Please familiarize yourself with the following runDisney registration policies

• Entry fees for Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend events, Commemorative Items, donations or any other event-related purchases are non-refundable and include a separate processing fee, except for donations.
• Disney reserves the right to refuse the entry into, and/or revoke any registration for, any race for any reason in its sole discretion with refund of any applicable registration fees being the sole remedy of any such refusal and/or revocation.
• Registrations may be transferred within the same race weekend to a longer race distance, as long as the desired race distance is not sold out. Transfers are not allowed for the runDisney Kids Races. The Guest must log into their runDisney account and select the registration they wish to transfer. Once the Guest has selected the new distance they wish to transfer to, the Guest will be prompted to pay any difference in registration price (if any) and then a transfer processing fee will be applied.
• Race entries/bibs are not transferrable from one person/participant to another person/participant. Sale, trade and/or transfer of race entry/bib number is strictly prohibited and may result in the disqualification of and/or banning of offenders from participating at future events. Anyone caught attempting to sell or transfer their race entry/bib to another person/participant, pick up another person's/participant's race entry/bib, or participate in a race using another participant's race entry/bib, will have said race entry/bib cancelled and/or revoked, be disqualified and be removed from the race without refund.
• Event merchandise purchased is subject to sales tax. Participant must pick up all event merchandise before the end of the Expo. Uncollected merchandise will not be shipped to participants. runDisney and its affiliates reserve the right to dispose of uncollected merchandise in any manner at their sole discretion.

Dates, times, locations and prices subject to change. All races are subject to capacity limits and may close at any time.

Except for runDisney Kids Races, all participants must be able to maintain a 16-minute-per-mile pace. A training pace of 15-minute-per-mile pace is recommended.

Pace cyclists will be on the course waving light wands or flags to indicate when runners are behind pace at each mile marker in accordance with the official pace time. If you reach a mile marker with a waving light wand or flag, you are behind the required 16-minute-per-mile pace and can be picked up at any time and taken to the tent in the Family Reunion Area.

If you believe you will finish the Half Marathon in 2 hours and 45 minutes (2:45) or less, proof of time is required for start corral placement. If you believe you will finish the half marathon in over 2:45, proof of time is not required. Corral placement is based on your anticipated finish time and corral capacities. Challenge participants should adhere to the Half Marathon proof of time requirements. Proof of time is not required for the 5K and 10K races. Please reference the Pacing Requirements in the Events Section for finish times and associated pacing per mile for the Half Marathon.

We do not accept relays, self-timed, training, trail runs or virtual runs as proof of time. Proof of time must be provided by the participant for each individual race from an officially timed 10K, 12K, 15K, 10-Mile, Half Marathon race reflecting results within the last 2 years.

Past runDisney races may be used as proof of time, however you will need to submit them with your race registration. Runners will be placed in the last corral if the required proof of time is not submitted. If you submit a proof of time from a race distance other than a Half Marathon, an industry standard calculation will be applied to equate your finish time.

A valid proof of time provided at the time of registration must include the following: Name of Race, Distance, City, State, Date, Finish time, Link to Results.

If proof of time is not provided by the Proof of Time deadline (see Event Section Proof of Time Guidelines), or if the data provided is incomplete or cannot be verified, you will be placed in the last start corral. No corral changes will be made after such date.

For any questions regarding proof of time, please email [email protected]

Event waivers will be available online approximately 2 weeks before the race. Please keep in mind the following:

• You must have your signed waiver and a photo ID with you to pick up your race bib.
• A parent or legal guardian must complete and sign the waiver for any participant under 18 years old. No exceptions will be made.

Participants must pick up their own race bib during regularly scheduled hours during the runDisney Health & Fitness Expo. Individuals will not be able to pick up race bibs on behalf of others. Please remember to fill out the Emergency Medical Information on the back of the bib number. The letter on your bib will determine your assigned corral.

Parents or legal guardians must download and complete the personalized race waiver for their children and pick up their race bib.

All participants must have a valid ID in order to pick up your race bib (driver's license, passport, Military ID, Government issued ID). If you do not have a valid photo ID, we cannot issue you your race bib. No exceptions will be made.

It is the responsibility of the runner to wear the bib during the race. Please wear the race bib centered on the front of your outermost garment. In order to receive an accurate time, please confirm that your bib is:

• Clearly visible on the front of the torso
• Unaltered and unmodified (do not fold or wrinkle or iron)
• Pinned in all four corners
• Not covered with shirts, jackets, winter wear, runner belts, water bottles, etc.

If a runner is seen without their bib number while running on the course, they will be removed from the course for security and safety reasons.

Any participant who conducts themselves in an unsportsmanlike manner or who is offensive in action or language to event officials, other participants, volunteers or spectators may be disqualified. Individuals disqualified from a race will be removed from the race results and may be barred from future runDisney events.

runDisney and its affiliates reserve the right to refuse the entry into, and/or revoke any registration for, any race for any reason in its sole discretion with refund of any applicable registration fees being the sole remedy of any such refusal and/or revocation.

Violators will be removed from the course and transported to the finish line area.
• Headphones are discouraged due to audio messages that are placed throughout the course to ensure runner safety.
• 
  runDisney can offer human guides to assist registered participants with disabilities. Please contact run[email protected], no later than 90 days in advance of the event.
