More and more runDisney events are being added and there is good reason for that. Everyone has a lot of fun during these events and they usually sell out.
According to Disney Parks Blog, the newest runDisney event is a Star Wars Half Marathon and it will happen at Disney World from April 14-17, 2016. There will be a 5K, 10K, kids’ races, and half marathon. Not only that, but they will have a special challenge. The Star Wars Dark Side Challenge includes completing the 10k and the half marathon.
Will you join the Dark Side in the inaugural @runDisney #StarWarsHalf at @WaltDisneyWorld? http://t.co/CnktRDhyCS pic.twitter.com/LhnoXZ2DPU

This same half marathon debuted at Disneyland this past January and it quickly became clear to Disney that guests wanted the same experience at Disney World. However, there is a slight difference between the two races. While Disney World will have the Dark Side Challenge, Disneyland has the Light Side of the Force with its Star Wars Rebel Challenge.
Registration for the Disney World event will open on September 22, 2015 at noon (ET)
