2026 Disney Marathon Reality Check | Characters, Crowds, and Emotions

Описание: Disney World marathon recap, RunDisney stories, and mindset lessons from two Indiana pros who tackled 26.2 miles. Brian Quinlan and Brad Niccum break down Marathon Weekend from the 3AM Epcot arrival to the Magic Kingdom crowd goosebumps, Hollywood Studios moments, and the mental tricks that got them to the finish.

This episode is the “post-marathon edition” of Indiana Success Happy Hour — medals on the table, tired legs, and a lot of laughs. Brian shares what it’s like running his first marathon with a knee brace, a head full of unknowns, and one clear goal: keep moving forward (and stay ahead of the balloon ladies). Brad compares the Disney experience to other races, explains why the parks are the best part, and admits the strange truth about marathon running: it can be both awesome and horrible at the same time.

They talk about the sea of runners flowing into Epcot before sunrise, why walking can hurt more than jogging, the surprisingly emotional moments that sneak up on you near the end, and the small kindnesses from strangers that hit harder than any training plan. Plus: course highlights, the “parking lot miles,” character sightings, crowd energy on Main Street, and how it all ties back to real life—run hard, be nice.

They also give a huge thank you to everyone who donated and helped raise over $4,150 for a local pantry—proof that a big challenge can turn into an even bigger impact.

If you’ve ever thought about running a Disney race (even just a 5K or 10K), this one’s your inside look at what it feels like, what surprised them most, and what they’d do differently next time.
