On today’s episode, we’re on our way home from Marathon Weekend! However, Natalie didn’t want to leave you without an episode this week. She’ll be discussing the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend 2026 Event Guide. It’s a little bittersweet to be talking about the final Disneyland race for the foreseeable future, but we’re all hoping it’s simply a “ta ta for now.” She’ll break down everything from yoga to the expo logistics to the races themselves … and all those magical details in between.

Note: this episode was recorded prior to Marathon Weekend 2026. As such, the commentary about the Disneyland Half Marathon course not having water stops or medical marked is now outdated.

So lace up your shoes, and step into the magic with us!
