Taking your Star Wars race journey to the next level? Those mastering the runDisney Kessel Run Challenge can fulfill their running destiny when they finish both the Star Wars Rival Run Half Marathon at Walt Disney World Resort and the Star Wars Virtual Half Marathon. This year’s Virtual Half Marathon theme will be featuring one of our favorite droids, R2-D2!

“Do what must be done” and choose which side of the Force you will run for! Participants of the 5K, 10K, Half Marathon and Challenge who register by January 15, 2019, will have the opportunity to choose their side, which will be revealed through the design of their race bib during the event weekend! For those who register after that date, the Force will choose your fate.
