runDisney Makes Big Change to STOP Resellers
runDisney has just notified athletes of a big change. Find out what the change is and how it will impact runDisney participants!
runDisney Merchandise
runDisney merchandise is very popular. You usually only find these items at the runDisney Merchandise Shop which is during race weekends. Sometimes you will find some runDisney merchandise from event weekends throughout the property, but it is never a guarantee.
The runDisney Health & Fitness Expo is your go-to spot for runDisney merchandise! A virtual queue is also required for entry on the first day of the expo.
Some event merchandise can be preordered for a race weekend, but many event specific items are only available in person. Also, merchandise discounts can only be applied to in-person merchandise and not preordered items.
New Change
The athletes have spoken and runDisney has listened! It has been reported that runDisney has notified Dopey participants of a big change for Day 1 of the expo.
Dopey Challenge merchandise will be limited to Dopey Challenge participants ONLY on Day 1 of the runDisney Health & Fitness Expo!
Dopey Challenge participants will now have a better chance of securing the coveted Dopey Challenge merchandise at the 2026 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend. Dopey Challenge merchandise will be limited to Dopey Challenge participants only on Day 1 of the expo.
Details - What You Need to Know
Dopey Challenge participants looking to purchase merchandise should be prepared to verify their registration. Athletes can do this by showing their Check-In Pass or Bib along with a valid photo ID.
Check-In Pass or Bib will be required to verify Dopey Challenge participant.
Item limits will apply. Dopey Challenge participants will only be able to purchase one item per item type per participant.
