runDisney Marathon Weekend 2024: Course Maps, Event Guide, Corrals and more!
Why do we make this post every year when runDisney shares the info as well? Because, as they say, screenshots last forever.
And runners like to look back on previous courses and corrals and obsess a little.
You know it’s true!
We do this for all the runDisney events; so hang around if you’re looking for the Ultimate Guide to runDisney.
So here we go: our annual guide to running runDisney’s Marathon Weekend.
You’ll find all the information a runner needs to know before the runDisney Marathon Weekend 2024 including course maps, corrals, waivers, and event guide.
This is a living document, so information will be added as it comes out.
Marathon Weekend 2024 Waivers and Runner Tracking
Download your waiver through your runDisney.com account.
The Waivers no longer have bib numbers or corral information.
You’ll go to your runDisney Dashboard to find the documents to sign.
Please note: you can do this digitally this year! You do not need to print and bring it to the Expo if you sign digitally.
The Expo Pass (see below) is what you’ll need to show to pick up your bibs and T-shirts.
Here’s the tracking link so you can follow your runner on the course.
Put their name in the search, choose how you want to be notified, and you’ll know how the run is going if you follow from home.

runDisney Marathon Weekend 2024 Corrals
Bib numbers can be found on the Expo Pass, but at this time there is no Corral chart to reference. We’ll be working on one after the event to reference for next year hopefully.
You can use the 2020 corrals as a guide for this year’s race.
For the 2024 Marathon Weekend races, the Start Groups have returned to lettered corrals again.
If this changes in future races, we’ll let you know.
But as of this race, if you are familiar with how the runDisney corral system worked in the past, then you will know exactly how the system is working now.
Mini-waves are still being used inside each start group and those are not pre-determined or selected. If you want to be in an earlier wave, get to your start group when it opens.
2024 Marathon Weekend Corrals
The 5K and 10K will likely have 3 corrals each.
The Half Marathon and Full Marathon are showing 6 corrals each (A-F).
You’ll learn your corral number when you pick up your bib at the expo.
For more information on how the corrals work, check out the runDisney Corral information post.
Bib Number Corral Breakdown ESTIMATES Based on the 2022 Race
Please Please PLEASE note that this information is an estimate only.
Once upon a runDisney race weekend, we were given handy charts letting us know in advance what corral we’d be placed in. You can check the 2020 Marathon Weekend for an example.
But runDisney has not provided them since the races have returned post-pandemic.
A fellow runner who happens to love stats (math teacher problems!) pulled this information together. Brian Davis can be found sharing his runDisney knowledge in many runDisney Facebook groups (runDisneyrun for example).
He gave us this estimate to share with permission. It may not be 100% accurate, but it gives you a general guideline of things.
From Brian:
You probably won’t know your corral until you pick up your actual bib.
And, what you get you get, it’s not really important at this point anyway. But watching everybody guess without data drives me crazy, so… I dug into the data.
BASED ON THE 2022 MARATHON… this is where the corral breaks were LAST YEAR.
This year may be a bigger or smaller total field… the allocation between full/dopey/goofy could shift… they could change the number of corrals… they could change the size of the corrals.
But, if everybody is going to start the “corral guessing game”, at least here’s the last reliable estimate we have.
Half Marathon Corrals
A: 40000 – 40488
B: 40489 – 42900
C: 42901 – 42562
D: 42563 – 45984
E: 45985 – 47240
F: 47241 – 48500
Full Marathon Corrals
A: 0 – 378
B: 379 – 643
C: 644 – 3053
D: 3053 – 4642
E: 4643 – 6042
F: 6043 – 8000
Goofy Corrals
A: 30000 – 30066
B: 30067 – 30137
C: 30138 – 30451
D: 30452 – 30623
E: 30624 – 30809
F: 30810 – 31000
Dopey Corrals
A: 20000 – 20387
B: 20388 – 20855
C: 20856 – 22866
D: 22867 – 24093
E: 24094 – 25430
F: 25431 – 28000
