Princess Half Marathon Weekend 2026 (Feb 26-Mar 2, 2026)

Merida doesn't meet anywhere in the parks since she got bumped by Mirabel right?

I don't think so, no. Maybe they'll throw us a bone and put her back out somewhere just for the weekend?

I know for a while it had been reported that she’s been in the rotation at Cinderella’s Royal table. In on occasion she will pop up outside of City Hall randomly

Didn't she get moved over somewhere behind the Christmas Shop/SFR Treehouse initially when Mirabel took over? No clue how long that lasted...

I've only seen Tiana over there the last year or two, but we don't go that way often.

I'm OK with these.

I wonder if there will be "throwing star" issues with TSA with the HM medal, and I'm not sure about Belle's demonic eye color for the Challenge, but that's not a problem for me since I'm not running the HM!

No obvious moving parts. I wonder if there will be something on the back.

I'm also trying to decide if they are "stained glass" like the belle medal was for 2021, or if it's just marbled enamel filling over a solid back.

Yes. I should read the post and not just look at the pics. They ARE stained glass appearance for parts of the medals.

I like the bear paw!

I like these! Especially the half, which is good, because that's what I'm running.

I'm happy

And just in time too, the 100-day countdown to the Expo starts tomorrow!

 

[Naomeri]

I really love the medals

 

[KCO5988]

Also love these. It would be great if the shirt colors matched the medals

Calling all running royalty, 100 days until the Expo!

Where is everyone staying at? We're booked at Riverside, simply because we've never stayed there and wanted to experience the resort at least once. Not sure it's the best resort for a runDisney race since it's so spread out and I like being close to the buses, but excited to see for myself!

Wow! 100 days already?!

I'm staying at Movies.

Me too! The Merida 10K shirt from 2018 is that gorgeous dark teal and I wear it all the time. It's one of the few I didn't sacrifice to my quilt.

We're at Saratoga, where I've only stayed one time for a race before. I suspect we may drive for the 5K and 10K, as some of my fellow travelers are doing those races too (and my mom has HC access and is going to spectate). I will keep an ear out for any bus issues, but if they seem to be good, I'll probably do that for the half.

I laughed when I saw your question because… I honestly couldn’t remember where I booked… or IF I had anything booked! I’ve got a lot going on in general plus 3 WDW reservations covering a Dec trip, PHM, and SpS.

POR is great: one of my favorite resorts. I think you’ll love it!
