Well, my friends, after weeks of speculation, we’ve finally heard from runDisney on the status of the Disneyland races. As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, all runDisney Disneyland races have been canceled beginning 2018 due to the rigorous construction schedule for Star Wars and other significant updates to the California parks. With construction lasting an anticipated 2-3 years, will this mean the races will come back? Or is this truly the end? In the meantime, here’s the latest on the current runDisney race schedule 2017-2018:

Here’s the week of October 15 – October 22, 2017:

R.I.P.

Our coast to coast dreams are dashed beyond 2018! I’m very sad. I do hope they bring these races back bigger and better than ever. The Kessel Run (When you participate in The Light Side Half Marathon Weekend and The Dark Side Half Marathon in the same year!) would have been amazing.
