2026 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend

You can be part of Dragon Master Initiative's Team Fired Up for the Dopiest Event Weekend! This weekend includes 6 possible events: 5k, 10k, Half Marathon, Marathon, Goofy Challenge, and Dopey Challenge. 

By joining Dragon Master Initiative's Team Fired Up, you will be supporting a data-driven approach to cancer and other disease research. We promote information sharing and seek to make research more effective by empowering collaboration. By assembling data from previous and current patients and making research data more accessible, we will find cancer cures in our lifetime. As part of our fundraising team, you can help make that happen even faster!

To join Team Fired Up, register and pay the fee to hold your spot, and start fundraising! The registration fee does apply to your fundraising goal.

• A personal fundraising page to help you reach your fundraising goal
• Tools and a network of teammates for support and motivation

Important: Fundraising pages must be set up within ten days of signup, including adding a photo or avatar and your fundraising story. If this is not completed, we will assume you have forfeited your spot. 

The minimum fundraising goals must be met before runDisney registration links will be issued. You are not registered with runDisney until you receive a special link from us and complete your registration. Once that is done, you are officially in the runDisney race weekend. 

We have two fundraising deadlines that you should be aware of:

1. If you want your name on your bib or if you want to submit proof of time, you must have your fundraising goal completed by June 24, 2025*. If proof of time and name on the bib doesn't matter, you have more time to meet your goal.
2. You have until Friday, December 19th, 2025*, at 12pm EST to reach your fundraising minimum. If you cannot fundraise the total amount by the deadline, you are expected to donate the remaining amount, or your race entry may be forfeited. 

We will do our best to communicate with you about your goals and deadlines, but ultimately, the responsibility to hit your goal is yours.

In the event that runDisney cancels the event, the runner's registration fee will be refunded. Otherwise, the registration fee is not refundable. 

*These dates are subject to change based on information received from runDisney. We will do our best to inform everyone of any changes.
