runDisney announced their 12k’s of Christmas a while ago, and I was EXCITED! It is an inaugural race, and I am ALWAYS all about inaugural events, so I signed up for the challenge. If you want to sign up for this event, here is info about the 12ks of Christmas.

runDisney Virtual 12Ks of Christmas Challenge

This first of its kind virtual event provides a perfect opportunity for families and friends to get into the spirit of the season with a little Disney holiday magic—wherever you enjoy running! Plus, each commemorative medal doubles as a Christmas ornament, making them perfect for decking the halls! The only thing sweeter than a chorus of Christmas carolers this time of year will be the sound of cheers as you cross the finish line!

Completion Timeframe: December 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023

General Registration opens July 25, 2023 at 10:00 AM ET.$267

runDisney Virtual 12Ks of Christmas Highlights:

• Three 4K Virtual Races on Courses of Your Choosing
• Participant Long-Sleeved Hooded Shirt
• Holiday CORKCICLE™ Mug and Hot Cocoa Kit
• 4 Commemorative Finisher Medals That Double as Christmas Ornaments 
• Digital Race Bib and Finisher Certificates
• Digital Race Tool Kit featuring Printable Mile Markers

Aside from the medal, I am most excited about the CORKCICLE mug and hot cocoa kit. I am also happy to see a long-sleeved hooded runDisney shirt. I have one, but it was for the official merchandise, not the race shirt, if that makes sense. Either way, I am excited about the event and can’t wait for all the goodies. Are you signing up?
