There has been an awakening as Star Wars fans prepare for the inaugural runDisney Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend. It is four days of Star Wars fandom, Disney magic, and running events for fans of all ages. It’s the first of its kind, and the one thing in the galaxy that could inspire me to take up running.

The runDisney Star Wars Half Marathon Weekend is four days of Star Wars-themed events this coming January 15-18 at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. The experience kicks off with the runDisney Health and Fitness Expo, a three-day exhibition with the latest in fitness gear, guest speakers, and more. Thursday night, there is also a Wookiee Welcome Party, a private event at Disneyland Park. But these events are just the beginning.

Races begin on Friday, January 16, with the Star Wars 5K followed by Saturday’s Star Wars 10K and the Star Wars Half Marathon on Sunday. All of the races are Star Wars-themed, taking runners through Disneyland Resort parks and the surrounding city of Anaheim. The courses are filled with Star Wars and Disney characters (and maybe a few other surprises as well). On Saturday, there are even runDisney Kids Races for children eight and under.
