Registration for the 2018 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend opens May 2 for the general public. Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members can register this week. We strongly recommend registering as soon as it opens up as the runDisney races sell out in near-record time. The race weekend is February 22-25, 2018.
