2026 runDisney® Springtime Surprise Weekend

Celebrate Friendship, Fun, and Finish Lines with Autism Speaks TeamUp!

The 2026 runDisney® Springtime Surprise Weekend is more than just a race - it's a celebration of connection, joy, and the friendships that carry us through every mile. This unforgettable weekend invites runners of all levels to come together and experience the magic of movement, motivation, and shared memories.

This year's race themes shine a spotlight on iconic Disney duos, turning every event into a tribute to the power of teamwork and togetherness. Even better - your participation supports the mission of Autism Speaks - creating a world where all people with autism can reach their full potential - recognized, supported, and empowered across every stage of life. So, grab your running buddy, dress the part, and get ready to make memories that go beyond the race. Because when you run with friends, every mile means more.

When securing your entry by registering on the Autism Speaks TeamUp website, there will be a $75 registration fee that will be applied to your full fundraising commitment. We encourage our participants to have a goal of exceeding that fundraising minimum as the funds you raise go towards supporting our critical mission.

To help ensure that each member of our team is on track to meet and exceed their fundraising goals there will be fundraising benchmarks that participants are expected to meet to be eligible for team benefits. Participants must reach 50% of the fundraising commitment by January 19^th, 2026, and the full fundraising commitment by March 25^th, 2026.

If you ALREADY HAVE AN ENTRY to any race during 2026 runDisney® Springtime Surprise Weekend you can still join Autism Speaks TeamUp. Since you have your own entry, you will NOT be held to the fundraising minimum like those who need an entry from our inventory are. Participants will need to meet fundraising benchmarks to receive team benefits.
