Hi Michelle!
Thank you for bringing your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
You can register for other things when you register for the marathon. There is a list provided on the
Walt Disney World Marathon website, under the "EVENTS" tab. My favorite "extra" is the Race Retreat tent. It's a bit of a splurge but (in my opinion), it's worth it, especially if the weather is cold and/or rainy. Here is a list of what it includes:
Pre-Race Amenities Pre-race bagels and fruit, plus coffee, water and PowerAde
Temperature-controlled tent
Private restrooms and bag check
Padded stretching area
Disney character Meet & Greets
Self-treatment and First Aid station
Breakfast (Half)
Brunch (Full)
Post-Race Amenities Live results information area
Breakfast or Brunch with hot and cold beverages
Changing tents
Self-treatment and First Aid station
10-minute massage for only $10 (based on availability)
Designated location to meet friends and family to celebrate your accomplishment!*
Disney character Meet & Greets
Other Amenities: Walt Disney World® Marathon Weekend commemorative giveaway item
Live video feed from the Finish Line
Information Station
During registration, you can also purchase commemorative items such as jackets, pins, purses, etc. Most of those items will also be available at the expo during the race weekend but do have a tendency to sell out quickly. So, if you have your heart set on one, you may want to pre-order it during registration.
I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions.
