Welcome back friends! This week, we’re diving deep into one of the overlooked parts of a runDisney race weekend — the Health & Fitness Expo. We walk through exactly what it feels like to be there, what you have to do, what you might want to do, and how to make the whole experience smoother, less overwhelming, and a lot more fun.

We share our personal routines, the order we like to do things, how to handle the runDisney merchandise rush, and the tips we wish we had known on our very first expo visit. If you’re gearing up for your first runDisney weekend or just looking to make your next one easier, we’ve got you covered.

We also talk about something brand new to us — the Hollerhype app and the Rise & Run community that helped us fall in love with it INSTANTLY. Spoiler: it surprised both of us in the best way.

If you’re training for an upcoming race, running your first runDisney event, or just love the energy of race weekends, we can’t wait to share this one with you.

It’s our 20th episode! 🎉 We’re joined by Doug and Michelle from Rope Drop on Deck (one of our favorite Disney podcasts) to talk runDisney, theme park strategies and travel tips. They are  total pros when it comes to Disney parks and Disney cruising, so we ask them all the things! Whether you’re planning your first runDisney trip or your tenth, this conversation is full of practical advice, fun stories, and plenty of laughs.

Doug co-hosts two Disney podcasts, be sure to check out BOTH of them. If you love the Disney parks, be sure to listen to Rope Drop Radio. If you love Disney cruising like us, Rope Drop on Deck is a must as well. 

Getting to and from Orlando for a race weekend can feel like its own endurance event — so we’re sharing all our favorite tips for traveling to a runDisney race stress-free. From when to book flights and hotels, to what to pack in your carry-on, to the one thing you don't want check in your luggage, this episode is all about keeping your trip smooth and fun. We also chat about Erika’s latest half-marathon PR and what it means for her proof of time. In this episode we're trying to make race-weekend travel one less thing to worry about!

Running can be one of the most rewarding things we do — but also one of the hardest. In this brutally honest episode, we open up about the emotions, self-doubt, and struggles that come with training and race day. We talk about the different ways our personalities shape how we run, why we run, what motivates us, and how we both face those “I don’t want to” moments. If you’ve ever questioned whether you belong, you've felt like you're not a "real" runner or maybe you just hear to know that you’re not alone — this episode is dedicated to you.

Plus, stay turned to the end for a conversation with friends who just finished their first runDisney race at Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend and share what the experience was like.

We’re back with another bonus race recap, this time sharing our experience running the Silver Comet Half Marathon— a fast, flat fall race just outside Atlanta, Georgia. This one was extra special: it was the 25th anniversary of the Silver Comet Half. We talk about what makes this event unique, how it felt to chase new PRs (personal records), and what we loved (and didn’t love) about running this USATF certified half marathon with a small-race vibe. From cold-weather starts to Garmin fails, hard miles, and finish-line emotions — this one has it all.

If you’re thinking about running the Silver Comet Half Marathon or looking for a great proof-of-time race for runDisney, this episode is packed with honest insights, laughs, and lessons from the course.

In this bonus episode, we’re recapping AJ’s soggy adventure at the 2025 Atlanta 10 Miler. From early alarms and Atlanta road closures to running several miles through pouring rain (with a smile!), we’re sharing all the highs, lows, and laughs from race day in Atlanta. It’s one of those races that tests your patience, your pace, and your poncho.

This was race 2 of 3 towards earning the Atlanta Track Club Triple Peach medal for 2025. Next up is the Atlanta Thanksgiving Day Half Marathon.

In this episode, we're covering two runDisney topics: First, how to use the Digital Expo & Event Guide to plan your race weekend, plus an inspiring interview with our teenage daughter about her runDisney journey, recovery from knee surgery, and what she’s learned from running the most magical miles on earth. This episode is perfect for anyone training for a Disney race or running as a family.

In our first "bonus" episode of the podcast, we're taking a deep look into our recent experience running the Peachtree City Classic 15K on October 18, 2025. This beautiful and unique course is located just south of Atlanta  in Peachtree City, Georgia and it has become an annual tradition for us to run this race. We're sharing what makes this race so great, a few funny stories and our favorite/least favorite parts of the 9.3 mile course!

In this episode of One More Run, we’re sharing one of the biggest lessons we’ve learned over the years: never try something new on race day. From testing outfits and fuel to practicing early alarms and even photo poses, we’re sharing the 15 things we've practiced at home before a RunDisney weekend. We’ll share a few stories of what went wrong when we didn’t follow our own advice—and what finally works for us now. If you want to show up on race day confident and ready for anything, this episode is for you.

Lining up at the start line for a big race like runDisney can feel chaotic, but we're here to help you take the stress out of the start line. We’re breaking down everything you need to know about corrals — what they are, how they work, and how to make the most of your race-day experience. From handling nerves and staying warm to having having the right attitude, we’re sharing our best tips (and a few funny stories) from our many early morning i a race corral. Plus, we chat with first-time runDisney runner Krysten about her training, her mindset, and what she’s most excited for at her first Princess 5K.
