runDisney runners, we finally know what will be waiting for you at the finish line this fall!
Disney has officially revealed the finisher medals for the 2026 Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend, and this year’s lineup is taking runners on a culinary trip around the world with characters from The Aristocats, The Three Caballeros, Mary Poppins, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
The race weekend takes place at Walt Disney World from October 23rd through October 25th, 2026, with four different medals up for grabs across the 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and Disney Two Course Challenge.
And yes — all four events are already sold out.
Disney Wine & Dine 5K — The Aristocats
First up, we’re going to Paris!
The 2026 Disney Wine & Dine 5K medal stars Marie, Berlioz, and Toulouse from The Aristocats.
The three kittens appear in front of a Parisian backdrop complete with the Eiffel Tower, while a pair of colorful macarons at the bottom ties the medal into the culinary theme of Wine & Dine Weekend.
Even the ribbon gets in on the fun, featuring a tiny illustration of Marie running alongside the 5K distance marking. The 5K takes place on Friday, October 23rd, kicking off the weekend with 3.1 miles. And I have a feeling the Marie fans are going to LOVE this one.
Disney Wine & Dine 10K — The Three Caballeros
The next morning, we’re trading Paris for a fiesta.
Donald Duck, José Carioca, and Panchito take center stage on the 2026 Disney Wine & Dine 10K medal.
The Three Caballeros appear together on a flower-shaped medal finished in purple and gold, creating a colorful design that feels perfectly appropriate for the trio.
The 10K takes place on Saturday, October 24th, sending runners out for 6.2 miles around Walt Disney World. And anyone participating in the Two Course Challenge will need to save some energy afterward, because they’ve got another race waiting for them the following morning.
Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon — Mary Poppins
For the main event, we’re off to London!
The 13.1-mile Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon medal is inspired by Mary Poppins, but Disney went with a character choice we weren’t necessarily expecting:
The penguin waiters! Three of the animated penguins appear on the medal wearing their bow ties, with a London skyline and clock tower creating the backdrop.
Above them is a small umbrella-shaped runDisney topper, while the front of the medal displays both “13.1 MILES” and 2026. But make sure you flip this one over.
The reverse features a silhouette of Mary Poppins floating above the rooftops of London, giving the medal another little surprise after runners cross the finish line.
The Half Marathon takes place on Sunday, October 25th, wrapping up the racing portion of the weekend.
Disney Two Course Challenge — Grumpy & Snow White
And then there’s the big one.
Runners participating in the Disney Two Course Challenge will complete both Saturday’s 10K and Sunday’s Half Marathon for a combined 19.3 miles.
And they’ll earn a pretty elaborate medal for doing it. The 2026 Two Course Challenge medal features Grumpy walking alongside a German-style clock and pretzels. But this medal opens!
A hinge allows runners to open the medal and reveal additional artwork inside. One side features the silhouette of Snow White standing in front of a collection of buildings while red gems fall around her.
The opposite side features Grumpy along with the word “FINISHER” and the complete 19.3-mile distance runners conquered over the two races.
Between the hinged design and all of those little details, this one may be the standout of the entire collection.
2026 Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend Dates
Here’s the complete race schedule:
- Disney Wine & Dine 5K: October 23rd, 2026
- Disney Wine & Dine 10K: October 24th, 2026

At the time of Disney’s medal reveal, all four events are sold out.
Don’t Forget the Post-Race Party!
The running may end Sunday morning, but Wine & Dine Weekend isn’t quite finished. EPCOT will host the Post-Race Party on October 25th.
Entry to the party is included for runners registered for either the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon or Disney Two Course Challenge. Friends and family members can also purchase tickets separately to join the celebration.
After 13.1 (or 19.3) miles, I’d say wandering EPCOT and celebrating with some Food & Wine Festival snacks sounds pretty well deserved.
