We’ll turn our attention first to the 2020 runDisney Virtual Series, as registration for this at-home race series will open TOMORROW, April 16th at 10:00 AM EST.

RunDisney shares: “As people look for alternative and acceptable ways to stay active while maintaining social distancing, many are choosing to run at home. With that in mind, we are opening sales for the fifth-annual runDisney Virtual Series April 16.”

“Themed around favorite Walt Disney World Resort attractions, this series of 5K runs is a great way to bring some of the magic of the parks to your home or favorite local running trail. And to provide additional flexibility, runners will have the entire summer to complete any virtual 5K of their choosing – or the series.”

Mad Tea Party, Space Mountain, and the Haunted Mansion will be the attractions celebrated in the series (and participants will receive themed medals accordingly).

May 7, 2020 is the pre-sale date for Annual Passholders, Disney Vacation Club Members, and Golden Oak residents.
