Disney cancels April’s 2020 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend
runDisney has canceled the 2020 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend in April due to the coronavirus pandemic.
On-sale dates for future runDisney races will be adjusted, and Disney said it will have more information on that soon.
“In an abundance of caution, the 2020 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend will be cancelled. In addition, because our runDisney races require the presence of local medical professionals and first responders to monitor and treat runners, this will free up those resources for more critical needs during this time,” runDisney announced on its website.
All participants for the Star Wars Rival Run Weekend, which includes the 5K, 10K, Half-Marathon and kids races at Walt Disney World Resort who purchased their registrations on runDisney.com will receive a refund for their race registration.
Runners registered for the 2020 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend at Walt Disney World Resort will receive a refund back to their original form of payment for the following:
- Race registration (Half Marathon, 10k, 5k, Rival Run Challenge)
- Commemorative merchandise
- ChEAR Squad
- Processing fee
Guests who’ve already received a partial refund will receive their remaining balance to a Disney gift card.
Refunds from runDisney can be expected to be processed in four to six weeks, according to Disney.
If runners booked through a charity or tour operator should reach out directly to that organization.
