Marathon Weekend 2026

[smileyanna]

SAFD: I haven’t worn costumes but trying to dip my toe this year for the half.

I’m running with a group of friends and my husband, and we have fundraised thousands for the muscular dystrophy association. Our friends have a son with muscular dystrophy and his favorite Disney show is Lilo and Stitch. We all got different lilo and stitch Mickey ear themed visors. I just can’t imagine my husband wearing one of these but I hope we all do it.

I did a long training run with my visor, and I can’t say it’s my favorite feeling. It was heavy! I don’t know how y’all put up with elaborate costumes for the long runs. (Please don’t stop though! It’s part of what makes these races so special!!)

Since I'll be driving, I just back the car up near the front door of the house and load all my running shoes and clothes.
Race shoes, walking around shoes, resort shoes, plus extra shoes just in case.
Race costume or clothes, clothes for in the park, clothes around the resort: both cold weather and hot weather in each category. Plus extra clothes if it rains, plus the throwaway stuff for the corals.
It's like Monica's towels on Friends. IYKYK.....
Plus my toiletries, meds, hats and other sun protection, tablet, phone, charging cords, etc....
I can be by myself and still wind up with several trips from the car to the room in the resort.
After typing all that, I realize that I need to start packing soon.

This is what I do for local races as well. After having done only runDisney races for a number of years, there is a sense of freedom to being able to think "I might need that" and being able to throw it in the car without a second thought.
