Marathon Weekend 2026

[camaker]

If anyone who wasn't at SS this weekend was interested in the new Brooks RunDisney shoes, they're up for sale on Brooks' website as of this morning.

SAFF: Got in for Dopey during club registration and so excited!
Goals: TBD lol

SAFD: Managed to register myself for Dopey and my son for the 5k.

Goals: As always, have fun and feel good enough that I can enjoy the parks with my family. My friend is also running her first Dopey, so I'll have someone to run every race with, which will be different. Depending on how training goes, I might try to run one of the races for time instead of just fun.

Looks like a lot of the popular sizes are gone. While I don't like running in Brooks, I wouldn't mind having a pair of the Mickey Ghost Max 2's to wear around the park.

That's not a bad idea - though I'll wait to see what's available at W&D (I'll be there that weekend even if I'm not running so could make it over to the expo) or MW.

SAFD: Another person who went through Scott Carter Foundation and registered for Dopey. I think it was their last Dopey bib because their website updated shortly after that they were all out. Whew. Also, just waiting on the registration link now for SCF.

The main goal this year is to come back employed, LOL. There were three of us from the same department that went out to MW this past year, right in the middle of our year end financial close. This didn't go well with some of the managers (my manager had always known I go) and this sparked some talks in the office about if they were going to let everyone go again. I already told my wife that if they say something about not being able to go, I may be applying for a job at Disney Parks while we are there because I am going regardless.

In all seriousness, I think this year for Dopey may be a year where I don't really care about time. Just finish in a decent time to get to the parks! This may change once I really start full on training and how that goes. But either way, as always, the goal is to have fun and enjoy the moment. Also, to meet some more people at the morning meet ups. I had a great time this year putting faces to screen names this year.

Sorry if this was already posted…the Dopey pullover is back available for preorder!

 

[Herding_Cats]

They also restocked all sizes for the Goofy hoodie, and both the men's and women's jackets. Basically, they re-stocked all of it.

SAFD: Wanted (?) Dopey and got Dopey. My goal is to finally feel satisfied with the experience at the end so I don't have to do it again

I'm so torn because I really want one but can't decide between 2 sizes and would prefer to wait until I can try it on. I'm worried it will sell out during Platinum though.

 

[JediKnightXan]

Thank you for posting about the restocks! Got the mens jacket, likely not flying in until Wednesday so I figured I wasn't going to have a chance

For a pullover, I always go bigger over smaller. Especially since they've had some really weird sizing over the years with hoodies. I'd much rather have something a bit too big than a bit too small, especially something I'll wear in cold weather and possibly layer over something else.

I swear if this board isn't the MOST enabling place on the internet. I don't even NEED a marathon jacket (or do I?) and I don't even NEED a new pair of Minnie Ghost Max shoes (I don't even wear Brooks!) but here I go.....

SAFD (on a Monday, too): I totally got what I came for--signed up DH and I for the full only. I'll be questioning life choices later, I am sure. My goals are still TBD--with any of the following options:

1) race hard with no pics, which ideally would include a marathon PR
2) race sorta hard with a few pics (castle!), which ideally would still include a PR
3) cozy+ pace (little slower than my tempo) with more pics
4) cozy pace with all the pics and maybe some snacks

We will see how the days unfold. I am nothing if not flexible.

That was literally all the enabling I needed to order! hahaha

I want this but I have a question on sizing. I bought a medium in the Aurora hoodie (see avatar) for the Princess Half this year and it fits pretty much perfect. Should I expect the same sizing for this pullover?

You should probably just block me, because my handle doesn't refer to my Disney knowledge, but my level of enabling.

It's hard to know. Two factors are in play, imho.

One, Disney tends to switch up styles and cuts of the same item from race weekend to race weekend, so it's really difficult to know if this will even be close to the same as anything you've previously purchased.

And two, will Disney will be moving more of their merch to Brooks? At SS only the race shirts were Brooks, but if they move other clothing items to Brooks as well, things will likely be a bit smaller.

So how many times have I done a pre-order? Twice, counting just now. Enablers! (that is what I will tell my wife). But what is actually funny, the reason I know it is twice is that before this order I did not remember ever doing a preorder of anything. Guess what it looks like I have products in my Your Products file for the 2020 marathon that I bought in April of 2019. Sadly, I never picked up my weekend 2020 and Dopey decals…I truly scare myself at times!

Maybe this is better for the overall running thread but how do yall deal with DNS out of your control. For those of you not in the Springtime Challenge thread. I was forced to DNS the 10 miler and the Challenge by extension when a piece of my Handcycle broke within less than two hours before the start has sent me into a mental funk in a way that I’m not used to mainly because I’ve never really been forced to DNS like this. Every DNS has been one I made well in advance of the race and it’s thrown me into a full on funk.

Any advice on how to deal with this? Not even DNFing has ever felt like this

SAFD: I signed up for the 10k and DH for the marathon - he is a serious runner whereas I try and avoid anything faster than a walk!

My goal is to get some level of fitness back over the next 9 months. I have had next to zero iron levels for a while and have really been struggling to do much. So this is the motivation I need and I am determined to RUN the 10k!

Same for me - except it's the Goofy hoodie I want - I think I'm just going to take my chances. I like my hoodies a little larger but I've tried some on in the past that are ridiculously large. So.... no preorder for me.
