The 2015 runs are scheduled and some are already closed. Go the the runDisney website for a list of runs as well as the sign-up dates. The Tinkerbell 1/2 Marathon is in May 2015 and sign-ups are next week for this DLR run.

Just wanted to add that the DLR races have been selling out within hours of registration opening to the general public. If you're thinking of a race at DLR, be prepared to get on line and register as soon as it opens.

Next years for those haven't been announced yet. I thought I registered for Everest 2014 in December 2013.

Run Disney is very hot right now and races are selling out very fast, some within hours. Just sign up for the email reminders and you'll get notified when races go on sale.

Thank you, didn't see the e-mail sign up before. Great idea!!!

They aren't going to announce the dates of races for next year until about 6 months after they have happened this year. ToT 10-miler is in October and usually falls on the same weekend so you can look at the dates for this years and guess when they will be for next year. These races do fill up very quickly though, they all do. Wine and Dine filled up in about 1 1/2-2 days this year and that race is typically easy to get into. I ran Princess in 2013 and was able to sign up well after it opened, but this year if you didn't sign up the day it opened you were out of luck. You can go to the WISHES board on here and there are all kinds of threads about the rundisney races. There is a lot of useful information on there. I'm not sure that Everest is coming back for next year, there are rumors that it won't be but no one knows for sure. You can also follow runDisney on facebook if you have a facebook page and you will get all the updates from them.

Don't wait for rundisney notification emails.

Pay attention to the Events/Competition forum on the WISH board here, and get on rundisney's Facebook page.

They haven't announced Everest, and they aren't going to announce TOT until well after THIS year's TOT happens. When you go to rundisney.com and click on Events, it will show you all the events. You can see what they have announced in the future by looking at the dates.

rundisney events are expensive, they sell out fast, and you pretty much have to be right there at the computer ready to go when they go for sale! (usually noon eastern time, 9 pacific, etc)

I can tell you ToT registration will open in February,Wine and Dine half marathon in March and 2016 Marathon weekend in April.If you want you can still get in for the Goofy Challenge this January as its the only race still available for 2015.Some races sell out almost immediately like most of the shorter races for marathon weekend as well as the Dopey challenge,Wine and Dine sells out within hours,ToT actually lasts a couple of weeks.There's been rumors of Everest being removed for another race but I think it'll be back in 2015,I've never done Everest but I think it also goes quick.

I follow runDisney on FaceBook and Twitter and get all the advance notice I need -- not only for regular registration but for early registration options (e.g. AP, DVC).

I, personally, find less and less need over time for any of the unofficial boards/sites as Disney is finally on top of notifying guests THEMSELVES on the most important dates/deadlines in a timely manner.

In the Booklet given out in the PHM packet, the dates for the 2015 Marathon, 2015 PHM, and 2015 Tinkerbell 1/2 were listed... advance notice by over a year for the Tink.

I'll echo what PPers have said. Races are announced ~6 months in advance. I have done ExE 2x and it was first Saturday in May each time.
