🗓️ Key 2026 Disney Princess Registration Dates

If you're hoping to join the 2026 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend, it’s important to register on time, as these races sell out quickly. Here are the important dates you need to know:

• Club runDisney Registration: June 17, 2025

• General Registration: June 24, 2025

  
  

Club runDisney members get early access to registration, so if you’re a member, be sure to take advantage of this perk. If you’re not a member, don’t worry! You’ll still have plenty of time to sign up once general registration opens, but spots will fill up fast, so be ready!

💡 Tips for a Successful Registration

1. Sign Up Early: Registration opens for Club runDisney members on June 17, 2026. General registration opens a week later, on June 24, 2026. Be ready to sign up as soon as registration opens!

2. Get in the Virtual Queue: Log in to the registration website at least 20 minutes before the official registration time to get into the virtual waiting room. This gives you a better chance of securing a spot.

3. Use Multiple Devices: To improve your chances, access the registration site from multiple devices (e.g., phone, tablet, desktop). This can increase your likelihood of getting through the virtual queue faster.

4. Prepare Your Information: Before registration opens, make sure you have all the necessary details ready, including your name, date of birth, emergency contact, and preferred race category.

5. Payment Details: Have your payment information ready to go so you can complete your registration as quickly as possible once you get in.
