From runDisney:

ADVISORY

With circumstances continuing to change rapidly around the globe, we are making critical and timely decisions based on guidance from local, national and international health agencies. As we have shared before, we are basing our decisions on the safety and well-being of our Cast Members and our Guests, since there is nothing more important than that.

In an abundance of caution, the 2020 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend will be cancelled. In addition, because our runDisney races require the presence of local medical professionals and first responders to monitor and treat runners, this will free up those resources for more critical needs during this time.

All participants for the Star Wars Rival Run Weekend at Walt Disney World Resort who purchased their registrations on runDisney.com will receive a refund for their race registration.

Star Wars Rival Run Weekend:
Runners registered for the 2020 Star Wars Rival Run Weekend at Walt Disney World Resort will receive a refund back to their original form of payment for the following:

• Race registration (Half Marathon, 10k, 5k, Rival Run Challenge)
• Commemorative merchandise
• ChEAR Squad
• Processing fee

Guests who’ve already received a partial refund will receive their remaining balance to a Disney gift card.

runDisney Kessel Run Challenge:
Runners registered for the runDisney Kessel Run Challenge with an international address or APO address will receive a full refund back to their original form of payment, and they will not receive a race medal for the Star Wars Virtual Half Marathon or the runDisney Kessel Run Challenge.

Runners registered for the runDisney Kessel Run Challenge with a U.S. address will receive their Star Wars Virtual Half Marathon medal in the mail. The registration fee for the Star Wars Rival Run Half Marathon or Star Wars Rival Run Challenge will be refunded back to their original form of payment, minus the cost of the Star Wars Virtual Half Marathon ($59), and they will not receive a race medal for the runDisney Kessel Run Challenge.

Refund Timing:
Refunds from runDisney can be expected to be processed in four to six weeks. If you haven’t received your refund after six weeks, please visit the “contact us” section on runDisney.com.

Alternate booking methods:
Runners who’ve booked through a charity or tour operator should reach out directly to that organization. Runners who’ve booked through the Walt Disney Travel Company may call them at 407-939-4786 (407-939-IRUN) for available refund options.

On-sale dates:
On-sale dates for future runDisney races will be adjusted, and we will have more information to share soon.

Make-A-Wish donations:
Donations made to Make A Wish of Central and Northern Florida will be delivered to that organization as originally planned.

Additional questions:
If you have additional questions regarding this cancellation, please visit the "contact us" section on runDisney.com.
