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 three fundraising deadlines that you should be aware of:

1. If you want your name on your bib or to submit proof of time, you must have met your fundraising goal by TBD-, 2026. If proof of time and name on the bib doesn't matter, you have more time to meet your goal.
2. To maintain your race entry, 50% of your fundraising minimum must be reached by October 14, 2026. If this milestone is not met, you will be required to contribute the remaining balance to reach 50%, or your race entry may be forfeited. 
3. You have until January 23, 2027, 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 for meeting your goals is yours.

If any one or more of the Races is not held for any reason, Disney will have no liability or other obligation whatsoever to Organization or any other person other than to refund Organization any Race Registration fees Organization paid Disney for those Races (whereupon Organization will refund to the individual guests all amounts they paid Organization for those Races not held).
