In this episode, we're sharing our personal runDisney packing lists as we count down the final two weeks to the Walt Disney World Marathon.

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.

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!

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.

We also catch up with our friend Trevor, who's training for his very first half marathon at Disney!

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 [https://www.youtube.com/@RunningInMakeup]or following her Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/runninginmakeup], make that a priority... you'll be glad you did!  https://www.youtube.com/RunningInMakeup [https://www.youtube.com/@RunningInMakeup] https://www.instagram.com/runninginmakeup
