runDisney Virtual Running Shorts Series


The runDisney Virtual Running Shorts series is back and this year's theme is centered around Pluto! The Virtual Running Shorts series is a set of three 5K virtual races where you can run, jog, or walk around your neighborhood, on a treadmill at the gym, around Walt Disney World Resorts - wherever you want, whenever you want at your own pace. This year, in honor of Pluto, Disney is encouraging participants to run with their favorite four-legged friend.

There are three individual race windows, each with a different commemorative finisher medal spotlighting elements of Mickey’s No. 1 pup. Run all three of the 5K races within the completion timeframe and you’ll also receive a Virtual Running Shorts Series Finisher Medal.

For the final virtual 5K of the summer, take home a medal inspired by Pluto’s dog house (pictured second from right).

If you run all three 5K distances within the allotted timeframe, you can also earn the Virtual Running Shorts Series Finisher Medal, which combines all of the fun Pluto-themed elements from the individual medals (pictured right). In addition, the celebratory charity is Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando, who are celebrating 80 years of saving pets in Central Florida.

You can register now over at runDisney's website. Each race is $40 or $142 for the series.
