‘Star Warsโ„ข Half Marathon – The Dark Side’ Announced for Walt Disney Worldยฎ Resort

After a successful first Star Warsโ„ข Half Marathon Weekend this past January at the Disneylandยฎ Resort, runDisney participants have been hoping for a similar event to hit the East Coast. This morning, runDisney announced a second Star Warsโ„ข Half Marathon Weekend would be added, but this time things will be focused on the dark side!

Star Warsโ„ข Half Marathon – the Dark Side Weekend will take place April 14-17, 2016, at the Walt Disney Worldยฎ Resort. In addition to the Half Marathon, the weekend’s events will include a Star Warsโ„ข 10K, Star Warsโ„ข 5K, Kids Races, and the Dark Side Challenge (Star Warsโ„ข 10K on Saturday and Star Warsโ„ข Half Marathon on Sunday). Participants can also accept the Kessel Run Challenge by completing the Star Warsโ„ข Half Marathon missions on both coasts earning them a commemorative โ€œCoast to Coastโ€ medal inspired by the Millennium Falcon starship.

The original Star Warsโ„ข Half Marathon Weekend, which will return in January at the Disneylandยฎ Resort, will be rebranded as the Star Warsโ„ข Half Marathon โ€“ the Light Side but registration for that event has already sold out.

Race registration for Star Warsโ„ข Half Marathon – the Dark Side Weekend opens Sep. 22 (Early registration starts Sep. 15th for Annual Passholders and DVC Members)! Like all runDisney events, this one is expected to sell out quickly so mark your calendars!
