Park, including the Tinker Bell Half Marathon Weekend and the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend.

But news just in is that runDisney will once again return to Disneyland. Earlier today, Josh D’Amaro hosted A Boundless Future: Disney Parks, Experience and Products at the D23 Expo, and confirmed that a new runDisney event is set to be available to Guests in 2024. Details for the event are not yet available to view, however D’Amaro suggested that registration will open in 2024 ahead of the event taking place in the same year.
