Are you a runner? If so, you may know about runDisney events that happen throughout the year. Maybe you’ve even participated in some of those events and earned some really cool medals.
Well, if you’ll be around for the 2026 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend, which happens from January 7th through 11th, you might be wondering what kind of merchandise will be available for that event. Well, wonder no more, because we’ve got a first look at souvenirs you’ll be able to grab that marathon weekend!
The 2026 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend is asking you “What’s your story?” which is the theme of the weekend. According to runDisney, “From sci-fi adventures to mysterious mischief, romantic races to fantasy-filled finales, there’s a little something for every kind of runner during this one-of-a-kind event.” That includes the merchandise, which you’ll be able to shop for at the runDisney Health & Fitness Expo. This includes a Spirit Jersey, along with some fun shirts, jackets, hats, and even a running shoe-shaped souvenir.
There is also a collection of shirts highlighting each race of the marathon. You might just want to collect them all!
A water bottle is always a good accessory to have, so you’ll be able to grab a special marathon one. Plus, you’ll even find exclusive merchandise for Disney World Annual Passholders.
If you love mugs, you’ll find some of those, as well as much more clothing items to add to your closet (and your bragging rights for participating in the event).
So here’s what you need to know about shopping this new collection. The runDisney Health & Fitness Expo will be open to everyone at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex during the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend. All marathon weekend participants must visit the Expo at least the day before their first event to pick up their race bib, participant shirt, and any pre-purchased merchandise.
Be sure to download the official Digital Expo and Event Guide — it has all the information you need about visiting the Expo, including transportation and maps. Here are the Expo’s hours:
- Wednesday, January 7th, 2026 | 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM
- Thursday, January 8th, 2026 | 12:00 PM – 7:00 PM
- Friday, January 9th, 2026 | 12:00 PM – 7:00 PM
- Saturday, January 10th, 2026 | 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Happy shopping and running!
