The newest running event at Walt Disney World – runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend – will return next year in April with a special Pixar Pals theme.

The race weekend will take place April 13-16, 2023. The 10-Miler distance and runDisney Springtime Surprise Challenge for completing all weekend races as well as runDisney Springtime Surprise Yoga are also returning.

Here are the individual race themes:

Whether you’re aiming for a leisurely jog or a personal record, get ready to speed through the lanes of this 3.1-mile course with Lightning McQueen, Mater, and all their friends. 

Disney Pixar Monsters 10K

Canisters at each mile marker get fuller and fuller as racers take a step in the ‘fright’ direction through a 6.2-mile course with Mike, Sulley, and all their friends from the world of Monstropolis.

Disney Pixar Toy Story 10 Miler

Saddle up for a 10-mile event. Racers set out on the adventure of a lifetime with Buzz, Woody, Bo Peep, and more, as they push themselves to infinity and … the finish line.
