On Wednesday, June 30, runDisney announced in-person races are officially returning to Walt Disney World (WDW) for the 2021-2022 season.

At the time of the announcement, four races were revealed, along with some other race-related opportunities.

Plus, Disney confirmed that there are virtual races for each event for anyone who can’t make the in-person races or prefers to run at home.

And in place of the usual runDisney kids events, this time around there will be runDisney Kids Adventures focusing on health, fitness, and fun.
