Event Details

A race that's grown in popularity with each passing year, the Walt Disney World Half Marathon offers runners the chance to run through a truly "magical" course, along a route through Disney's Magic Kingdom, Epcot Center, MGM Studios and much more during what is usually Orlando's best weather for running at any time of the year. Runners who want to run this race need to think ahead, however -- the next chance you'll have to run it is in January 2010, as the 2009 running of the race has already sold out, with more than 30,000 runners signing up for the race.

Run entirely on paved surfaces, this half-marathon follows an out-and-back course through the park that starts and finishes at Epcot, and it starts early -- half marathon participants are asked to be at the starting line by 4:00 AM for the 6:00 AM start. The next day, half participants are invited to join the full marathon participants for the awards ceremony at the park's Downtown Disney Pleasure Island.


Race Weather & Climate

January temperatures tend to be cool to mild in Orlando, with the average during the month falling between 50°F and 72°F. Rainfall is a possibility, as precipitation averages just under 2 1/2 inches for the month.


Fees

$115
