Marathon Weekend 2026

[Poohverine]

Incredible work! Thank you both so much for putting this together!

 

[AZMermaid]

Holy cow! This is truly amazing! Thank you so much for all your hard work on this!

64 pages?! You guys have outdone yourselves this year!

Last year was “only” 52 but then we added corral stuff (for the HM and M) and spectator stuff and well….here we are.

 

[The Expert]

How long do you guys hang at HH?

Usually a few hours. Some folks stay the whole time, others drop in and out. It's very casual.

I also can't omit the groundwork laid by @DopeyBadger, who started the tradition of the DIS list. He is really the reason this exists! He got a bit busy a few years back, so a few of us stepped in to help and eventually took the responsibility off his plate. My DH is a massive spreadsheet nerd, so he tore apart the timing excel last year and rebuilt it with new formulas. If you're interested in the nuts-and-bolts of that, he'll be at DATW with me.

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!

Thank you both for putting this together!!

Yay, the spreadsheet is here! That means we are really getting close! Thank you @The Expert and @Herding_Cats for all the hard work!

Tamiflu seems to have kicked whatever plague I had on Sunday. I'm feeling good. Now stressing about the weather.

 

[Baloo in MI]

Thank you so much for keeping this tradition alive @Herding_Cats and @The Expert! Dis List, then Expo Pass, then travel and then run!!!

Happy New Year All!

Wow. This is really, really well done. Very impressive not only for the data, but for all the graphics.
I'm going to have to make a cheat sheet, or just write on my forearm, of who to look for and where they are spectating.
And back to DATW FOMO. Crud. But I have a doctor appt on Tue morning and need to be there. Just dang.

 

[Disney at Heart]

Thanks to @Herding_Cats and @The Expert. Y'all are amazing! And I will say that in person soon! Arriving Tuesday. Can't wait!

@Mr. Inccredible Can you reschedule?

I'm going to try to remember to repost the spectator list/map pages for each race here the night before. If anyone wants something specific from me during the marathon at TTC or Epcot, feel free to tag or DM me (if you haven't already).

An option would be to take a screenshot of it with your phone, and if you don't want to deal with the hassle of opening it and going into your photos, put it on your lockscreen for the day.

IF. Big if currently. If I start the marathon I might ask you to hand some fuel off for me since I'm having a pocket situation because of this weather forecast.

 

[WDW 4 ME]

It’s packing day!!!

 

[GuinnessRunner]

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

I swear I saw another artic front going through but looking agai now I must have made it up

 

[GuinnessRunner]

Great work @The Expert and @Herding_Cats! Really appreciate you both taking this on again this year and doing this for all of us.

if the forecast stays as warm as it looks, a cold beverage might be very handy.

Well, yeah, I guess that could work too.....

As for the doctor's appt, I've been waiting for a month. I'll see if they have had a slot open up for later in the week. It's about glaucoma so I'm already nervous enough and wanting to get some answers. My hope is that it is just the fluid not draining on that one eye. The initial questions: Do you have a history of high blood pressure? (No). Do you exercise? Oh, let me talk about that for a bit....

DH also has had a little high pressure in his eyes for several years. Never been enough to cause glaucoma, but keeps it checked every 6 months since he had an aunt who had glaucoma. Also no history of high blood pressure and lots of exercise, especially since 1994 Hope your diagnosis is as good, or even better if the pressure has subsided.
That said be sure you tell the office how important it is to reschedule for DATW!
