Springtime Surprise April 2026
Hey everyone! Wanted to start a thread for Springtime Surprise 2026! I’ll be flying down tomorrow morning (4/14) to do the 5K with my dad
Best of luck to everyone running! The 10 miler last year was my very first runDisney event
Home Resorts: Polynesian, Saratoga Springs, ??Lakeshore Lodge??
My first runDisney was one of the 10 milers too. It was the Toy Story one which I think was 2-3 years ago.
We’ll be there Saturday for my Winnie the Pooh medal!

My husband and I are flying down today for them! I am doing the 5k and he is doing the challenge so I’ll be at the finish line cheering him on for the 10k and 10 miler!
My wife & I try and do one RunDisney event each year. This year we will both be doing the challenge. We will be flying down from Indy on Thursday. Can't wait for some warm weather and pool time at the poly. We will be drinking margaritas in Mexico Sunday after the race if anyone is interested.
I was supposed to do the 5k, but I'll be cheering everyone on instead. I'll still pop around the expo to get my bib and shirt anyway. Good luck to everyone running, and have the best time!
Happy to call the BoardWalk, Bay Lake Tower, and Grand Floridian home!

I’ll be there! Doing the challenge this time. If you see a guy dressed up as the magic carpet for the 10 miler - it’s me!
Good races to all the runners and spectators! Stay cool - looks to be a hot one!
Good luck everyone and stay hydrated! I'm trying to decide if I should shoot for Princess '27 or springtime '27! Wish we knew the springtime themes before princess registration!

I liked the Princess Half because of the cooler weather, but yes, it's hard to decide without knowing the themes.

Great race weather today, let’s keep it up!!!
Running is better with friends! Springtime 10K Complete!
Best of luck to anyone continuing in and doing the 10-Miler tomorrow. Our runDisney races are finished until DOPEY!
Good luck to everyone running the 10 miler tomorrow! That was our first RunDisney race and holds a special place in my heart. Don’t forgot the to use the real bathrooms before you go through security at Epcot! 🤣

SupporterSupporterDH and I were just there for the Challenge and we earned our Coast to Coast! It was our first time at the Springtime Surprise, but we have done all the other race weekends over the years (except Star Wars...RIP). I wish we ran into Paul and Amy, not literally of course, that would not have been great on the course.
DH did think he saw Jeff H. when we were waiting for Amazing Planet, but sadly it was not Jeff.
We are registered for the 10k and Half marathon during marathon weekend. Who knows, we may do the Springtime Surprise next year, this was a blast!
