Our Mission
We are a community bound by a profound purpose: to make a significant, lasting impact on the neurodiverse community. Our dedication transcends personal achievements, focusing on creating opportunities and support in sport and recreation, education, and career development for those with neurodiversity.
In sports, we strive to make the excitement of participation and the camaraderie of community sports accessible to everyone, including neurodiverse individuals. Through inclusive events, we aim to provide a nurturing environment where everyone can thrive, celebrating the joy and social, and physical well-being that comes from engagement in sports.
Education is pivotal in our mission, as we work to unlock the potential within the neurodiverse community. We support educational initiatives that cater to diverse learning styles, fund programs that equip educators to meet these unique needs and develop learning materials that are both accessible and engaging.
Career development is also a cornerstone of our efforts. We advocate for pathways to meaningful employment for neurodiverse individuals, partnering with organizations to promote a diverse workforce that values the unique perspectives and talents of every individual.
Every step we take, every race we run, is a step towards a more inclusive future. We are not just participants in a race; we are advocates for change, working towards a world where opportunities in sport, education, and career are accessible and equitable for all. Join us in this journey, and let’s make every step count towards a brighter, more inclusive future.

During the 2025 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend presented by CORKCICLE®, come be part of a runDisney® journey that finds our beloved princesses going up against the wonderfully wicked villains of their stories and realize your own potential along the way.
On February 20–24, 2025, join us for this fairy-tale weekend at Walt Disney World® Resort where you can rise up during the Disney Princess 5K. Fly high at the Disney Princess 10K. Slay the Disney Princess Half Marathon. Or run the fairest of them all by taking on the Disney Fairytale Challenge. Adding even more enchantment are the treasured finisher’s medals you’ll earn for each race—you can even earn three if you complete the challenge (comprised of the 10K and Half Marathon)! And don’t miss the chance to enjoy some Disney Princess Yoga to wrap up your royal weekend.
As we gear up for a weekend of unforgettable memories and personal achievements, we also seize the chance to impact lives positively. Every mile run is a step towards supporting a meaningful cause, making each race distance not only a challenge to conquer but also an opportunity to contribute to something greater. Below are the details on the fundraising commitments associated with each race distance:
- Disney Princess 5K: $200 fundraising commitment
- Disney Enchanted 10K: $250 fundraising commitment
- Disney Princess Half Marathon: $300 fundraising commitment
- Disney Fairy Tale Challenge (10K & Half Marathon): $650 fundraising commitment
It’s important to note that these fundraising totals are separate from and do not include the cost of race registration. These contributions are more than just numbers; they’re a reflection of our collective effort to support and uplift those in need through our passion for running and community spirit. Let’s lace up our sneakers, set our fundraising goals, and embark on this journey together, where every step forward is a step toward making a difference. Get ready to run, fundraise, and experience the magic of runDisney®, all while contributing to a cause that transforms lives.
For each race, participants will cover the cost of registration plus a tax-deductible donation per race. Your initial donation not only marks the start of your fundraising journey but also directly contributes to your individual fundraising total. Here’s what you need to know:
- Disney Princess 5K: $112 for registration + $50 donation
- Disney Enchanted 10K: $155 for registration + $50 donation
- Disney Princess Half Marathon: $240 for registration + $50 donation
- Disney Fairy Tale Challenge: $400 for registration + $100 donation
This approach guarantees that every dollar donated by your supporters is aimed at enriching lives, aligning with our collective goal of making a significant impact. By investing in your registration and initial donation, you’re laying the groundwork for a fundraising campaign where every contribution directly advances our mission. Please note, while race fees secure your participation, only the initial donation is counted towards your fundraising achievements.
