Disney Run returns to Korea

Disney Run will return to South Korea this fall, bringing together themed race events, pop-up retail stores and live K-pop performances.

Scheduled for Oct. 31 near Incheon's Sangsang Platform under the theme "Together, Joyfully, Disney Run!," the event will feature interactive programs alongside the main races, including special performances, pop-up experiences and themed photo spots.

Run participants can choose between two predefined routes starting at Sangsang Platform and running through the Incheon port area: a 5-kilometer course themed around Winnie the Pooh or a 10-kilometer route themed around Mickey and Friends that extends to Wolmi Park.

The event grounds will also feature a variety of Disney-themed activities and entertainment. Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse will return for Disney Run 2026 after appearing at last year's event, while Donald Duck and Daisy Duck will join them this year for special interactions with participants.

K-pop girl group Illit will also perform live at the event. Various performance teams, including brass bands, cheerleaders and marching bands, will perform along the courses and throughout the event grounds to cheer on participants.

Disney-themed pop-up stores will also be set up at the event, with participating brands including Lilfant and DesignsKin offering more than 40 products across food, lifestyle goods and stationery.

Disney Run 2026 marks the second edition of the official Disney-themed running event in Korea. It is hosted by Sports Seoul and sponsored by Incheon Metropolitan City and the Incheon Tourism Organization.
