Marathon Weekend 2026

Slightly off topic- I'm trying to figure out grocery delivery. I haven't done it in a few years when I used Garden Grocer. What is your favorite delivery service that you've used recently? I saw Dizzy Dolphin got some good reviews?

We used insta cart for a big group order, it worked great even though my group over estimated the amount of bananas they would eat haha

Someone thought we should move our training to Disney this week:


I don’t recommend eating a big buffet the day before a race. This was us last night after Biergarten:

how long will you be in town? I'm doing my big long run at the resorts on Saturday.

I believe the marathon used to go by the McDonalds nearby so some folks would go in for McFlurries but not sure how far off the course that is now.

There used to be a DIS member, McFlurrieJohn (?) on previous Marathon Weekend threads who would do that every year. Sounds fun but I would instantly regret that choice!

Unrelated, did anyone get into Chicago? Sixth year in a row (or seventh, not sure) that I did not get selected in the lottery. Thinking I might go the fundraiser route. I really want to run Chicago and I thought this was going to be the year. Of course I thought that last year also…. Hope some of you out there had more luck!

We use Walmart or instacart (for Costco pre-made stuff.)

A few did! There's a discussion over on the Running Thread. I'm in with a charity, so I knew in October, but a few others got in via lottery.

I've been pretty happy with Amazon Prime Now for grocery delivery.

We usually have a car, so I place a pickup order at Publix via instacart and we swing by on our way to our room. I usually set the pickup for 3-4pm and even if we get our room a bit later, they'll hold it.
