Not long ago we learned that the dates for this weekend are January 4th to 8th, 2023, and now the official theme for the race has been announced! The DFB team has already been making plans to join the race because of the theme, and even some of us who aren’t runners want to join! We can’t resist a chance to travel back to the 1990s. ?
The theme for the runDisney 2023 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend is Retro ’90s! Why? runDisney turns 30 in 2023, and it’s time to celebrate its birth year! We’re talking 1980s/1990s patterns (triangles and wiggly lines, anyone?) and bright colors. The 2023 Marathon Weekend is presented by State Farm.
