We ran the 2026 Disneyland Half Marathon and are here to share all the details about our experience. We talk about what they've improved since our last half marathon experience at Disneyland in 2024, things we love about this race, things that are not our favorite, how the west coast runDisney races compare to the east coast races at Walt Disney World and so much more. Whether you were these running or wising you were there, this episode is a run recap of the last Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend before they  pause the west coast races again. 

In this episode we're talking with our friend Lexie from Wondermakers Travel about travel planning when it comes to raca-cations. And with runDisney race registrations right around the corner, we also dive in to some tips and tricks for securing a spot at an upcoming race. After all the helpful tips and insights, we had a chance to sit down with our longtime friends Zach and Jessie about their experience at the 2026 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend!  If you want help planning and booking an upcoming race-vacation (or vacation), you can reach Lexie Smith with Wondermakers Travel here: [email protected]://www.instagram.com/wondermakers_travel_lexiesmith/ And for our step-by-step guide to registering for a runDisney race, check out this youtube video on our channel: https://youtu.be/nv7Yrpg9snY?si=Qc2soTkES2S3Ggax  

Welcome to Season 2!!!! We’re kicking off with a very special guest: Amanda from Once Upon a Marathon. We consider her the "expert of all experts" when it comes to runDisney stuff and we're so excited she's  joining us us to share her wealth of knowledge on how to navigate a race weekend with friends. It may not seem like there's much to figure out when it comes to running with friends, but there are some pretty key conversations you need to have before you show up to the start line together!  We dive into the practical (and sometimes awkward) conversations you need to have with your running buddies before you even arrive at Disney. From roommate compatibility (are you a white noise or total silence sleeper?) to aligning your priorities between park time and race performance, we cover the logistics that can make or break your experience. Whether you’re a seasoned Dopey finisher or planning your very first 5K with your best friend, this episode is packed with tips to help you arrive confident and ready to run those miles!

This week on One More Run, we’re joined by the Rise and Run gang — Bob, Lexi, John, Jack, and Greg — to create the ultimate Top 10 list of must-do things for a runDisney race weekend. Together, we talk about what actually makes these races special: slowing down, soaking it all in, taking all the photos, cheering for strangers, making new friends, and leaning into the community that keeps us all coming back. We also have a lot of fun along the way with some classic “Would You Rather” scenarios that only runDisney runners will truly understand. If you’re new to runDisney, running a perfect season, or just need a reminder of why you fell in love with this community in the first place — this episode is for you!

Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend is right around the corner, and we’re here to try and help take some of the stress out of it! In this episode, we’re diving into two confusing (but important!) parts of a runDisney weekend: transportation and PhotoPass. From how the provided runDisney bus schedule works to how to get great race photos—we’re sharing everything we’ve learned from doing this a few (okay… many) times. If you’re gearing up for an upcoming runDisney race—especially Marathon Weekend—this one is for you. Also, we'd love some help coming up with topics for future episodes of the show. If you have any ideas, feel free to email us at [email protected]

In this episode, we’re walking through exactly what our runDisney race weekends look like from start to finish. If you’re heading into your first race weekend — or you just need some ideas for a smoother, less-stressful experience than last time — this is truly the episode we wish we had when we started. We also catch up with our friend Trevor, who’s training for his very first half marathon at Disney! He shares what’s surprised him, what’s working, and what he’s learned during his training process Whether you’re a first-timer or looking to fine-tune how you spend your time on a runDisney race weekend, this episode is packed with some schedule suggestions, helpful tips, and real moments (including a few emotional ones). We hope it helps you feel confident, prepared, and way less stressed heading into your next runDisney weekend. Let’s do this!

In this bonus episode, we’re recapping AJ’s experience running the 2025 Thanksgiving Day Half Marathon in Atlanta— a cold and hilly race that still delivered some unforgettable moments. We talk about the Triple Peach Race Series, the challenging elevation, the best parts of the course, and how Hollarhype messages from friends and family completely transformed the run. If you’re curious about Atlanta races, the Thanksgiving Day Half Marathon vibe, or how this compares to runDisney events, this quick recap is for you.

This episode is a special one — and honestly, probably the one we all need right now as the weight of training and life gets heavier and heavier. We had the most unbelievable honor of sitting down with Kristen from RunningInMakeup, someone many of you know and love from her incredible youtube channel, her creative costumes, and her genuine presence in the runDisney community. During our conversation, she opened up about what this year has looked like behind the scenes, why she's stepping back from filming marathon this year, and how she’s learning to put her own “oxygen mask” on first. We talk about losing joy, finding it again, balancing real-life struggles, and the courage it takes to show up for yourself. It's SO good. If you’re in the thick of marathon training, feeling tired, discouraged, distracted or feeling like you’re the only one struggling — this episode is for you. We hope it reminds you that you’re not alone, that running can be its own form of therapy, and that sometimes you need to take a look in the mirror and remind yourself of why you're doing this. Kristen has inspired us, we're so grateful and now even MORE excited for Marathon Weekend… and we can’t wait for you to hear it.  If you're not already subscribed to her YouTube Channel or following her Instagram, make that a priority... you'll be glad you did!  https://www.youtube.com/RunningInMakeup https://www.instagram.com/runninginmakeup 

Welcome back friends! This week, we’re diving deep into one of the overlooked parts of a runDisney race weekend — the Health & Fitness Expo.
