Marathon Weekend 2026

[MissLiss279]

They did actually drop a sneaky hint of what it *might* be, but we won't know for sure until race week most likely. They posted a merch reveal vid on social media and for some peculiar reason, at one point they open a cabinet to show the Stitch sneaker, right behind it you could catch a glimpse of a Chip n Dale plush. Does it mean anything? Who knows!

W&D shoes were posted on the day before the usual race shirt reveal, expecting the same this time. So... Monday for shoes, Tuesday for shirts?

I have seen the speculation that it could be Chip n Dale related, but I’m not sure what that would look like on a shoe. Brown? I did find a brown brooks shoe, so maybe??? It just doesn’t seem as exciting to me, but maybe it would appeal to others.

Was thinking yellow and red.

Do you have pull it out and put it in the bin?

They have not, but this *may* depend on what sort of xray technology your airport has.

This have *have* gotten my carry-on flagged include a bag of liquid IV (it was seriously the zip bag it comes in), medals, and a wine key/bottle opener (whoops!)

I have a pair of tan/brown glycerines. I hope they don't just do a brown shoe and call it Chip and Dale.

Man the anxiety certainly seems to be kicking in. I'm driving from Georgia but find myself watching the national weather and already worrying about those flying in next week!

I've been busy and don't watch much national news. Why are you worrying? We fly out on Sunday.

Thinking of bringing my massage gun with me. Anyone have any issues packing these on their carry-ons?

I have traveled with a regular size one without issues, but they have stupid heavy and actually have to be in your carry-on due to the lithium battery in it. On one of the Prime Days a couple of years ago, I bought a crazy cheap mini that works just as well and is about a quarter of the size/weight.

Our airport has the upgraded technology (I'm not sure what committee our Congressman is on, but we always get the new toys first) and have had my bag flagged for more random stuff than ever. Twice it was for freezing applesauce packets to use as ice packs (yes, they had just come out of the freezer and they were solid), some baked goods, and - here's my favorite - a brass bell that I was taking to someone as a gift. The bell was the craziest thing because they knew exactly what they were looking for (the inspector told me) and it was clear as day on the screen that it was a bell. Why they flagged it was beyond me.

Costco car rental dropped again today! Now paying $80 less than the lowest I thought it would go.

Check your rates yall!

My brother works for TSA and confirmed that it's fine.

I've also carried one on. No problems.

Sorry to ask a similar question to one I've posted before. I'm still stuck on photos for this weekend.

If I buy Memory Maker, will I be able to link to a bunch of runner's bibs? Is there a different photo package worth considering? I can't get over the price, but we have a bunch of people running and I've decided not to get an annual pass with the photo add on (the math doesn't work for me no matter how hard I squint).

I'll message you about this, but the short answer is yes.

My fellow DISers, may I present the one... the only... the Awesome Amazing DISboard Marathon Weekend doc!!!

HUGE thanks to @Herding_Cats for compiling all the updates and to everyone who submitted their info to be included in the runner timing charts. I also have a PDF of the full runner excel sheet here if anyone needs it for further zooming in. (It's in my OneDrive, so it may prompt you to log in but you don't have to in order to view it.)

If you find any mistakes or missing information, please let me know with a tag or DM and we'll get it fixed. If the pacer info shows up before everyone travels, we'll pop it in the placeholder spots. Otherwise, watch this thread or check the Galloway desk at the expo. See you all soon!
