Visiting Disneyland Paris

Can you take part in a run at Disneyland Paris?

A run announced in the parks for 27 September 2026 was to include two routes, including an approximately 4.21 km course for adults. Entries offered by Decathlon were through a prize draw, which has now closed.

Yes, entries were offered through a free Decathlon prize draw for a run announced in the Disney parks on 27 September 2026, before they opened to the public. Whether the run took place remains unconfirmed. The prize draw is now closed; Decathlon said the 300 winners would be contacted by email no later than early September.

Two routes, early in the morning

Decathlon’s rules provided for two starts: at 6:50 a.m. for the children’s route of approximately 375 metres, open to minors aged at least 6, then at 7:10 a.m. for the adult route of approximately 4.21 km. The event was planned for the parks, which were reserved for the occasion before opening to the public.

Taking part in the run was therefore not presented as an open registration available to everyone. Decathlon ran a no-purchase-necessary prize draw from 3 to 25 August 2026. Its website now says entries are closed. The draw was open to adults living in mainland France, excluding Decathlon Group employees. In “Family” mode, a participant could enter up to two minor children aged at least 6 for whom they held parental authority.

Where to follow future announcements?

For this edition, practical information and terms were listed on Decathlon’s dedicated page and in its rules. According to [Disneyphile](https://www.disneyphile.fr/course-disney-adventure-world-27-septembre-2026-decathlon/), each pack included a race bib, a one-day ticket valid on 27 September 2026 for both parks, and a meal voucher. The times for winners to collect their tickets and race bibs were to be shared with them later.

The rules assign Decathlon responsibility for the prize draw and the random selection, while the operation, management and safety of the run fall to the Disney parks operator. For a future event, Disneyland Paris’s official pages and those of its partners are therefore the places to start, without assuming that another run will be offered.
