The race weekend begins April 18 and features a 5K, 10K, 10-miler and the challenge (which includes all the races).

“From daring pirate escapes and uplifting expedition through the wilderness to wild savannah treks, the exciting race weekend will take runners on magical journeys through Walt Disney World Resort,” leaders said on the runDisney blog.

Back in June, runDisney announced that Stich would be the theme for the challenge race. The other races include characters like Russel, Dug and Carl from the Disney-Pixar film “Up,” Tinker Bell and Peter Pan, and Simba. The event will also include a runDisney Springtime Surprise Splash at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon.
