However, at this year’s Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend, tragedy has struck.

The race on Friday morning was open to ages 5 and older specified by the Disney website, and was plotted for 3.1 miles around the Walt Disney World property. Although the weekend continued with a 10K on Saturday and 15,000 guests participating in the half marathon on Sunday, Disney does have protocols when tragic incidents like this happen.

Unfortunately, a similar situation took place in the Wine & Dine Half Marathon in 2017, when another runner collapsed and died during the event.
Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the runner at this time.
