Participants can choose to run, jog or walk, whether it be on a treadmill, around the neighborhood, or at another nearby location. You can take part in the runDisney Virtual Series on your own, or joined by friends or family – or even your dog!

The runDisney Virtual Series is a great way for someone to get started running and to get a taste of a runDisney event. It’s also a fun way for experienced runners to train for their upcoming runDisney races at Disney Parks.

The themes for the 2019 runDisney Virtual Series include:

  • Virtual June 5K – Captain Marvel
  • Virtual July 5K – Iron Man
  • Virtual August 5K – Black Panther
  • Challenge – Marvel 80th Anniversary
