Runners, get ready… set… GO! Global Running Day is right around the corner and runDisney is inviting everyone to lace up their sneakers to join in the worldwide celebration of running. From exciting races through Disney Parks to virtual events from wherever you are, runDisney is home to some of the most magical endurance events. Global Running Day will be officially celebrated on June 5, so it’s time to gear up and get excited to celebrate a spectacular running community with a few ways to add a little extra magic to your Global Running Day!
Here are some ways to enjoy your own runDisney experience no matter where you are in the world. What better way to have a few magical miles today than by creating your own at-home “race!” Put on your favorite Disney-inspired outfit, pin on our custom printable race bib and hang our mile markers for a themed run of your own. Don’t forget to share your fun in social with an Instagram filter and Giphy stickers too.
There is a Virtual Challenge that allows you to earn four medals. You’re in for a real treat this summer with the 2024 runDisney Virtual Series, which celebrates iconic Disney snacks. Global Running Day is a great opportunity to complete your runDisney Virtual 5Ks. Limited spots are still available in the Pineapple Whip Soft Serve Challenge, which includes three 5K runs and earns you four medals (and a runDisney Mickey Mouse Ear Hat Snack Bowl!)
You can even take part in your own Virtual Run. How SNACKTACULAR is that! Add even more magic to your at-home run with themed DIY running socks, which are the perfect inspiration for both your Global Running Day miles and for your runDisney Virtual Series 5Ks! You can also find special snack-themed merchandise to complete your look with the new Disney Eats collection.
Some people love to listen to podcasts during their runs and walks. For some runners, weekly miles are an important time alone with their thoughts. For others, it is a good distraction that really helps them through those last few miles.
For a little runDisney inspiration, listen in on one of the latest planDisney Podcasts to learn a few race weekend tips & tricks.
Those visiting Walt Disney World on June 5 can make it a “run”cation with nearly 16 miles of running/walking trails at various Disney Resorts. If you will be setting sail with Disney Cruise Line during Global Running Day, cross the finish line by the beach in the Castaway Cay 5K.
Everyone at runDisney wants to thank you for being a part of this magical running community. Share how you’re getting out to run on Global Running Day.
