One perk of running a runDisney race is the unique opportunity that racers have to run on property and through some of the Disney World theme parks. With this, Disney has to clear certain parts of the race course to allow runners to safely get by.
Princess Half Marathon 2023
The runDisney Princess Half Marathon course will cause certain roads near Polynesian Village Resort, the Grand Floridian, Wilderness Lodge, and the Contemporary to be closed or restricted on February 24th and 25th.
Restrictions and closures will take place on February 24th from 3AM to 7:30AM to accommodate the Princess 10K. The following day, February 25th, they will take place from 3AM to 10AM to accommodate the Princess Half Marathon.
