runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend promises to be an epic experience! Come lace up and become the hero of your own story as you conquer magical miles throughout Walt Disney World® Resort, April 3–6. Choose from an adventurous 5K, 10K or 10-Miler, or participate in a Challenge that combines all three races for a total of 19.3 miles. But no matter which you choose, you’ll be immersed in everything from meet-and-greets with rarely seen Characters to inspiring movie clips and more. There’s even a morning yoga session to kick off the weekend stretch and prepare you for the journey. Best of all? Upon completing your quest, you’ll earn a one-of-a-kind themed medal for each race you run. Complete all three races and take home a fourth Challenge medal!

Looking for travel support? Sign up for a free consultation with our wonderful friends at Magical Park Vacations at THIS LINK (whether you end up running with us or not). They have deep knowledge of the parks and traveling with a family member who has Parkinson’s disease.

NOTE: Registration for this race includes access to the Walt Disney World Resort® amusement parks for the race event only. To “ride-the-rides” you would need to purchase a separate ticket to the parks. There may be the opportunity for friends and family to come cheer you on without needing to purchase entry to the park, but this will be announced later by the runDisney organization at their discretion.

If you have questions, send us an email at Run4PD@Parkinson.org. For more information about the race itself, visit the runDisney Homepage.
