Indoor bike & treadmill specialist Echelon Fitness has become runDisney’s newest sponsor, offering its connected equipment to the race series starting in 2024.

Echelon has signed a multi-year deal aimed at helping runDisney runners elevate their fitness and wellness journeys at all races at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and Disneyland Resort in California.

Through this new relationship, Echelon will feature its connected fitness equipment on-site at runDisney races and will have a presence at runDisney yoga events, plus offer interactive demonstrations at runDisney race expos.

“Our runDisney series combines the magic of Disney with the exhilaration of running, making it a one-of-a-kind experience for our participants,” said runDisney Vice President Adam Ball.

“By teaming up with Echelon, we will be able to bring even more convenient and enjoyable fitness options to our runDisney community and fans.”

Echelon Fitness CEO Lou Lentine said “Echelon is committed to helping our members reach and cross their finish line – so what better way to do this than working with runDisney.

“Through this new collaboration, we are excited about joining with our members and runDisney runners on their fitness journeys – from pre-training to post workouts and even using our connected fitness equipment for runDisney virtual races from the comfort of their own homes. We can’t wait to watch them cross these finish lines.”

The runDisney race series is one of the largest race organizations in the United States with more than 170,000 runners participating in runDisney events each race season, plus virtual races.

There are four race weekends at Walt Disney World Resort and two at Disneyland Resort. Each race weekend features a 5K, 10K, 10-mile or half marathon, and a health and fitness expo, plus yoga at select race weekends. The Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend also offers a full 26.2-mile marathon.
