Marathon Weekend 2026

[DisneyMountainWoman]

Love reading you guys posts, makes me feel like I am there but I am having some fomo... but I can only do rundisney a year school year.
But man that separate line for waiting for dopey merch sounds horrible... glad they did not do that for us last year and I also glad they did not do that for wine and dine earlier this year... like the only thing I can hope they can keep resalers from overbuying everything... but sounds like they already ran out of merch... soo does not seem like it helped.

Very weird question alert for those that went to Expo today...is there a Joffrey's at Wide World of Sports? Joffrey's website says Yes but can't seem to find any proof of that on Disney's website. Thanks in advance.

There used to be - right here (I wasn't there today so not sure if it changed with the food vendors):

It's still there! Just a little round building between bib pickup and the main expo. I bought a coffee there this morning.

In other news, here's the race info sheet from my room at BWV:

I’m standing here looking at it as I type this. It’s right where @marty3d shows it in the map.

Will you be there for awhile? I’m on my way now.

Wish I knew they’d take size exchanges for the pre-orders. The size dopey fleece I got is swimming on me. Oh well better than too small I guess

I asked in the preorder line for a small instead of medium and she said they didn’t have any. Mine is big but not gigantic. I’d still prefer a small though.

Unfortunately, no. I’m sorry! Back on the bus already. I’ve got to find some dinner and get to bed early. That 3am room change is hitting me hard and the 5k isn’t going to wait. Sorry to miss you.

No worries. See ya tomorrow!

Now, I know that RunDisney participants, as a whole, have a good deal of disposable income and a demonstrable tendency towards poor judgment. That being said, using the Expo to showcase a $230,000 sports car seems… optimistic.

Merch is now open with no VQ

I don’t know how this happened, but I got in A for the 5k??? I swear I didn’t lie!

That’s what happened to us for spring time. We were like OK let’s bask in the imposter syndrome.

Looking forward to joining everyone tomorrow. For those there late in the day, is there a high likelihood of me getting a pair of the Adrenaline Brooks tomorrow around 5pm? I may risk it and pack one less pair and use the new ones for walking around.

 

[marty3d]

Finished my last speed run of this training cycle. After running all my runs in the last week on snow covered trails (trying to avoid the flu) I am really looking forward to running on dry pavement!

Good luck to all of you running the 5k tomorrow! Look forward to seeing some of you at Mini-Golf or HH Friday!

Now to start packing....

They’ll probably have them at the expo. If not, there’s also fit2run’s shop in DS

Oh good. In Uber to hotel right now, and was thinking based on all the posts and lack of available VQ spots it might be better to not go to the expo tonight. I think I'll head over as soon as I drop off my luggage then.

Same for me at the SS 5K. Enjoy it!

Absolutely. Brooks has always done a great job stocking appropriately, and the shoe area was not crazy today. If they sell out of any, I think it'll be the Chip & Dale.

You'd be surprised based on some of the conversations I've had with people around Disney. Plus they probably only need to sell 1 to more than recoup the expo fee.

 

[nancipants]

I will never understand why rD doesn’t order more sizes in merch. They know the smaller sizes sell out every weekend!!

 

[AZMermaid]

With no ears or backpacks and already running out of merchandise despite the limits…. Wonder if they had supply issues and that’s the real reason they tried to limit Dopey merch. Which is crazy. Order. Enough. Merch.
