Hey there, runDisney fans! Get ready to lace up those sneakers and hit the ground running (or walking) because the 2024 runDisney Virtual Series is back and it’s sweeter than ever. This year, runDisney is diving into a theme that’s bound to get our taste buds dancing and your feet moving: A Snacktacular Celebration! That’s right, this Disney snack-inspired virtual race series is the perfect excuse to celebrate the iconic treats we all adore, all while earning some seriously cool medals. Let’s look at the runDisney Virtual Series theme!
Mickey Mouse Waffle 5K
First up on our snack-inspired journey is the Mickey Mouse Waffle 5K. If you’re anything like ,e, the mere thought of those sweet, fluffy, Mickey-shaped waffles is enough to get you out of bed and ready to conquer 3.1 miles. This event is all about starting your runDisney Virtual Series with a sprinkle of magic and a whole lot of fun. So, why not make your own magical morning by running (or walking) your 5K and then treating yourself to a delicious waffle breakfast? Talk about a win-win!
Mickey Mouse Bar 5K
Next, we’re keeping things cool with the Mickey Mouse Bar 5K. Inspired by the iconic Mickey-shaped ice cream bar, this virtual race is your chance to design a course that’s as unique as the snack itself. Whether you’re a fan of the chocolate coating, the vanilla ice cream, or the magical combination of both, this 5K is a delicious way to add some sweetness to your summer. Plus, it’s an excellent excuse to enjoy a Mickey Mouse ice cream bar post-race. Because, let’s be honest, you’ve earned it!
Minnie Mouse Candy Apple 5K
The Snacktacular series wouldn’t be complete without a nod to the Minnie Mouse Candy Apple, and that’s exactly what the Minnie Mouse Candy Apple 5K is all about. This event celebrates the cute, crunchy, and utterly delightful treat that has become a fan favorite over the years. Running (or walking) this virtual 5K is like taking a bite out of Disney magic, and we’re here for it. So, get ready to crunch some miles and maybe a candy apple or two when you’re done.
Pineapple Whip Soft Serve Challenge
For those of us craving a bit more of a challenge, runDisney is ‘whipping’ up something special: the Pineapple Whip Soft Serve Challenge. By completing all three virtual 5Ks, you’ll not only have 9.3 miles under your belt but also the chance to earn an extra-special finisher medal, a challenge pin replica, and—for the first time ever—a runDisney® Mickey Ear Snack Bowl. It’s the ultimate way to celebrate your achievements and show off your love for Disney snacks.
