On your mark…get set…MERCH! The 2026 runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend is only a couple of weeks away. Thousands of runners from near and far will be in Disney World the weekend of April 16th through April 20th. If you will be among them, get ready to gEAR up! This year we’ll be celebrating favorite Disney duos. It’s sure to be a magical time.
We recently posted details about Springtime Surprise Weekend including information about the event’s Health & Fitness Expo. If you will be attending the Expo, we’ve got a sneak peek at some of the official runDisney 2026 Springtime Surprise Weekend merchandise you’ll be able to shop. Before we get to the merchandise, let’s go over the Expo details once again.
runDisney Health & Fitness Expo
This Expo is held at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex on Disney property. All race participants must visit the Expo at least one day prior to their first race in order to pick up their race bib, participant shirt, and any pre-purchased merchandise. The Expo also includes vendors, exhibits, photo ops, and character meet and greets. The following are the dates and times for the 2026 runDisney Springtime Surprise Health & Fitness Expo:
- Thursday, April 16th from 10:00am to 7:00pm
- Friday, April 17th from 12:00pm to 7:00pm
- Saturday, April 18th from 11:00am to 3:00pm
To enter the merchandise building on the first day of the Expo, you will need to join a virtual queue if you’re not a Gold or Platinum Club runDisney Member. Now, let’s get on to the merchandise!
2026 Springtime Surprise Weekend Merchandise
As usual, we’ve got a variety of merchandise options for this event. We’re going to go over the items that runDisney has sneak peeked. However, they teased that this is only some of what will be available. We can expect a lot more to explore at the Expo!
First up, it looks like we will have a pair of ears and a Spirit Jersey featuring a number of the Disney duos from race weekend.
No matter which race distance you’ll be running, you will have a variety of shirts and mesh tanks from which to choose.
There will also be a shirt and tank featuring the collective themes of all of the weekend’s races.
Stay hydrated with an awesome water bottle featuring all of the race weekend Disney duos. How about gearing up with a new mug to enjoy your morning coffee or afternoon tea? You’ll get a daily reminder of all of your magical miles!
If you collect runDisney shoe ornaments (or want to start!) you will have a new option to add to your collection.
We can’t wait to see what else will be available to commemorate this race weekend! In addition to sneak peeked items, we typically see a number of pins as well as Annual Passholder exclusive merchandise. If you’ll be coming to Disney World in a couple of weeks for the races, we can’t wait to see you there! The MouseHouseNews.net team will be on the ground reporting (and running) as well.
