With race weekend just around the corner, runDisney has officially previewed the 2026 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend merchandise collection, giving runners a first look at what will be waiting at the Health & Fitness Expo in January.
The 2026 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend presented by State Farm takes place January 7th through January 11th, 2026, bringing five days of races, celebrations, and pre-run shopping to Walt Disney World. As always, the event blends endurance with Disney storytelling, and this year’s merchandise leans fully into that concept.
A Closer Look at the 2026 Merchandise Collection
The newly previewed Marathon Weekend merchandise will be available exclusively at the runDisney Health & Fitness Expo, and it is designed to celebrate every mile earned. The collection includes a mix of apparel, hats, and accessories that runners can wear during the weekend or take home as long-lasting souvenirs.
Each race theme is represented through character-driven designs. Runners will spot Pluto leading the charge in sci-fi-inspired styles, Chip and Dale bringing their signature mischief into mystery-themed graphics, and Donald and Daisy anchoring romantic race motifs. An extra exhausted Goofy is featured on the Goofy Challenge and a Half design, while Mickey and Minnie lead the way through a 2026 storybook. Fantasy elements appear throughout the collection, tying together the full Marathon Weekend lineup.
As with previous years, the merchandise is built for both comfort and function. Cozy layers are clearly intended for early morning race starts, while lighter apparel and accessories work just as well for park days after crossing the finish line.
Where and When to Shop
All Marathon Weekend merchandise will be available at the runDisney Health & Fitness Expo, located at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. The Expo is open to the public, but all race participants are required to attend at least one day prior to their first event to pick up their race bib, participant shirt, and any pre-purchased items.
Expo hours for Marathon Weekend 2026 are as follows:
- Wednesday, January 7: 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM

- Friday, January 9: 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM
- Saturday, January 10: 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM
While the preview offers a solid glimpse at what is coming, additional items are typically revealed in person at the Expo. Popular sizes and styles typically move quickly!
With race weekend just around the corner, the 2026 merchandise preview sets the tone for a Marathon Weekend filled with storytelling, character charm, and well-earned celebration at every finish line. Will you be racing or cheering anyone on?
