We get quite a bit of unintentional exercise in the Disney parks.
From the speed walking at rope drop to the sometimes ridiculous stretches we have to do to get on and off rides to the 15,000-step days when you’re in the park from open to close, you’re definitely getting a bit of a workout in during your Disney vacation. However, if you want to be even more intentional about your Disney exercise, you can sign up to do a runDisney race in the parks. And there’s a NEW one coming to Disneyland Resort soon!
On September 5th-8th, 2024, Disneyland Resort will host its first-ever Disneyland Halloween Half Marathon Weekend. Since we’re only a few weeks out, Disney has released a sneak peek at the race weekend merchandise!
To purchase these items, those participating in the races can visit the runDisney Health & Fitness Expo throughout the weekend to shop the collection. The whole collection is inspired by the Halloween season, with nods to various popular spooky Disney characters!
The shirts for the races feature characters like Chip ‘n’ Dale, the hitchhiking ghosts from Haunted Mansion, and Minnie, Daisy, and Clarabelle Cow dressed as the Sanderson sisters from Hocus Pocus.
If you want something to keep you warm, you can also check out the Nightmare Before Christmas-inspired jacket. It has Zero on the back!
And of course, it wouldn’t be a collection without some Minnie ears! This pair has a Disney Halloween character pattern on the front with a spiderweb bow, then the race weekend logo on the back.
The runDisney Health & Fitness Expo will be available at the Disneyland Hotel during select times throughout the weekend. The open times are as follows:
- Thursday, September 5th, 2024: 10AM–8PM
- Friday, September 6th, 2024: 12PM–8PM
- Saturday, September 7th, 2024: 10AM-4PM
If you want to shop the merchandise on the first day, you’ll need to join the virtual queue in the Disneyland app. Virtual queue will be the only way to shop the merchandise collection on the first day of the expo and the queue will be used as needed throughout the rest of the weekend.
We have a feeling some of these items are going to be pretty popular, like those ears or the Halloween Half Marathon Weekend Loungefly backpack! There will also be a new Corkcicle design available for purchase.
And of course, Disney couldn’t leave out the Magic Key holders! If you have a Disneyland Resort Magic Key, you can check out the exclusive race weekend shirt.
We’ll be on the lookout for more updates on the race weekend, so stay tuned to DFB for the latest!
