• Each race has its own individual theme, with the 5K being themed to “Celebrate Joy,” the 10K to “Celebrate Imagination,” and the half marathon to “Celebrate Togetherness.”
• For the biggest challenge, the event weekend also offers the Dumbo Double Dare Challenge, which invites racers to take on the 10K and the half-marathon for a special medal. 
• As the race weekend approaches, runDisney Blog has unveiled merchandise items that runners can pick up to commemorate their on-foot trip around the resort.
• Available at the runDisney Health & Fitness Expo at the Disneyland Hotel, fans will find a lineup of apparel, accessories, and collectibles only available during the weekend. 

• Each race has its own special shirt, allowing runners to show off their accomplishments. 

• Honing in on the jewel-toned aesthetic of the Disneyland 70th, fans will also find apparel that showcases characters like Dumbo, Sorcerer Mickey, and Joy. 

• You’ll also find a specialty pair of Minnie ears, houseware items, and magnets. 

• And this is just a small preview of the amazing shopping headed to the Disneyland Hotel’s Exhibit Hall.

runDisney Hiatus:

• The 2026 Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend will be somewhat of a last hurrah at the Disneyland Resort.
• After the weekend, runDisney events will go on hiatus for an unspecified amount of time due to construction projects around the resort. 
• While Disney didn’t specify the exact reason, it is safe to assume the major Disneyland Forward projects, including a new parking structure, the Avatar expansion of Disney California Adventure, and other expansions are the main culprit.
• runDisney events will continue at Walt Disney World and their virtual races.
