runDisney has unveiled the merchandise collection for the 2026 Princess Half Marathon, which Disney says is themed around the power of transformation and the work it takes to reach your goals.

This year's collection draws inspiration from four Disney Princesses: Merida, Moana, Rapunzel, and Belle.

The women's apparel lineup includes a tank and skirt combo, an ombre spirit jersey, and a jacket with reflective piping. You'll find a performance tee and a sheer jacket in the mix. Pink takes center stage across multiple items.

A customizable headband lets you arrange removable patches where you want them. The design gives you control over your race day look.

The men's line swaps pink for a gray cloud wash finish. Reflective taping, custom neck taping, and custom zipper pulls appear across the collection.

Individual race collections offer both performance fabrics and athleisure options. Each race gets a performance tee and a relaxed-fit item with twist details.

The Fairy Tale Challenge brings its own empowerment tee. Half marathon runners get their dedicated performance tee.

Stackable mugs return for 2026. The collection includes:

  • Shoe ornament
  • Corkscrew tumbler
  • Training pins
  • Metal replica pins

A performance tank designed for yoga joins the lineup. Tri-blend tees offer a softer option for training runs or casual wear.

Annual Passholders get their own designs across the race collections.

Expo Dates and Times

The merchandise will be available at the runDisney Health & Fitness Expo:

Agree. Paying $635 solely to register early for just one race over the 4 in person race weekends isn't a good value.

I wouldn't recommend to someone going for "just" the 5K to register for Club runDisney. It really only has value for those running multiple races/weekends a year. Just my opinion tho.

LAKid53Jan 03, 2026

While Silver level membership isn't sold out, It won't get you the benefit of early registration for the 2027 race year. You'll have to wait until general registration opens later this year for Club rD or pay the $289 now to join as a Silver member and hope you can upgrade when the opportunity opens for current Silver members, which still won't give you early registration for 2027 races. I'd just be on all my devices at 9:45 AM the day general registration for 2027 Princess opens. If it is sold out before you pay, try one of the charities. Oh, and don't purchase any merchandise offered for pre-sale during your registration process until you've paid for the registration and received confirmation. You can always go back at buy it.

Right, which I am but like mentioned signing up now for it doesn't benefit you any really for the current registration cycle.

LAKid53Jan 03, 2026

Unless you're a current Platinum or Gold member, you will wait until general registration begins a week after early registration opens.

LAKid53Jan 03, 2026

The only Club runDisney membership levels that include early registration are Platinum and Gold. You need to be a current Club rD member to register for races. 2027 Princess Half Weekend races registration is in June 2026....in fact ALL the 2027 races are registering in 2026. So only current Platinum and Gold members (membership is from January 1st to December 31st) will be able to register early for 2027 races. When Club runDisney membership opens to the general public later this year, there are few spots available at either Platinum or Gold for new members.

RteetzJan 02, 2026

No you do not need to sign up for Club runDisney. That in itself may not even help you. General registration dates were just announced today. June 2nd will be Princess and it will open at 10AM EST. The 5K will sell out on registration day. The 5K and 10K are usually the first to go. Be online and logged in right away at 10.

Looking to do a 5k in 2027 - do I need to sign up for RunDisney or will the public on sale work? Will these sell out on the on sale date? Any info is appreciated for a newbie!

Kellsie's Hope is another good one. The people in the bright yellow T-shirts cheering us on.

$650 total for 5k through GKTW if you can swing it. $125 down

LAKid53Jun 24, 2025

You COULD always register through a charity.

I am SO MAD right now. I can actually run the 5k (due to my work schedule) AND it's Merida themed and SOLD OUT...............jagjuoagoewrjhb ioaehg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
