runDisney Princess Half Marathon Weekend 2027 | Stay 10 Min from Disney
The runDisney Princess Half Marathon Weekend is one of the most beloved women's-focused running events in the country. Held annually at Walt Disney World in late winter, the weekend features a 5K, 10K, and half marathon (plus the Glass Slipper Challenge combining the 10K and half). Runners take on the courses dressed as their favorite Disney princesses and finish with medals fit for royalty.
Parkside Retreat is built for the mom-and-daughter groups, running clubs, and multi-generational families that make Princess Weekend so special. Our 6-bedroom home sleeps up to 14 — enough space for the runner, the cheering section, and the little ones tagging along for a Disney vacation. Recover in the private pool between races, prep costumes and race dinners in the full kitchen, and unwind together in the game room. We're just 10 minutes from Walt Disney World, close enough for the 5 AM race starts, with far more space than any resort hotel could offer.

Hotels look cheaper at first - until you factor in multiple rooms, fees (parking, resort fee, etc), and limited space. Our home offers room to relax, amenities you'll actually use, and a better overall value.
