runDisney will partner with Echelon and MISSION in new multi-year sponsorships beginning in 2024.

This week runDisney is kicking off its latest race with the 2023 Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon in Walt Disney World. We’ve already gotten a preview of the medals and merchandise for this exciting annual event taking place over the next few days. And, looking ahead, there is a lot to look forward to in the coming years with runDisney. Recently, we got a look at the races that will be available for 2024 and 2025 at Disney World and Disneyland. And now, runDisney has announced two new sponsorships beginning in 2024.

runDisney Announces Echelon and MISSION Partnerships

runDisney has announced two multi-year sponsorships with Echelon and MISSION beginning in 2024. Echelon is a global leader in fitness, wellness, and sports, making it the perfect partner for runDisney. As part of their new relationship, Echelon will “feature its innovative connected fitness equipment on-site at runDisney races and have a presence at runDisney yoga events, plus offer interactive demonstrations at runDisney race expos.”

“Our runDisney series combines the magic of Disney with the exhilaration of running, making it a one-of-a-kind experience for our participants,” said runDisney Vice President Adam Ball. “By teaming up with Echelon, we will be able to bring even more convenient and enjoyable fitness options to our runDisney community and fans.”

runDisney will also begin a partnership with MISSION. The company, which was established in 2008, pioneered innovative cooling solutions to address the concerns of comfort and safety. MISSION will showcase its cooling products at runDisney race weekends at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and Disneyland Resort in California.

“Magic and miles have always been at the heart of runDisney and by teaming up with MISSION cooling, we’re eager to bring a new level of cool innovation to the course,” said runDisney Vice President Adam Ball about the partnership.
