The marathon weekend opened reservations this morning and immediately began experiencing some technical issues. Runners were put in a waiting room or couldn’t access the site at all due to technical problems. Finally, reservations opened around 12:30PM ET and some runners were able to secure their spots. However, many of the races sold out FAST.
As of 1:20PM ET, 5 of the 6 main races/challenges in the 2023 Disney World Marathon Weekend have SOLD OUT. Currently, the sold-out races include the Walt Disney World 5K, the Walt Disney World 10K, the Half-Marathon, Goofy’s Race-and-a-Half Challenge, and the Dopey Challenge.
UPDATE: As of 1:45 PM ET all 6 of the main races/challenges have sold out, including the Walt Disney World Marathon.

2023’s marathon weekend is celebrating runDisney’s 30th anniversary with a retro theme! This exciting anniversary might be part of the reason for the races selling out so quickly, although these events tend to sell out every year.
